(Submitter supplied) Although histone-modifying enzymes are assumed to function in a manner dependent on their enzymatic activities, this assumption remains untested for many factors. Here we show the Tip60 (Kat5) lysine acetyltransferase (KAT), which is essential for embryonic stem cell (ESC) self-renewal and pre-implantation development, performs these functions independently of its KAT activity. Unlike ESCs depleted of Tip60, KAT–deficient ESCs exhibited minimal alterations in gene expression, chromatin accessibility at Tip60 binding sites, and self-renewal, thus demonstrating a critical KAT–independent role of Tip60 in ESC maintenance.
