histone H4K16 acetyltransferase activity [GO_0046972]

Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + histone H4 L-lysine (position 16) = CoA + histone H4 N6-acetyl-L-lysine (position 16). This reaction represents the addition of an acetyl group to the lysine at position 16 of histone H4.

Class

Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + histone H4 L-lysine (position 16) = CoA + histone H4 N6-acetyl-L-lysine (position 16). This reaction represents the addition of an acetyl group to the lysine at position 16 of histone H4.

Note that the residue position corresponds to the canonical human H4 histone (UniProtKB:P02309); this residue is conserved across all eukaryotes. Note that the initiation methionine is cleaved, so the first residue is S1.
