Butyryl-CoA competitively inhibits acetylation by human Gcn5. (a) Steady-state kinetic analysis comparing acetylation and butyrylation by human Gcn5 using a fixed concentration of 300 µM H3 peptide. By fitting this curve to the Michaelis–Menten equation, we obtain Km = 1.05 ± 0.02 µM and kcat = 0.91 ± 0.09 s−1. (b) Acetylation kinetics monitored in the presence of increasing concentrations of butyryl-CoA (0–0.3 mM). Data were globally fitted to a competitive-inhibition model. |
