The enzyme that acetylates H3 and H4 tails is called this this: histone acetyltransferases(HATs) and the molecule that is used for acetylation is Acetyl-Coenzyme A.
Acetylation of histone H3 and H4 occurs at several different lysine positions in the histone tail and is performed by a family of enzymes known as histone acetyltransferases.
The acetyl group contains a methyl group single-bonded to a carbonyl (CH3CO) and is used for acetylation. In acetylation of H3 and H4, an acetyl group is transferred from acety coenzyme A to H3 or H4..
