The Chromosome Passenger Complex (CPC) generates chromosome autonomous signals that regulate mitotic events critical for genome stability. Tip60 is a lysine acetyltransferase that is a tumor suppressor and is targeted for proteasomal degradation by oncogenic papilloma viruses. Mitotic regulation requires the localization of the CPC to inner centromeres, which is driven by the Haspin kinase phosphorylating histone H3 on threonine 3 (H3T3ph). Here we describe how Tip60 acetylates histone H3 at lysine 4 (H3K4ac) to block both the H3T3ph writer and the reader to ensure that this mitotic signaling cannot begin before prophase. Specifically, H3K4ac inhibits Haspin phosphorylation of H3T3 and prevents binding of the S... More
