Histone acetyltransferases recruited by the B‑WICH complex acetylate histone H3 at lysine‑9. Knockdown of the BAZ1B (WSTF) and MYOIC components of B‑WICH cause a loss of histone acetyltransferases KAT2B (PCAF), KAT2A (GCN5), and EP300 (p300) and a reduction of acetylated histone H3. Knockdown of KAT2B (PCAF) causes a reduction in acetylation of histone H3 at lysine‑9, leading to reduced rRNA synthesis levels (Sarshad et al. 2013, Shen et al. 2013).
