To check the correlation between BCAT2 and its acetyltransferase or deacetylase, we analyzed the correlation between CBP and BCAT2 expression in pancreatic cancer patients in a TCGA cohort and found that BCAT2 was negatively correlated with CBP (Supplementary Fig. S6a). The gene discussed is BCAT2; the disease is familial pancreatic carcinoma.
