Catalysis of the transfer of an acetyl group to a nitrogen atom on the acceptor molecule. Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl phosphate + L-lysine = phosphate + N6-acetyl-L-lysine. Catalysis of the addition of an acetyl group to a lysine of the histone H2A. Catalysis of the addition of an acetyl group to a histone, specific for histones H3. Catalysis of the addition of an acetyl group to a histone, specific for histones H4. Catalysis of the reaction: acetyl-CoA + histone = CoA + acetyl-histone. Catalysis of the addition of an acetyl group to a lysine of the histone H2B.
