Chromatin: Histone acetyltransferases in control
Research on transcriptional control in eukaryotes traditionally takes a two-pronged approach, relying on genetic analysis to define the regulatory elements and transcription factors required to activate or repress a promoter, and on biochemical methods to purify the transcription factors, define their structure and reconstruct their activities in vitro. Genetics usually leads the way, but occas...
متن کاملRegulating histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases.
Histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases regulate the acetylation of histones and transcription factors, and in doing so have major roles in the control of cell fate. Many recent results have indicated that their function is strictly regulated in cells through the modulation of their levels, activity and availability for interaction with specific transcription factors. In this review...
متن کاملHistone Acetyltransferases in Plant Development and Plasticity
In eukaryotes, transcriptional regulation is determined by dynamic and reversible chromatin modifications, such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, ubiquitination, glycosylation, that are essential for the processes of DNA replication, DNA-repair, recombination and gene transcription. The reversible and rapid changes in histone acetylation induce genome-wide and specific alterations i...
متن کاملComputer-aided Molecular Design of Compounds Targeting Histone Modifying Enzymes
Growing evidences show that epigenetic mechanisms play crucial roles in the genesis and progression of many physiopathological processes. As a result, research in epigenetic grew at a fast pace in the last decade. In particular, the study of histone post-translational modifications encountered an extraordinary progression and many modifications have been characterized and associated to fundamen...
متن کاملCharacterization of novel inhibitors of histone acetyltransferases.
Modification of proteins by histone acetyltransferases (HAT) or histone deacetylases plays an important role in the control of gene expression, and its dysregulation has been linked to malignant transformation and other diseases. Although histone deacetylase inhibitors have been extensively studied and several are currently in clinical trials, there is little information available on inhibitors...
