Abstract excerpt
Elp3 and Gcn5 are histone acetyltransferases (HATs) that function in transcription as subunits of Elongator and SAGA/ADA, respectively. Here we show that mutations that impair the in vitro HAT activity of Elp3 confer typical elp phenotypes such as temperature sensitivity. Combining an elp3Delta mutation with histone H3 or H4 tail mutations confers lethality or sickness, supporting a role for Elongator in...
