Abstract excerpt
Acetylation of nucleosome core histones, which is positively correlated with transcriptional activity, is developmentally regulated in Xenopus. Here we have used the specific histone deacetylase (HDAC)-inhibitor trichostatin A (TSA) to induce precocious histone hyperacetylation in the early frog embryo in order to investigate the potential role of the endogenous changes in chromatin acetylation for the temporally...
