Abstract excerpt
The p300 and closely related CBP acetyltransferases function as global transcriptional coactivators and play important roles in a broad spectrum of biological processes, including cell proliferation and differentiation. The p300 protein is targeted by viral oncoproteins, and mutations of the p300 gene associated with second allele inactivation have been identified in certain types of human cancers and carcinomas....
