Abstract excerpt
Changes in histone acetylation at promoters correlate with transcriptional activation and repression, but whether acetylation of histones in the coding region of genes is important for transcription is less clear. Here, we show that cells lacking the histone acetyltransferases Gcn5 and Elp3 have widespread and severe histone H3 hypoacetylation in chromatin. Surprisingly, severe hypoacetylation in the promoter...
