Quantification of Histone Acetyltransferase and Histone Deacetylase Transcripts During Early Bovine Embryo Development1
1 Feb 2003
Abstract excerpt
Mammalian oocytes are very unique cells with an unlimited developmental potential. These totipotent cells are able to remove existing gene-expression patterns and to impose new ones. However, genome reprogramming is still a mystery. Posttranslational modifications by acetylation of the N-termini portion of histones composing the nucleosome are involved in genome reprogramming. These modifications alter the...
