Abstract excerpt
Distinct posttranslational modifications on histones occur in specific patterns to mediate certain chromosomal events. For example, on histone H3, phosphorylation at Ser10 can enhance GCN5-mediated Lys14 acetylation to promote transcription. To gain insight into the mechanism underlying this synergism, we determined the structure of Tetrahymena GCN5 (tGCN5) and coenzyme A (CoA) bound to unmodified and...
