Trichostatin A effects on gene expression in the protozoan parasite Entamoeba histolytica
5 Jul 2007
Abstract excerpt
BACKGROUND: Histone modification regulates chromatin structure and influences gene expression associated with diverse biological functions including cellular differentiation, cancer, maintenance of genome architecture, and pathogen virulence. In Entamoeba, a deep-branching eukaryote, short chain fatty acids (SCFA) affect histone acetylation and parasite development. Additionally, a number of active histone...
