Abstract excerpt
Previous studies have shown that loss of the type B histone acetyltransferase Hat1p leads to defects in telomeric silencing in Saccharomyces cerevisiae. We used this phenotype to explore a number of functional characteristics of this enzyme. To determine whether the enzymatic activity of Hat1p is necessary for its role in telomeric silencing, a structurally conserved glutamic acid residue (Glu-255) that has been...
