EPC1/TIP60-Mediated Histone Acetylation Facilitates Spermiogenesis in Mice
10 Jul 2017
Abstract excerpt
Global histone hyperacetylation is suggested to play a critical role for replacement of histones by transition proteins and protamines to compact the genome during spermiogenesis. However, the underlying mechanisms for hyperacetylation-mediated histone replacement remains poorly understood. Here, we report that EPC1 and TIP60, two critical components of the mammalian nucleosome acetyltransferase of H4 (NuA4)...
