Abstract excerpt

A collection of yeast temperature-sensitive mutants was screened by an enzymatic assay to find a mutant defective in the acetylation of histone H4. The assay used a fractionated cell extract and measured acetylation of a peptide corresponding to amino acids 1-28 of H4. There are at least two acti...
