Abstract excerpt
Deletion of the histone H4 N-terminal residues 4-23 decreases activation of the GAL1 promoter as much as 20-fold, while deletion of histone H3 N-terminal residues 4-15 hyperactivates GAL1 approximately 3-fold. In an attempt to understand the mechanisms by which these two different events take place, we have examined the effects of the H4 and H3 lesions on GAL1 chromatin structure. The bacterial dam methylase,...
