Abstract excerpt
Yeast and human ADA2 and GCN5 (y- and hADA2 and y- and hGCN5, respectively) have been shown to potentiate transcription in vivo and may function as adaptors to bridge physical interactions between DNA-bound activators and the basal transcriptional machinery. Recently it was shown that yGCN5 is a histone acetyltransferase (HAT), suggesting a link between enzymatic modification of nucleosomes and transcriptional...
