Abstract excerpt
Histone H4 can be acetylated at N-terminal lysines K5, K8, K12, and K16, but newly synthesized H4 is diacetylated at K5/K12 in diverse organisms. This pattern is widely thought to be important for histone deposition onto replicating DNA. To investigate the importance of K5/K12 we have mutagenized these lysines in yeast and assayed for nucleosome assembly. Assaying was done in the absence of the histone H3 N...
