Abstract excerpt
Histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity has been demonstrated for several transcriptional activators, formally connecting chromatin modification with gene regulation. However, no effect on chromatin has been demonstrated. We have investigated the role of the HAT Gcn5 at the nucleosomally regulated PHO5 promoter. Under conditions of constitutive submaximal activation (i.e., in the absence of the negative...
