Abstract excerpt
We identify Xenopus NF-Y as a key regulator of acetylation responsiveness for the Xenopus hsp70 promoter within chromatin assembled in Xenopus oocyte nuclei. Y-box sequences are required for the assembly of DNase I-hypersensitive sites in the hsp70 promoter, and for transcriptional activation both by inhibitors of histone deacetylase and by the p300 acetyltransferase. The viral oncoprotein E1A interferes with...
