Histone acetylation: chromatin in action

P A Wade et al. Trends Biochem Sci. 1997 Apr.

Abstract

Histone acetylation acts as a landmark and determinant for chromatin function. Active roles in the transcription and assembly of chromatin have been discovered for histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases. This review highlights these roles and discusses their significance for the maintenance of cell differentiation.
