Regulating histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases regulate the acetylation of histones and transcription factors, and in doing so have major roles in the control of cell fate. Many recent results have indicated that their function is strictly regulated in cells through the modulation of their levels, activity and availability for interaction with specific transcription factors. In this review, we present the various molecular mechanisms that bring about this tight regulation and discuss how these regulatory events influence cellular responses to environmental changes.

Histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases in B- and T-cell development, physiology and malignancy
The development of B and T cells from hematopoietic precursors and the regulation of the functions of these immune cells are complex processes that involve highly regulated signaling pathways and transcriptional control. The signaling pathways and gene expression patterns that give rise to these developmental processes are coordinated, in part, by two opposing classes of broad-based enzymatic r...
متن کاملThe Role of Histone Deacetylases in GlucoseMetabolism: a Mini- Review
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) and histone acetyltransferases (HATs) maintain the balance of histone acetylation, and play important role in chromosome modification and gene expression. Histone deacetylases have been identified to modify acetylation of proteins other than histones and inhibit gene expression. Here we summarize the functions of histone deacetylases in glycometabolism including the...
متن کاملHistone acetylation in Zea mays.I. Activities of histone acetyltransferases and histone deacetylases.
DEAE-Sepharose chromatography of extracts from Zea mays meristematic cells revealed multiple histone acetyltransferase and histone deacetylase enzyme forms. An improved method for nuclear isolation allowed us to discriminate nuclear and cytoplasmic enzymes. Two nuclear histone acetyltransferases, A1 and A2, a cytoplasmic B-enzyme and two nuclear histone deacetylases, HD1 and HD2, have been iden...
متن کاملDynamic histone acetylation and its involvement in transcription
Histones are subject to a variety of posttranslational modifications, the most studied being acetylation of the N terminal lysine residues. Acetylation is a dynamic event mediated by the actions of histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases. The exact function of this event in transcription has remained an enigma for several reasons. The enzymes that catalyze this dynamic event act on histones...
متن کاملExpression and functional analysis of the plant-specific histone deacetylase HDT701 in rice
Reversible histone acetylation and deacetylation at the N-terminus of histone tails play a crucial role in regulating eukaryotic gene activity. Acetylation of core histones is associated with gene activation, whereas deacetylation of histone is often correlated with gene repression. The level of histone acetylation is antagonistically catalyzed by histone acetyltransferases citation(HATs) and h...
