Journal ArticleDOI

Yeast Gcn5 functions in two multisubunit complexes to acetylate nucleosomal histones: characterization of an Ada complex and the SAGA (Spt/Ada) complex.

TL;DR: The function of Gcn5 as a hist one acetyltransferase within the Ada and SAGA adaptor complexes indicates the importance of histone acetylation during steps in transcription activation mediated by interactions with transcription activators and general transcription factors.
Journal ArticleDOI

NURD, a Novel Complex with Both ATP-Dependent Chromatin-Remodeling and Histone Deacetylase Activities

TL;DR: The results suggest that ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling can participate in transcriptional repression by assisting repressors in gaining access to chromatin.
Journal ArticleDOI

ING2 PHD domain links histone H3 lysine 4 methylation to active gene repression

TL;DR: A novel class of methylated H3K4 effector domains—the PHD domains of the ING (for inhibitor of growth) family of tumour suppressor proteins—are identified and established a pivotal role for trimethylation of H 3K4 in gene repression and, potentially, tumour suppressing mechanisms.
Journal ArticleDOI

Stimulation of GAL4 Derivative Binding to Nucleosomal DNA by the Yeast SWI/SNF Complex

TL;DR: It is shown that the purified SWI/SNF complex is composed of 10 subunits and includes the SWI1, SWI2/ SNF2, SWi3, SNF5, and SNF6 gene products, and suggests that a primary role of the SWi/SNf complex is to promote activator binding to nucleosomal DNA.
