Histone H4-K16 Acetylation Controls Chromatin Structure and Protein Interactions

TL;DR: H4-K16Ac inhibits the ability of the adenosine triphosphate–utilizing chromatin assembly and remodeling enzyme ACF to mobilize a mononucleosome, indicating that this single histone modification modulates both higher order chromatin structure and functional interactions between a nonhistone protein and the chromatin fiber.
Journal ArticleDOI

A complex containing N-CoR, mSin3 and histone deacetylase mediates transcriptional repression.

TL;DR: Data predict that the ligand-induced switch of heterodimeric nuclear receptors from repressor to activator functions involves the exchange of complexes containing histone deacetylases with those that have histone acetylase activity.
Journal ArticleDOI

Inhibition of Histone Deacetylase Activity by Butyrate

TL;DR: The model is proposed in which inhibition of Sp1/Sp3-associated HDAC activity leads to histone hyperacetylation and transcriptional activation of the p21(Waf1/Cip1) gene, which inhibits cyclin-dependent kinase 2 activity and thereby arrests cell cycling.
Journal ArticleDOI

Histone Deacetylases Associated with the mSin3 Corepressor Mediate Mad Transcriptional Repression

TL;DR: It is proposed that Mad-Max functions by recruiting the mSin3-HDAC corepressor complex that deacetylates nucleosomal histones, producing alterations in chromatin structure that block transcription.
Journal ArticleDOI

Isolation and Characterization of cDNAs Corresponding to an Additional Member of the Human Histone Deacetylase Gene Family

TL;DR: Several human cDNAs encoding a histone deacetylase protein, HDAC3, have been isolated and analysis of the predicted amino acid sequence revealed an open reading frame of 428 amino acids with a predicted molecular mass of 49 kDa.
