Curcumin, a novel p300/CREB-binding protein-specific inhibitor of acetyltransferase, represses the acetylation of histone/nonhistone proteins and histone acetyltransferase-dependent chromatin transcription.

TL;DR: It is reported that curcumin (diferuloylmethane), a major curcumanoid in the spice turmeric, is a specific inhibitor of the p300/CREB-binding protein (CBP) HAT activity but not of p300-associated factor, in vitro and in vivo.
Journal ArticleDOI

Polyisoprenylated Benzophenone, Garcinol, a Natural Histone Acetyltransferase Inhibitor, Represses Chromatin Transcription and Alters Global Gene Expression

TL;DR: Garinol, a polyisoprenylated benzophenone derivative from Garcinia indica fruit rind, is a potent inhibitor of histone acetyltransferases p300 and PCAF both in vitro and in vivo and alters (predominantly down-regulates) the global gene expression in HeLa cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Small molecule modulators of histone acetyltransferase p300.

TL;DR: It is reported that anacardic acid from cashew nut shell liquid is a potent inhibitor of p300 and p300/CBP-associated factor histone acetyltranferase activities and an amide derivative N-(4-chloro-3-trifluoromethyl-phenyl)-2-ethoxy-6-pentadecyl-benzamide (CTPB) is described, which remarkably activates p300 HAT activity but not that of p
Journal ArticleDOI

HATs off: selective synthetic inhibitors of the histone acetyltransferases p300 and PCAF.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors describe the design, synthesis, and application of peptide CoA conjugates as selective HAT inhibitors for the transcriptional coactivators p300 and PCAF.
Journal ArticleDOI

Human STAGA Complex Is a Chromatin-Acetylating Transcription Coactivator That Interacts with Pre-mRNA Splicing and DNA Damage-Binding Factors In Vivo

TL;DR: The results suggest cellular roles of STAGA in chromatin modification, transcription, and transcription-coupled processes through direct physical interactions with sequence-specific transcription activators and with components of the splicing and DNA repair machineries.
