Histone acetyltransferasesS Y Roth
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
Annu Rev Biochem 70:81-120. 2001..Although the functions of HATs and the mechanisms by which they are regulated are only beginning to be understood, these fundamental processes are likely to have far-reaching implications for human biology and disease...
Ssn6-Tup1 interacts with class I histone deacetylases required for repressionA D Watson
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
Genes Dev 14:2737-44. 2000..Strikingly, two of these class I HDACs interact physically with Ssn6-Tup1. These findings suggest that Ssn6-Tup1 actively recruits deacetylase activities to deacetylate adjacent nucleosomes and promote Tup1-histone interactions...
Essential and redundant functions of histone acetylation revealed by mutation of target lysines and loss of the Gcn5p acetyltransferaseW Zhang
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, U T M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, TX 77030, USA
EMBO J 17:3155-67. 1998....
Loss of Gcn5l2 leads to increased apoptosis and mesodermal defects during mouse developmentW Xu
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, USA
Nat Genet 26:229-32. 2000..Our studies are the first to demonstrate that specific acetyltransferases are required for cell survival and mesoderm formation during mammalian development...
Recruitment of the yeast Tup1p-Ssn6p repressor is associated with localized decreases in histone acetylationJ R Bone
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, The University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
J Biol Chem 276:1808-13. 2001..Taken together, our results suggest that stable decreases in histone acetylation levels are directed and/or maintained by the Tup1p-Ssn6p repressor complex...
Amino termini of histones H3 and H4 are required for a1-alpha2 repression in yeastL Huang
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston 77030, USA
Mol Cell Biol 17:6555-62. 1997..Our data indicate that chromatin is important to Ssn6-Tup1-mediated repression but that the degrees of chromatin organization directed by these proteins differ at different promoters...
Mammalian GCN5 and P/CAF acetyltransferases have homologous amino-terminal domains important for recognition of nucleosomal substratesW Xu
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas 77030, USA
Mol Cell Biol 18:5659-69. 1998..Thus, the unique amino-terminal domains of mammalian P/CAF and GCN5 may provide additional functions important to recognition of chromatin substrates and the regulation of gene expression...
Identification of protein interactions by far Western analysisD G Edmondson
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, USA
Curr Protoc Mol Biol . 2001..This method is performed totally in vitro, and the proteins of interest can be prepared in a variety of ways...
Identification of protein interactions by far Western analysisD G Edmondson
M.D. Anderson Cancer Center, Houston, Texas, USA
Curr Protoc Cell Biol . 2001..This technique utilizes a nonantibody protein probe to detect interacting proteins immobilized on a membrane support. Proteins to be assayed can be prepared by multiple techniques and detected by several labeling schemes...
Repression domain of the yeast global repressor Tup1 interacts directly with histones H3 and H4D G Edmondson
Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Texas M D Anderson Cancer Center, Houston 77030, USA
Genes Dev 10:1247-59. 1996..Tup1/histone interactions are negatively influenced by high levels of histone acetylation, suggesting a mechanism whereby the organization of chromatin may be modulated in response to changing environmental signals...
Conservation of histone binding and transcriptional repressor functions in a Schizosaccharomyces pombe Tup1p homologY Mukai
Department of Biotechnology, Graduate School of Engineering, Osaka University, Suita, Osaka 565 0871, Japan
Mol Cell Biol 19:8461-8. 1999..pombe. Furthermore, Tup11p binds specifically to histones H3 and H4 in vitro, indicating that both the repression and histone binding functions of Tup1p-related proteins are conserved across species...
Transcription-linked acetylation by Gcn5p of histones H3 and H4 at specific lysinesM H Kuo
Department of Biology, University of Rochester, New York 14627, USA
Nature 383:269-72. 1996....
Tetrahymena histone acetyltransferase A: a homolog to yeast Gcn5p linking histone acetylation to gene activationJ E Brownell
Department of Biology, University of Rochester, New York, 14627, USA
Cell 84:843-51. 1996..These findings shed light on the biochemical function of the evolutionarily conserved Gcn5p-Ada complex, directly linking histone acetylation to gene activation, and indicate that histone acetylation is a targeted phenomenon...
