General description

Histones are nuclear proteins that form octameric structures which bind DNA to form units of chromatin called nucleosomes. The family of histonesR12;H2A, H2B, H3, and H4R12;are key players in gene regulation. They undergo a number of post-translational modifications (PTM) in response to various stimuli. Acetylation is a reversible PTM that involves the transfer of acetyl groups to N-terminal lysine (K) residues by a family of histone acetyltransferase enzymes, including GNAT, Gcn5, and p300/CBP. Histone acetylation reduces the electrostatic attractions between DNA and histones, which destabilizes chromatin structure and provide chromatin remodeling and transcriptional complexes, with access to DNA, potentially resulting in increased gene transcription. In fission yeast, acetylation of H3K4 is regulated by Gcn5 and the Mst2 complex, and is crucial to the activation of DNA damage checkpoint.
