Recent report showing two different steroid resistant asthma groups showing different ability in terms of histone acetylation also suggest that the cause of steroid resistance is not simple ...

Acetylation is a chemical reaction that is called ethanoylation in the IUPAC nomenclature. It describes a reaction that introduces an acetyl functional group into a chemical compound. The opposite ...

SIRT1 is a deacetylase, an enzyme that removes acetyl groups from proteins. Like phosphorylation, acetylation regulates many different cellular functions, including cytoskeleton dynamics.

The levels of H3K9 acetylation were examined at salt responsive gene promoter regions. They propose that, under normal condition, FVE/HDA13 complex acts at H3K9 for deacetylation, leading to low ...
