HATs off! The development of the first cell‐permeable small‐molecule inhibitor of the human histone acetyltransferase (HAT) Gcn5 opens up new possibilities for understanding the histone code. Based on kinetic data and the proposed mechanism of the acetylation by Gcn5, the relatively simple butyrolactone structure of the inhibitor was identified.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
