Abstract:ABSRACTChromatin remodeling by acetylation and deacetylation of histones play an essential role in regulation of the gene expression. The opposing activity of two type enzymes controls the acetylation degree of the chromatin structure. Histone acetylation by acetyltransferases leads to relaxed chromatin structure and this process supports the transcription. Deacetylation by histone deacetylases (HDACs) compact the chromatin structure and favors gene silence. Small molecule inhibitors of HDACs are a new class d… Show more
