Histone acetylation represses transcription by maintaining a repressive chromatin structure at the HHAAG promoters. When glucose becomes limiting, reduced level of acetyl-CoA results in global histone hypoacetylation, loss of the repressive chromatin structure, and increased expression.
What is the effect of acetylation of histones?
Acetylation of histones alters accessibility of chromatin and allows DNA binding proteins to interact with exposed sites to activate gene transcription and downstream cellular functions.
Is histone acetylation repressive?
Histone acetylation is generally associated with gene activation and chromatin decondensation. Recent mass spectrometry analysis has revealed that histone H4 lysine 20, a major methylation site, can also be acetylated. ... These results suggest that H4K20ac is a unique acetylation mark associated with gene repression.
