Activating Compound

Activating Compound Comment Organism Structure
methylated histone stimulates interaction of NuA4 complex with histone Saccharomyces cerevisiae
NuA4 cooperation with the NuA4 complex to enhance its functions but independent contribution to acetylation Saccharomyces cerevisiae
SAGA cooperation with the Gcn5 complex to enhance its functions but independent contribution to acetylation Saccharomyces cerevisiae

Protein Variants

Protein Variants Comment Organism
L254P esa1 mutant (reduced histone H4 acetylation) at 36°C (restrictive temperature) is sensitive to 6-azauracil (inhibitor impeding elongation by lowering nucleotide pools) but shows little effect at 30°C (permissive temperature), gene length dependent defects in transcription Saccharomyces cerevisiae
additional information double mutant esa1/gcn5 at 36°C is very sensitive to 6-azauracil (inhibitor impeding elongation by lowering nucleotide pools) and shows littler but still strong effect at 30°C (permissive temperature), gene length dependent defects in transcription Saccharomyces cerevisiae
additional information gcn5 deletion mutant (reduced H3 acetylation) at 36°C (restrictive temperature) is very sensitive to 6-azauracil (inhibitor impeding elongation by lowering nucleotide pools) but shows less effect at 30°C (permissive temperature), gene length dependent defects in transcription Saccharomyces cerevisiae
