Abstract
Acetylation of histone H3 at residue K9 (H3K9ac) is a dynamically regulated mark associated with transcriptionally active promoters in eukaryotes. However, our understanding of the relationship between H3K9ac and gene expression remains mostly correlative. In this study, we identify a large suite of growth-related (GR) genes in yeast that undergo a particularly strong down-regulation of both transcription and promoter-associated H3K9ac upon stress, and delineate the roles of transcriptional activators (TAs), repressors, SAGA (Spt-Ada-Gcn5 acetyltransferase) histone acetyltransferase, and RNA-polymerase II in this response. We demonstrate that H3K9 acetylation states are orchestrated by a two-step mechanism driven by the dynamic binding of transcriptional repressors (TRs) and activators, that is independent of transcription. In response to stress, promoter release of TAs at GR genes is a prerequisite for rapid reduction of H3K9ac, whereas binding of TRs is required to establish a hypo-acetylated, strongly repressed state.
期刊介绍:
Nucleic Acids Research (NAR) is a scientific journal that publishes research on various aspects of nucleic acids and proteins involved in nucleic acid metabolism and interactions. It covers areas such as chemistry and synthetic biology, computational biology, gene regulation, chromatin and epigenetics, genome integrity, repair and replication, genomics, molecular biology, nucleic acid enzymes, RNA, and structural biology. The journal also includes a Survey and Summary section for brief reviews. Additionally, each year, the first issue is dedicated to biological databases, and an issue in July focuses on web-based software resources for the biological community. Nucleic Acids Research is indexed by several services including Abstracts on Hygiene and Communicable Diseases, Animal Breeding Abstracts, Agricultural Engineering Abstracts, Agbiotech News and Information, BIOSIS Previews, CAB Abstracts, and EMBASE.
