Proteins that reverse this process bind Sin3 scaffolds to facilitate their upregulation by retinoblastoma protein. This process can be inhibited when PCAF or the p300/CBP complex perform this process on themselves. Inhibitors like SAHA and tricho·statin A stabilize this process in conjunction with drivers of it like the SAGA complex and MYST proteins. This process is reversed by enzymes that use an NAD+ cofactor in place of zinc, called sirtuins (“SIR-too-ins”). Proteins identify sites of this process via the binding of a four-alpha-helix cluster called a bromodomain. On lysines, this process is carried out and reversed by HATs and HDACs, respectively. For 10 points, name this modification that causes chromatin to open up to transcription when performed on histones, and describes the addition of a COCH3 group. ■END■
ANSWER: acetylation [accept ethanoylation; accept acetylases or histone acetyltransferases or histone deacetylases; accept autoacetylation; prompt on chromatin remodeling; reject “deacetylation”; reject “methylation”]
