Acyl-CoA: diacylglycerol acyltransferase (DGAT, EC 2.3. 1.20) catalyzes the last reaction in
the acyl-CoA-dependent biosynthesis of triacylglycerol (TAG). DGAT activity resides mainly …

Glucose and related sugars repress the transcription of genes encoding enzymes required
for the utilization of alternative carbon sources; some of these genes are also repressed by …

The chromatin-remodelling complex SWI/SNF is highly conserved and has critical roles in
various cellular processes, including transcription and DNA-damage repair,. It hydrolyses …

Acetylation of the [var epsilon]-amino group of a lysine residue was first discovered with
histones in 1968, but the responsible enzymes, histone acetyltransferases and …

The ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling complex BAF (= mammalian SWI/SNF complex)
is crucial for the regulation of gene expression and differentiation. In the course of evolution …

The recruitment model for gene activation stipulates that an activator works by bringing the
transcriptional machinery to the DNA. Recent experiments in bacteria and yeast indicate that …

We have purified distinct complexes of nine to 12 proteins [referred to as BRG1‐associated
factors (BAFs)] from several mammalian cell lines using an antibody to the SWI2‐SNF2 …

The mammalian SWI/SNF complexes mediate ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling
processes that are critical for differentiation and proliferation. Not surprisingly, loss of …

The Third Edition of Chromatin: Structure and Function brings the reader up-to-date with the
remarkable progress in chromatin research over the past three years. It has been …

The SWI/SNF complex in yeast facilitates the function of transcriptional activators by
opposing chromatin-dependent repression of transcription. We demonstrate that in …
