What is the role of acetylation in transcription?
Acetylation usually occurs on lysine residues, neutralizing their positive charge and thereby causing histones to drift away from DNA, which has a negative charge. The released structure facilitates access to transcriptional machinery such as transcription factors and RNA polymerase II.Sep 21, 2020
