Suppression of yolk polypeptide gene expression in Drosophila melanogaster by sodium butyrate treatment

Creator:

Fairfax, Carolyn S.

Abstract:

Current evidence suggests that temporal regulation of gene expression in eucaryotic organisms relies primarily upon localized structural modifications of chromatin. One possible means of changing chromatin structure is through varying the level of acetylation of the histone proteins. Sodium butyrate has been found to inhibit the activity of histone deacetylase...
