摘要: The histone H4 acetylation status of the active X (Xa) and inactive (Xi) chromosomes was investigated at level individual genes. A moderate observed along lengths genes on both Xi Xa, regardless their inactivation status. However, this modified specifically in promoter regions. Transcriptionally showed elevated levels promoters Xa. In contrast, X-inactivated were markedly hypoacetylated, which coincided with methylation adjacent CG dinucleotides. This promoter-specific hypoacetylation may be a key component an machinery that operates
