Post-translational modifications of proteins, such as acetylation, are important regulatory events in eukaryotic cells. Reversible acetylations of histones and non-histone proteins regulate gene expression and protein activity. Acetylation levels of proteins are regulated by a dynamic equilibrium between acetylation by (histone) acetyltransferases and deacetylation by (histone) deacetylases. Alterations in this equilibrium can result in pathological states. Inflammation is a physiological respon ...[more]
