Other claims from this paper (7)
- Association Histone acetylation of individual lysine residues is removed from the Pepc core promoter in maize before the end of the illumination period.
- Association Deacetylation of the Pepc promoter is accompanied by a decrease in gene activity in maize.
- Association Pharmacological inhibition of histone deacetylation did not prevent transcriptional repression of the Pepc promoter in maize.
- Association Variation of the Pepc promoter activity during the day is controlled by the circadian oscillator and maintained under constant illumination for at least 3 days.
- Association Under constant illumination, light-induced changes in histone acetylation are completely removed from the core promoter.
- Association Acetylation of most sites on upstream promoter elements of the Pepc promoter follows the circadian rhythm in maize.
- Association Induced core promoter acetylation is dispensable for the highest gene expression in the diurnal and circadian rhythm in maize.
