Abstract

The critical steps of the cell cycle are generally controlled through the transcriptional regulation of specific subsets of genes. Transcriptional regulation has been recently linked to acetylation or deacetylation of core histone tails: acetylated histone tails are generally associated with active chromatin, whereas deacetylated histone tails are associated with silent parts of the genome. A number of transcriptional co-regulators are histone acetyl-transferases or histone deacetylases. Here, we discuss some of the critical cell cycle steps in which these enzymes are involved.
