Acetylation is a common post-translational modification of lysine. The conserved amino-terminal domains of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3, and H4) contain lysines that are acetylated by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) & deacetylated by histone deacetylases (HDACs). Posttranslational acetylation and deacetylation of lysine have been recognized as intracellular signals that are critical in regulating gene transcription, cell cycle progression, apoptosis, DNA repair & cytoskeletal organization. Regulation of protein acetylation is impaired in some cancers & polyglutamine diseases, and HDACs are promising targets for anti-cancer drugs currently under investigation. Recombinant human growth hormone produced in E. coli is a single, nonglycosylated polypeptide chain containing 192 amino acids with a molecular mass of 22,260 daltons. This product has full biological activity.
