Acetylation of GR. Binding of a corticosteroid to GR results in its acetylation by HAT, such as CBP, and a dimmer of acetylated GR then binds to GRE to activate or suppress genes (such as side effect genes). Deacetylation of GR by HDAC2 is necessary for GR to interact with CBP and inhibit NF-κB to switch off inflammatory genes.
