Figure 6. The HAT activity of CBP/p300 is important for histone gene transcription.

Figure 6

(A) HAT activity of ectopically expressed p300. Plasmids pCMV-p300HA which encodes HA-tagged p300 or pcDNA3.1-p300HAT- which encodes p300 (HAT-) mutant were transfected into HeLa (left panels) or 293T cells (right panels). Western-blot was employed to determine protein expression and the HAT activity. (B) Histone H2B and H4 transcription was enhanced by p300HA but not p300 (HAT-). nā€Š=ā€Š4. (C) p300 (HAT-) mutant was unable to rescue the down-regulation of H2B transcription resulted from CBP knockdown. HeLa cells were co-transfected with siRNA and plasmid DNA as indicated. 48 hours after transfection, cells were harvested for RT-real time qPCR. Comparison between column 2 and 3 was analyzed with unpaired t test. nā€Š=ā€Š4.
