Acetylation of internal lysine residues of core histone N-terminal domains has been found correlatively associated with transcriptional activation in eukaryotes for more than three decades.

Carcinoma of the breast is a leading hormone-dependent malignancy, resulting in a high rate of morbidity and mortality. During the complex multi-step process of tumor promotion, this common cancer is initiated as hormone-responsive (HR), non-metastatic cancer, followed by a gradual transition into a
Histone mRNAs are naturally localized on non-membrane-bound polysomes and selectively destabilized during inhibition of DNA replication. Targeting histone mRNA to membrane-bound polysomes, by incorporating sequences coding for a signal peptide into the message, results in the stabilization of the hi
## Abstract Mucins are highly glycosylated proteins that play important roles in carcinogenesis. In pancreatic neoplasia, MUC2 mucin has been demonstrated as a tumor suppressor and we have reported that MUC2 is a favorable prognostic factor. Regulation of __MUC2__ gene expression is known to be con
