Which characteristic of chromatin would you expect to see increase when incubated with histone acetyltransferase enzymes?

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Histone acetyltransferase enzymes acetylate the lysine residues on histone proteins, resulting in a more open chromatin structure and increased sensitivity to DNAse I. This allows for greater accessibility of the DNA to transcription factors and other regulatory proteins, which can increase gene expression. Therefore, choice B (sensitivity to DNAse I) is the best choice.
