Binding of histone deacetylases to the promoters of genes leads to activation of transcription from that promoter.

Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Binding of histone deacetylases (HDACs) to the promoters of genes leads to repression of transcription from that promoter, as HDACs remove acetyl groups from histones, causing them to become more compact and less accessible to transcription factors. This creates a repressive chromatin environment that turns down gene expression.
