“…Several studies have demonstrated that the acetylation of nucleosomes promotes ORC binding, active origin selection and early replication initiation during S phase (Aggarwal and Calvi, 2004;Danis et al, 2004;Hartl et al, 2007;Kim et al, 2011;Pappas et al, 2004;Schwaiger et al, 2009;Vogelauer et al, 2002). Moreover, a number of specific histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been shown to influence origin activity (Aggarwal and Calvi, 2004;Doyon et al, 2006;Espinosa et al, 2010;Iizuka et al, 2006;Iizuka and Stillman, 1999;Karmakar et al, 2010;Miotto and Struhl, 2008;Miotto and Struhl, 2010;Pappas et al, 2004;Vogelauer et al, 2002;Wong et al, 2010). Nevertheless, how different HATs and HDACS regulate origins in concert with development remains poorly understood.…”
