Histone acetyl-transferases (HATs) seem to be key elements in the regulation of transcription. We have designed an enzymatic assay to quantify HAT enzymatic activity. In this assay, the substrate is a peptide corresponding to the 24 first amino acids of histone H4 which is coupled to biotin. After acetylation using [14C]acetyl-CoA, the peptide is purified on streptavidin beads and the associated radioactivity is measured. This assay is sensitive, rapid and convenient.
组蛋白乙酰转移酶(HATs)似乎是转录调控中的关键因素。我们设计了一种酶活性测定方法来定量HAT的酶活性。在该测定中,底物是与生物素偶联的对应于组蛋白H4前24个氨基酸的肽。使用[14C]乙酰辅酶A进行乙酰化后,该肽在链霉亲和素珠上纯化,并测量相关的放射性。该测定方法灵敏、快速且方便。
