TheinformationprocessingpathwayattheIFNbetaenhancer

The packaging of eukaryotic DNA into nucleosomes inhibits the access of factors to DNA and results in the repression of transcription, replication and recombination. Local modification of histones on enhancers and promoters is required to activate gene expression. The transcription factors that bind to nucleosome-free regions of DNA or to DNA within nucleosomes recruit two types of enzymatic activities that modify th......阅读全文
