abstract：:The N-terminal acetylation of Sir3 is essential for heterochromatin establishment and maintenance in yeast, but its mechanism of action is unknown. The crystal structure of the N-terminally acetylated BAH domain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Sir3 bound to the nucleosome core particle reveals that the N-terminal acetylat...
