Evidence for torsional stress in transcriptionally activated chromatin.

abstract：:The apoptotic process is accompanied by major changes in chromatin structure and gene expression. The apoptotic genetic program is progressively set up with the inhibition of antiapoptotic genes and the activation of proapoptotic ones. Here, we show that the histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC-3), which is a known co-represso...
