Chicken hypotensive peptide: purification and characterization.

abstract：:The Sir proteins, namely Sir2, 3 and 4, have roles related to heterochromatin, but genome-wide studies have revealed their presence at many euchromatic loci, although the functional meaning of this is still not clear. Nhp6a is an abundant HMG-like protein in yeast, which has a role in transcription by modulating chrom...
