A HATS enzymes reacts with the side-chain of lysine to form the following structure: What effect will the HATS enzymes have on histones?

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology
  1. No effect, since histones contain few lysine residues.

  2. HATS will increase the affinity of histones for DNA.

  3. HATS will allow for easier unravelling of histone-DNA structures.

  4. HATS activate histones for interaction with mRNA.
