HAT enzymes react with the side-chain of lysine to form the following structure. What effect will the HAT enzymes have on histones?

#SCPH05 I Biotechnology
  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 unraveling of histone-DNA structures.

  4. HATS activate histones for interaction with mRNA.
