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

#Unit 2. Cellular Organization
  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.
