Abstract
Chromosomal puffing, generally believed to represent gene activation in Drosophila, was induced in the presence of radioactively labeled acetate. There is no preferential uptake of these labeled molecules in regions of gene activation. It is concluded that the acetylation of histones does not play a general role in the regulation of RNA synthesis in Drosophila melanogaster.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
