Dimmer Switch for Regulating Cell's Read of DNA Code

Penn researchers have been studying the epigenetics enzyme HDAC3 for several years. They discovered that its activity requires interaction with a specific region on another protein called the Deacetylase Activating Domain. This "nuts and bolts" discovery on the epigenetic control of a person's genome has implications for cancer and neurological treatments.
