Histone acetyltransferases (HATs) have critical roles in cellular functions and are involved in the regulation of gene transcription, differentiation, and proliferation. The HAT Activity Colorimetric Assay Kit offers a convenient, non-radioactive system for a rapid and sensitive detection of HAT activity in mammalian samples. The kit includes an active Nuclear Extract (NE) to be used as a positive control, HAT cofactor, acetyl-CoA, and all downstream cofactors and substrates. Acetylation of a peptide substrate by active HAT releases the free form of CoA, which then serves as an essential coenzyme for producing NADH. NADH can easily be detected spectrophotometrically upon reacting with a soluble tetrazolium dye. The detection can be continuous, and therefore, is suitable for kinetic studies. The kit provides all reagents and a simple, straightforward protocol for a complete assay.

Follicular lymphoma (FL) constitutes the second most common non-Hodgkin lymphoma in the western world. FL carries characteristic recurrent structural genomic aberrations. However, information regarding the coding genome in FL is still evolving. Here, we describe the results of massively parallel

Several epidemiological studies have suggested that the perturbation of circadian rhythm has adverse metabolic consequences (e.g., dyslipidemia) in humans. At the molecular level, circadian rhythms are encoded by an autoregulatory loop composed of a set of transcription activators (BMAL1/CLOCK) that

Cardiovascular function exhibits circadian oscillation. Furthermore, the onset time and severity of cardiovascular diseases exhibit diurnal variation. The internal circadian clock whose center exists in the suprachiasmatic nucleus regulates this circadian variation. Many studies have reported that night shift workers
While mammalian mitochondria are known to possess a robust base excision repair system, direct evidence for the existence of additional mitochondrial DNA repair pathways is elusive. Herein a PCR-based assay was employed to demonstrate that plasmids containing DNA-protein crosslinks are

IgE-mediated immediate-type allergic reactions in the skin show a diurnal rhythm, although the regulatory mechanisms are poorly understood. In mammals, the circadian rhythms are driven by the circadian clock system consisting of the light-entrained central clock located in the suprachiasmatic
