Histones are subsequently modified again in a way that reflects the activation status of the gene with which they associate.
Histone acetyltransferase is subsequently removed and CAF1 components are substituted, transferring p48 and its histones from the cytoplasm to the nucleus, where histones are assembled into nucleosomes at the DNA replication fork.
Given that WD repeat proteins related to p55 are associated with histone deacetylase and histone acetyltransferase, these findings suggest that p55 and its homologs may function as a common platform for the assembly of protein complexes involved in chromatin metabolism (Martinez-Balbas, 1998).

 Pfam 19.0 : Acetyltransf_1   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
Histone acetylation is carried out by a class of enzymes known as histone acetyltransferases (HATs), which catalyze the transfer of an acetyl group from acetyl-CoA to the lysine E-amino groups on the N-terminal tails of histonesPUBMED:12801725.
Early indication that HATs were involved in transcription came from the observation that in actively transcribed regions of chromatin, histones tend to be hyperacetylated, whereas in transcriptionally silent regions histones are hypoacetylated.
The crystal structure of the yeast histone acetyltransferase Hat1-acetyl coenzyme A (AcCoA) shows that Hat1 has an elongated, curved structure, and the AcCoA molecule is bound in a cleft on the concave surface of the protein, marking the active site of the enzyme.

 Histone methyltransferase - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Histone methyltransferases (HMT) are enzymes, histone-lysine N-methyltransferase and histone-arginine N-methyltransferase, which catalyze the transfer of one to three methyl groups from the cofactor s-adenosylmethionine to lysine and arginine residues of histone proteins.
These proteins often contain an SET (Su(var)3-9, Enhancer of Zeste, Trithorax) domain, however the recently discovered HMT Dot1 lacks the characteristic SET domain.
Methylated histones bind DNA more tightly, which inhibits transcription.
