When Friend erythroleukemic cells are incubated with sodium butyrate,
they differentiate into nondividing, hemoglobin-synthesizing cells.
Butyrate-induced differentiation is accompanied by accumulation of acety-
lated forms of H3 and H4 histones, as can be seen most clearly for H4 in Fig-
ure 4-16A. In principle, butyrate treatment could increase the activity of his-
tone acetyl transferases (HATS) or decrease the activity of histone deacety-
lase complexes (HDACs). To distinguish between these alternatives, HAT
and HDAC activities were measured in the presence and absence of butyrate
(Figure 4-16B and C). From these results decide how butyrate treatment
causes accumulation of acetylated histones.

Introduction : 

Histones are highly alkaline proteins. They are found in the nucleus of the eukaryotic cells. Histones package and order the DNA into structural units called nucleosomes.They act as spools around which the DNA gets coiled and thus a very long strand of DNA can be fit into a much smaller space.
