Acetylation Rate Increases Proto Oncogenes Lead Cancer Histones Binding

Acetylation of proto-oncogene histones increases transcriptional factor and RNA polymerase binding, boosting transcription and translation rates, resulting in excess protein production and uncontrolled cell division, leading to cancer.

- acetylation of histones - more binding of transcriptional factors to promoter - RNA polymerase stimulated to transcribe gene - rate of transcription increases - rate of translation increases - more protein produced - uncontrolled cell division occurs
