{c}

A <plant> <histone> deacetylase participating in <chromatin> silencing, including <nucleolar dominance>.

Removal of acetyl groups can alter <histone> interactions and recruitment of chromatin-associated factors. Its association with silencing should be interpreted at the specified loci and developmental stage rather than as a universal consequence of every <histone> deacetylation event. <Molecular Biology of the Cell, 4th edition by Bruce Alberts and others>[Chapters 4–7, chromatin, replication and gene regulation]{ref}
