H3K56ac profiling in Candida albicans by high throughput sequencing

In C. albicans the sirtuin Hst3p is responsible for removing the acetyl group of the Lys 56 of the H3 histone which is particularly abundant in yeasts and contributes to fungal genome integrity and virulence. Here we identified the H3K56ac patterns across Candida albicans genome in cells maintained for 28 h in YPD at 25°C in the presence or absence of 10 mM nicotinamide (used in this study as Hst3p inhibitor). Chromatin immunoprecipitation was carried out using an anti-H3K56ac antibody, whereas input samples were taken before addition the antibody. Two biological replicates were performed for each condition.
