Inhibition of Rice Serotonin <i>N</i>-Acetyltransferases by MG149 Decreased Melatonin Synthesis in Rice Seedlings
We examined the effects of two histone acetyltransferase (HAT) inhibitors on the activity of rice serotonin <i>N</i>-acetyltransferases (SNAT). Two rice recombinant SNAT isoenzymes (SNAT1 and SNAT2) were incubated in the presence of either MG149 or MB3, HAT inhibitors. MG149 significantl...
