N-acetylglucosamine sensing by a GCN5-related N-acetyltransferase induces transcription via chromatin histone acetylation in fungi

Many fungi are able to metabolise environmental N-acetylglucosamine, however the mechanism by which this molecule is sensed is unclear. Su and Lu et al. show that Candida albicansNGS1 fulfils this function by mediating N-acetylglucosamine-dependent histone acetylation at target genes.
