Histone acetylation in the kidney of the adrenalectomized rat was increased 5 min after a physiological dose of aldosterone. The increase was exclusively in the histone F2a1. The increase in histone acetylation was given by 9alpha-fluorocortisol, deoxycorticosterone and cortisol, but not by progesterone. The increase in histone acetylation was abolished by prior treatment of the animals with the anti-mineralocorticoid agent, SC14266 [potassium 3-(3-oxo-17beta-hydroxy-4,6-androstadien-17-yl) propionate]; the basal degree of histone acetylation was unaffected. Pretreatment of the animals with actinomycin D or cyclo-heximide did not affect the stimulation, showing the stimulation was not due to increased synthesis of enzyme.
