Abstract

The invention provides for a method for screening compounds that bind to and modulate a histone acetyltransferase protein. The invention further provides methods for treating neurodegenerative disorders, conditions associated with accumulated amyloid-beta peptide deposits, Tau protein levels, and/or accumulations of alpha-synuclein as well as cancer by administering a HAT-activating compound to a subject.
