  3. Data indicate that copy number variation (CNV) is regulated by both promoter activity and acetylation of histone H3 lysine 56 (H3K56ac) and that H3K56ac is required for copper-resistance gene CUP1 CNV and efficient copper adaptation.

  5. The induction of CUP1 requires the presence of Ace1p and the binding of Ace1p at the CUP1 promoter during activation provides evidence that Ace1p is directly involved in CUP1 induction.
