The modification of a histone by the addition of an acetyl group. The covalent alteration of one or more amino acid residues within a histone protein. Any process that modulates the frequency, rate or extent of the addition of an acetyl group to a histone protein. Any process that stops, prevents or reduces the frequency, rate or extent of the addition of an acetyl group to a histone protein. Any process that activates or increases the frequency, rate or extent of the addition of an acetyl group to a histone protein. The addition of an acyl group, any group or radical of the form RCO- where R is an organic group, to a protein amino acid. The modification of histone H3 by the addition of an acetyl group. The modification of histone H4 by the addition of an acetyl group. The modification of histone H2A by the addition of an acetyl group. The modification of histone H2B by the addition of an acetyl group. The alteration of DNA or protein in chromatin by the covalent addition or removal of chemical groups. The addition of an acetyl group to a protein amino acid. An acetyl group is CH3CO-, derived from acetic [ethanoic] acid. The covalent alteration of one or more amino acids occurring in a protein after the protein has been completely translated and released from the ribosome.
