Thank you for the comment. We realized that the paper is not associated with the search term "Gcn5" in Pubmed, hence I posted this comment. I had hoped that if the term appears in the comments it would appear in the search results, but it doesn't, as you pointed out correctly. While personally I'm all for "rationalizing" gene names, since today most genes are associated with a lot more functions than the name would suggest, I think databases should be able to deal with synonyms, i.e. Pubmed should show results for Gcn5 when Kat2a was searched and vice versa. It works well in the NCBI Gene database, so why not in Pubmed?

A good example of the unintended consequences of "rationalizing" gene names - rendering opaque almost 30 years of literature! Note that if one searches Pubmed for "Gcn5," this paper does not appear among the hits.

For clarification of this abstract, it may be worth noting that K-Lysine acetyltransferase 2a (Kat2a) is more widely known by its former name General control of amino-acid synthesis 5 (Gcn5) or General control of amino-acid synthesis 5 like 2 (Gcn5l2). http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/gene/14534
