    Higher…. histone acetylation removes the positive charge at the N terminus of the histone protein.. this causes means that the affinity of histone with DNA is reduced… Hence, this makes it easier for DNA pol III and other transcription factors to accsess promotor sites to synthesis RNA… which will cause more RNA to be produced….
    Hope that helps
