histone deacetylase
Classification:
- 3 classes of histone deacetylases:
a) class 1: homologous to yeast Rpd3 includes HDAC-1,2,3,8
b) class 2: homologous to yeast Hda1 includes HDAC-4,5,6,7,9
c) class 3: homologous to yeast & mouse Sir2 includes SIRT-1,2,3,4,5,6,7
Function:
- gives a tag for epigenetic repression
- plays a role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression & developmental events
- histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes
- primarily involved in transcription repression through compaction of chromatin by removal of acetyl groups from Lys & exposing positive charge
...Lys-NH-Ac -> ...Lys-NH3+
- histone deacetylases have targets other than histones, including p53, E2F, GATA1, TFIIE & TFIIF
Inhibition:
- inhibited by trichostatin A (TSA), butyrate, trapoxin
