Journal ArticleDOI

Crystal structure of a eukaryotic zinc-dependent histone deacetylase, human HDAC8, complexed with a hydroxamic acid inhibitor

TL;DR: The crystal structure of human HDAC8 in complex with a hydroxamic acid inhibitor is reported, indicating the importance of this HDAC subtype for tumor cell proliferation and a direct role of potassium in the fold stabilization ofHDAC8.
Journal ArticleDOI

Unraveling the hidden catalytic activity of vertebrate class IIa histone deacetylases.

TL;DR: Evidence is presented supporting the view that vertebrate class IIa HDACs may have evolved to maintain low basal activities on acetyl-lysines and to efficiently process restricted sets of specific, still undiscovered natural substrates.
Journal ArticleDOI

HDACs, histone deacetylation and gene transcription: from molecular biology to cancer therapeutics.

TL;DR: Since these processes are affected by malignant transformation, HDAC inhibitors were developed as antineoplastic drugs and are showing encouraging efficacy in cancer patients.
