Journal ArticleDOI

Structures of a histone deacetylase homologue bound to the TSA and SAHA inhibitors.

TL;DR: The structure of the histone deacetylase catalytic core is described, as revealed by the crystal structure of a homologue from the hyperthermophilic bacterium Aquifex aeolicus, and it is established that the residues that make up the active site and contact the inhibitors are conserved across the HDAC family.
Journal ArticleDOI

Ubiquitination of hypoxia-inducible factor requires direct binding to the β-domain of the von Hippel–Lindau protein

TL;DR: It is shown that pVHL, through its β-domain, binds directly to hypoxia-inducible factor (HIF), thereby targeting HIF for ubiquitination in an α-domain-dependent manner, the first function to be ascribed to the pV HL β- domain.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis of DNA recognition by the heterodimeric cell cycle transcription factor E2F–DP

TL;DR: The crystal structure of an E2F4-DP2-DNA complex shows that the DNA-binding domains of the E 2F and DP proteins both have a fold related to the winged-helix DNA- binding motif.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis of the Cks1-dependent recognition of p27(Kip1) by the SCF(Skp2) ubiquitin ligase.

TL;DR: The structure and biochemical data support the proposed model that Cdk2-cyclin A contributes to the recruitment of p27(Kip1) to the SCF(Skp2)-Cks1 complex.
