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

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.
Journal ArticleDOI

The crystal structure of the quorum sensing protein TraR bound to its autoinducer and target DNA

TL;DR: The crystal structure of TraR, the transcriptional regulator involved in quorum sensing of Agrobacterium tumefaciens, is determined and reveals an asymmetric homodimer, with one monomer longer than the other.
Journal ArticleDOI

A Monovalent Chimpanzee Adenovirus Ebola Vaccine Boosted with MVA

TL;DR: The chimpanzee adenovirus 3 (ChAd3) vaccine boosted with MVA elicited B-cell and T-cell immune responses to ZEBOV that were superior to those induced by the ChAd3 vaccine alone.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structure of recombinant human CPP32 in complex with the tetrapeptide acetyl-Asp-Val-Ala-Asp fluoromethyl ketone.

TL;DR: The cysteine protease CPP32 has been expressed in a soluble form in Escherichia coli and purified to >95% purity, and the overall topology is very similar to that of interleukin-1β-converting enzyme (ICE); however, differences exist at the N terminus of the p17 subunit.
