CRYSTAL STRUCTURE OF INHIBITED HUMAN HDAC8

Overview

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a family of enzymes involved in the, regulation of gene expression, DNA repair, and stress response. These, processes often are altered in tumors, and HDAC inhibitors have had, pronounced antitumor activity with promising results in clinical trials., Here, we report the crystal structure of human HDAC8 in complex with a, hydroxamic acid inhibitor. Such a structure of a eukaryotic zinc-dependent, HDAC has not be described previously. Similar to bacterial HDAC-like, protein, HDAC8 folds in a single alpha/beta domain. The inhibitor and the, zinc-binding sites are similar in both proteins. However, significant, differences are observed in the length and structure of the loops, surrounding the active site, including the presence of two potassium ions, in HDAC8 ... [(full description)]
