Histone deacetylases ( HDAC s for short ) are enzymes that change histones . Not only do they directly regulate the transcription of genetic information and epigenetic repression , but they are also involved in controlling the cell cycle and the development of the organism. HDACs are part of larger protein complexes . They occur in all eukaryotes and in humans in all tissue types.

function

HDACs remove acetyl groups from acetylated lysine on the N-terminal histone end . The deacetylation gives the amino acid lysine a positive electrical charge again. This increases the affinity of the histone end for the negatively charged phosphate framework of the DNA . The DNA transcription is downregulated by the subsequent blocking of the DNA for transcription factors . This is usually associated with the formation of primarily inactive heterochromatin .

HDACs play a role in the suppression of cell proliferation induced by the retinoblastoma protein. The retinoblastoma protein is part of a complex that directs HDACs to chromatin in order to deacetylate lysines there.

HDAC classes in higher eukaryotes

The human HDACs are divided into four classes according to sequence and domain relationship to their orthologues in yeast:

  • Class I.
HDAC1
HDAC2
HDAC3
HDAC8
  • Class IIa
HDAC4
HDAC5
HDAC7
HDAC9
  • Class IIb
HDAC6
HDAC10
  • Class III
Homologues of the SIR2 protein of the yeast Saccharomyces cerevisiae , human sirtuins 1-7
  • Class IV
HDAC11

Together with the acetyl polyamine amidohydrolases and the azetoin utilization proteins , the histone deacetylases belong to the histone deacetylase superfamily .

HDAC inhibitors

HDAC inhibitors (e.g. entinostat , vorinostat , mocetinostat ) are being investigated as possible drugs in cancer research. Richon et al were able to demonstrate that HDAC inhibitors can induce CDK inhibitor 1 . The latest research has shown that many cancer cells, including cells from breast, liver and kidney cancer, produce an exceptional amount of HDAC11. Investigations are now going into the extent to which HDAC11 could act as a target structure for new cancer therapies.

As an enhancer of proteasome inhibitors, the HDAC inhibitor panobinostat has been approved in the EU for the treatment of multiple myeloma under certain conditions since 2015 .
