Background

HDAC8 (Histone Deacetylase 8) is a member of the class I mammalian histone deacetylases (HDACs) involved in regulating chromatin structure during transcription. These enzymes catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues of histones and other cellular proteins. Lysine N-ε-acetylation is a dynamic, reversible and tightly regulated protein and histone modi cation that plays a major role in regulation of gene expression in various cellular functions. It consists of the transfer of an acetyl moiety from an acetyl coenzyme A to the ε-amino group of a lysine residue.

In vivo, acetylation is controlled by the antagonistic activities of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). The HDACs are grouped into four classes, on the basis of similarity to yeast counterparts: HDAC class I (HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3 and HDAC8), class II (HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, 9 and 10), class III (SIRT1-7) and class IV (HDAC11).

HDAC8 catalyzes the deacetylation of lysine residues in the histone N-terminal tails and represses transcription in large multiprotein complexes with transcriptional co-repressors. It also is involved in the deacetylation of cohesin complex protein SMC3 regulating release of cohesin complexes from chromatin. HDAC8 may play a role in smooth muscle cell contractility.

Application Notes

Recombinant HDAC8 protein is useful for the study of enzyme kinetics, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling.
