Crystal Structure of Human HDAC8 Inhibitor Complex, an Amino Acid Derived InhibitorCrystal Structure of Human HDAC8 Inhibitor Complex, an Amino Acid Derived Inhibitor
Structural highlights
Function[HDAC8_HUMAN] Responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone deacetylation gives a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes. May play a role in smooth muscle cell contractility.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedHerein we report the discovery of a family of novel yet simple, amino-acid derived class I HDAC inhibitors that demonstrate isoform selectivity via access to the internal acetate release channel. Isoform selectivity criteria is discussed on the basis of X-ray crystallography and molecular modeling of these novel inhibitors bound to HDAC8, potentially revealing insights into the mechanism of enzymatic function through novel structural features revealed at the atomic level. Human HDAC isoform selectivity achieved via exploitation of the acetate release channel with structurally unique small molecule inhibitors.,Whitehead L, Dobler MR, Radetich B, Zhu Y, Atadja PW, Claiborne T, Grob JE, McRiner A, Pancost MR, Patnaik A, Shao W, Shultz M, Tichkule R, Tommasi RA, Vash B, Wang P, Stams T Bioorg Med Chem. 2011 Aug 1;19(15):4626-34.
