Histone Deacetylase: A Regulator of Transcription [PDF]
Histones are DNA binding proteins that bind without regard to the sequence of the DNA and help determine the three-dimensional organization of the chromatin into chromosomes. A paper in this week's issue (Taunton et al ., p.

New histone deacetylase inhibitors as potential therapeutic tools for advanced prostate carcinoma
The anti-epileptic drug valproic acid is also under trial as an anti-cancer agent due to its histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitory properties. However, the effects of valproic acid (VPA) are limited and concentrations required for exerting anti ...

Role of Histone Deacetylase 6 and Histone Deacetylase 6 Inhibition in Colorectal Cancer
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), by deacetylation of multiple substrates and association with interacting proteins, regulates many physiological processes that are involved in cancer development and invasiveness such as cell proliferation, apoptosis ...

New clinical developments in histone deacetylase inhibitors for epigenetic therapy of cancer
DNA methylation and histone acetylation are two well known epigenetic chromatin modifications. Epigenetic agents leading to DNA hypomethylation and histone hyperacetylation have been approved for treatment of hematological disorders.

Diverse nucleosome Site-Selectivity among histone deacetylase complexes
Histone acetylation regulates chromatin structure and gene expression and is removed by histone deacetylases (HDACs). HDACs are commonly found in various protein complexes to confer distinct cellular functions, but how the multi-subunit complexes ...
