Nuclear translocation of histone deacetylase 4 induces neuronal death in stroke
Mounting evidence suggests that epigenetic modifications play critical roles in the survival/death of stressed neurons. Chief among these modifications is the deacetylation of histones within the chromatin by histone deacetylases (HDACs). HDAC4 is highly

Histone deacetylase HDA-4-mediated epigenetic regulation in space-flown C. elegans [PDF]
Epigenetic changes during long-term spaceflight are beginning to be studied by NASA’s twin astronauts and other model organisms. Here, we evaluate the epigenetic regulation of gene expression in space-flown C.

Histone deacetylase 4 reverses cellular senescence via DDIT4 in dermal fibroblasts. [PDF]
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) remove acetyl groups from lysine chains on histones and other proteins and play a crucial role in epigenetic regulation and aging. Previously, we demonstrated that HDAC4 is consistently downregulated in aged and ultraviolet (UV)-irradiated human skin in vivo.

Histone deacetylase 4 inhibits NF-κB activation by facilitating IκBα sumoylation. [PDF]
Abstract Protein modification by small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) is an important regulatory mechanism for multiple cellular processes. Although the canonical pathway involving the ubiquitylation or phosphorylation of IκBα has been well characterized, little is known about the sumoylation of IκBα in the control of NF-κB activity ...

Resveratrol affects hepatic gluconeogenesis via histone deacetylase 4. [PDF]
The aim of this study was to determine whether resveratrol (Rev) affects the expression, phosphorylation, and nuclear and cytoplasmic distribution of histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4), which in turn affects gluconeogenesis in hepatocytes under an insulin-resistant state.HepG2 cells were treated with 0.25 mmol/L palmitic acid (PA) to establish an insulin ...

Genome-Wide Studies of Histone Demethylation Catalysed by the Fission Yeast Homologues of Mammalian LSD1 [PDF]
In order to gain a more global view of the activity of histone demethylases, we report here genome-wide studies of the fission yeast SWIRM and polyamine oxidase (PAO) domain homologues of mammalian LSD1. Consistent with previous work we find that the two

Stroke Induces Nuclear Shuttling of Histone Deacetylase 4. [PDF]
Background and Purpose— Histone deacetylases (HDACs) 4 and 5 are abundantly expressed in the brain and have been implicated in the regulation of neurodegeneration. Under physiological conditions, HDACs 4 and 5 are expressed in the cytoplasm of brain cells where they cannot directly access chromatin.

Histone Deacetylase 4 Controls Chondrocyte Hypertrophy during Skeletogenesis [PDF]
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) modulate cell growth and differentiation by governing chromatin structure and repressing the activity of specific transcription factors. We showed previously that HDAC9 acts as a negative regulator of cardiomyocyte hypertrophy and skeletal muscle differentiation.

Histone Deacetylase 5 Acquires Calcium/Calmodulin-Dependent Kinase II Responsiveness by Oligomerization with Histone Deacetylase 4 [PDF]
Calcium/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II (CaMKII) phosphorylates histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4), a class IIa HDAC, resulting in the cytosolic accumulation of HDAC4 and the derepression of the transcription factor myocyte enhancer factor 2. Phosphorylation by CaMKII requires docking of the kinase to a specific domain of HDAC4 not present in other ...
