Activity summary

HDAC1 HDAC2 HDAC3 HDAC4 HDAC5 HDAC6 HDAC11 NCOR2/SMRT HDAC10 HDAC8 Tissue Factor and HDAC9 are histone deacetylases part of the HDAC enzyme family which regulate gene expression by removing acetyl groups from histone proteins. This deacetylation process compacts chromatin structure diminishing transcriptional activity. These enzymes are expressed widely in human tissues and have variable molecular masses such as HDAC1 at roughly 55 kDa. They are critical in controlling cellular functions by modulating chromatin structure and impacting gene expression.

Biological function summary

Histone deacetylases HDAC1 HDAC2 HDAC3 HDAC4 and HDAC5 participate in transcriptional repression when part of larger multiprotein complexes. HDAC9 is another member that shares similar roles. These complexes often include NCOR2/SMRT which acts as a co-repressor. By altering chromatin conformation they play a vital role in development differentiation and cell cycle regulation. Their activity is modulated by HDAC inhibitors like trichostatin A and valproic acid which are used in research and therapeutics for epigenetic modulation.

Pathways

The HDAC family members are central in pathways such as the cell cycle regulation pathway and the Wnt signaling pathway. They interact with proteins like histone acetyltransferases (HATs) balancing acetylation states and controlling gene expression dynamics. In the Wnt pathway changes in acetylation states influence transcriptional outcomes that are vital for developmental processes and oncogenic transformations.

Associated diseases and disorders

HDAC dysfunction is associated with conditions like cancer and neurological disorders. The overexpression or aberrant activity of HDACs influences tumor suppressor genes expression therefore contributing to cancer progression. HDAC inhibitors are explored for cancer therapy targeting both the HDACs and their regulator proteins like the proto-oncogene c-Myc. Additionally HDAC abnormalities relate to neurodegenerative diseases where altered HDAC activity affects neuronal survival and function. Inhibiting HDAC activity therapeutically could restore normal transcriptional activity and cellular function in these diseases.
