Function

Histone deacetylase that catalyzes the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) (PubMed:28497810). Histone deacetylation gives a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events (By similarity). Histone deacetylases act via the formation of large multiprotein complexes (By similarity). Forms transcriptional repressor complexes by associating with MAD, SIN3, YY1 and N-COR (PubMed:12724404). Component of a RCOR/GFI/KDM1A/HDAC complex that suppresses, via histone deacetylase (HDAC) recruitment, a number of genes implicated in multilineage blood cell development (By similarity). Acts as a component of the histone deacetylase NuRD complex which participates in the remodeling of chromatin (PubMed:16428440, PubMed:28977666). Component of the SIN3B complex that represses transcription and counteracts the histone acetyltransferase activity of EP300 through the recognition H3K27ac marks by PHF12 and the activity of the histone deacetylase HDAC2 (PubMed:37137925). Also deacetylates non-histone targets: deacetylates TSHZ3, thereby regulating its transcriptional repressor activity (PubMed:19343227). May be involved in the transcriptional repression of circadian target genes, such as PER1, mediated by CRY1 through histone deacetylation (By similarity). Involved in MTA1-mediated transcriptional corepression of TFF1 and CDKN1A (PubMed:21965678). In addition to protein deacetylase activity, also acts as a protein-lysine deacylase by recognizing other acyl groups: catalyzes removal of (2E)-butenoyl (crotonyl), lactoyl (lactyl) and 2-hydroxyisobutanoyl (2-hydroxyisobutyryl) acyl groups from lysine residues, leading to protein decrotonylation, delactylation and de-2-hydroxyisobutyrylation, respectively (PubMed:28497810, PubMed:29192674, PubMed:35044827).

Activity summary

HDAC2 or Histone Deacetylase 2 is an important enzyme that plays a role in chromatin remodeling and gene expression regulation. It removes acetyl groups from histone tails allowing chromatin to condense and silencing gene expression. HDAC2 has a molecular weight of approximately 55 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues including brain heart and skeletal muscles indicating its importance in different physiological areas. HDAC2 proteins are often studied using methods like HDAC2 ELISA and HDAC2 anticuero in research settings.

Biological function summary

HDAC2 is involved in cell cycle regulation and differentiation. It is part of the co-repressor complex and interacts with other proteins such as Sin3 and NuRD to repress transcription. These interactions are vital for maintaining normal cellular functions and ensuring proper response to external signals. This protein is also connected to HEK293T cells which are a common model in scientific studies due to their robust expression of proteins like HDAC2.

Pathways

HDAC2 participates in the regulation of transcriptional activity and cellular stress response. It is an important player in the histone modification pathway interacting with proteins such as HDAC1 and transcriptional regulators like REST. HDAC2 is also linked with the Notch signaling pathway which is essential for cell fate decisions. These pathways highlight its role in both maintaining cellular homeostasis and adapting to changes in the cellular environment.

Associated diseases and disorders

HDAC2 has a significant connection to neurodegenerative diseases and various cancers. Alzheimer's disease for instance shows altered expression levels of HDAC2 affecting synaptic plasticity and memory formation. In cancer HDAC2 interacts with oncogenic proteins such as p53 influencing tumor progression and metastasis. Monitoring HDAC2 levels and activity could provide insights into disease mechanisms and potential therapeutic targets.
