HDAC1
Function
Catalyzes the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4) (PubMed:11571273, PubMed:12408863, PubMed:28245922). Histone deacetylation may constitute a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events (PubMed:11571273, PubMed:15306652, PubMed:15545624, PubMed:8955276). For instance, deacetylation of histone H3 may be a prerequisite for the subsequent recruitment of the histone methyltransferase Su(var)3-9 to histones (PubMed:11571273). Involved in position-effect variegation (PEV) (PubMed:11571273). In the larval brain, part of a regulatory network including the transcriptional repressors klu, dpn and E(spl)mgamma-HLH which is required for type II neuroblast self-renewal and for maintaining erm in an inactive state in intermediate neural progenitors (INP) (PubMed:28245922).
