Description
General description
Histone deacetylation acts a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Transcription is controlled in part by the dynamic acetylation and deacetylation of histone proteins. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are recruited to specific promoters or chromosomal domains by association with DNA-binding proteins. HDAC4 is a histone deacetylase which deacetylates lysines on the core histones. HDAC4 accumulates in the nuclei of myotubes, suggesting involvement in muscle differentiation. HDAC4 does not bind DNA directly but interacts with the myocyte enhancer factors MEF2A, MEF2C, and MEF2D. HDAC4 also interacts with the breast cancer associated transcriptional repressor PLU-1/JARID1B, the Nr2c1/TR2 nuclear receptor, as well as the 14-3-3 chaperone protein, in a phosphorylation dependent manner.
