General Description
Mammalian histone deacetylases (HDACs) can be divided into three classes according to sequence homology. Class I consists of the yeast transcriptional regulatory protein Rpd3-like proteins HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, and HDAC8. Class II consists of the yeast Hda1-like proteins HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, HDAC9 and HDAC10. Class III consists of the yeast sirtuin?2 (Sir2)-like proteins. Although HDAC7 is localized mostly to the cell nucleus, it is also found in the cytoplasm.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Class II histone deacetylases (HDACs) have been implicated in the regulation of muscle differentiation. Interaction of HDAC4, -5, and -7 with members of the myocyte enhancer factor-2 (Mef2) family of transcription factors represses their transcriptional activity and prevents myogenesis. Shuttling of HDAC7 between the cell nucleus and the cytoplasm is controlled by a mechanism involving calmodulin independent kinase I (CaMKI) and 14-3-3 proteins. The HDAC7 enzymatic activity depends on its interaction with the class I HDAC3, and the corepressors silencing mediator of retinoic acid and thyroid hormone receptors (SMRT) and nuclear receptor co-repressor (N-COR). HDAC7 also interacts with the transcriptional repressor B-cell lymphoma 6 (BCL-6).
