Some HDAC inhibitors TSA SAHA/Vorinostat Zolinza Romidepsin Istodax
HDAC inhibitors as drugs HDAC inhibitors: TSA, SAHA, VPA, LBH Cancer, Leukemia, PolyQ disorders (neurodegeneration), Autoimmune and inflammatory diseases, HDACs Deacetylation of histones and various kinds of transcriptional regulators >300 clinical trials (completed or planned) 23.

(H)DAC inhibitors approved as drugs Zolinza (Vorinostat): FDA-approved on 6 Oct. 2006 for cutaneous T cell leukemia (CTCL) MOA: The mechanism of the antineoplastic effect of Vorinostat has not been fully characterized Istodax (Romidepsin): FDA-approved on 6 Nov. 2009 for cutaneous T cell leukemia (CTCL) MOA: The mechanism of the antineoplastic effect of Romidepsin observed in nonclinical and clinical studies has not been fully characterized 23.

We used high-resolution mass spectrometry to identify 3600 lysine acetylation sites on 1750 proteins and quantified acetylation changes in response to the deacetylase inhibitors suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid and MS-275.

Sin3 schematic structure The PAH domains are suggested to be organized into two α-helices separated by a flexible spacer region They are among the most evolutionarily conserved regions of the large SIN3 proteins (100 170 kda) These domains are important for Sin3 function through their independent associations with various repressors and other associated proteins PAH2 is both necessary and sufficient for interaction with the Mad proteins HDAC Interaction Domain Paired Amphipathic Helix (PAH)Domains
