Abstract excerpt
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) catalyze the removal of acetylation marks from lysine residues on histone and nonhistone substrates. Their activity is generally associated with essential cellular processes such as transcriptional repression and heterochromatin formation. Interestingly, abnormal activity of HDACs has been reported in various types of cancers, which makes them a promising therapeutic target for cancer...
