Abstract excerpt
Valproic acid (VPA) is widely used as a eutherapeutic and safe anticonvulsant drug, but the mechanism is not well elucidated. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) were first identified as direct targets of VPA. Many loss-of function mutants in S. pombe have been shown to be VPA sensitive but not sensitive to other HDAC inhibitors, such as sodium butyrate or trichostatin A (TSA). This difference suggests that there are...
