Targeting Lysine Deacetylases (KDACs) in Parasites
Due to an increasing problem of drug resistance among almost all parasites species ranging from protists to worms, there is an urgent need to explore new drug targets and their inhibitors to provide new and effective parasitic therapeutics. In this regard, there is growing interest in exploring known drug leads of human epigenetic enzymes as potential starting points to develop novel treatments...
متن کاملSubstrate Recognition and Specificity of Chitin Deacetylases and Related Family 4 Carbohydrate Esterases
Carbohydrate esterases family 4 (CE4 enzymes) includes chitin and peptidoglycan deacetylases, acetylxylan esterases, and poly-N-acetylglucosamine deacetylases that act on structural polysaccharides, altering their physicochemical properties, and participating in diverse biological functions. Chitin and peptidoglycan deacetylases are not only involved in cell wall morphogenesis and remodeling in...
متن کاملRegulation of Fungal Drug Resistance and Morphogenesis by Lysine Deacetylases
Hsp90 is a molecular chaperone that governs drug resistance, morphogenesis, and virulence in the leading human fungal pathogen Candida albicans. Previous work with Saccharomyces cerevisiae and C. albicans established acetylation as a novel mechanism of post-translational control of Hsp90 in fungi and implicated lysine deacetylases (KDACs) as key regulators of resistance to the most common class...
متن کاملChemical and structural biology of protein lysine deacetylases
Histone acetylation is a reversible posttranslational modification that plays a fundamental role in regulating eukaryotic gene expression and chromatin structure/function. Key enzymes for removing acetyl groups from histones are metal (zinc)-dependent and NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases (HDACs). The molecular function of HDACs have been extensively characterized by various approaches includ...
متن کاملImmunochemical specificity in lysine-rich histone subfractions.
Antibodies to purified calf thymus Fl, and to chromatographically purified subfractions of calf thymus Fl histones were induced by immunization of rabbits with histone-RNA complexes. Complement fixation studies with these antibodies demonstrated structural differences between the subfractions in one organ and between those of different organs and species. The anti-F1 sera showed varying reactiv...
