Dear Editor,Histone deacetylases(HDACs)are evolutionally conserved enzymes that remove acetyl modifications from histones and play a central role in epigenetic gene silencing.1 Class I HDACs are promising targets for ...

Recent studies on enzymes and reader proteins for histone crotonylation support a function of histone crotonyla- tion in transcription. However, the enzyme(s) responsible for histone decrotonylation (HDCR) remains...
In embryonic stem cells (ESCs), Wnt-responsive development-related genes are silenced to maintain pluripotency and their expression is activated during differentiation. Acetylation of histones by histone acetyltrans...
