A miniaturized readout strategy for endogenous histone deacetylase activity†
Abstract
Histone deacetylases are important drug targets, which are difficult to characterize due to their poor accessibility. We have developed a miniaturized assay for the multi-site readout of deacetylase activity and profiled the substrate selectivity of HDACs for acetylation sites on histone H4 and tumor suppressor protein p53.
