Endogenous expression of inactive lysine deacetylases reveals deacetylation-dependent cellular mechanisms.

ABSTRACT: Acetylation of lysine residues is an important and common post-translational regulatory mechanism occurring on thousands of non-histone proteins. Lysine deacetylases (KDACs or HDACs) are a family of enzymes responsible for removing acetylation. To identify the biological mechanisms regulated by individual KDACs, we created HT1080 cell lines containing chromosomal point mutations, which endogenously express either KDAC6 or KDAC8 having single inactivated catalytic domain. Engineered HT1080 cells expressing inactive KDA6 or KDAC8 domains remained viable and exhibited enhanced acetylation on known substrate proteins. RNA-seq analysis revealed that many changes in gene expression were observed when KDACs were inactivated, and that these gene sets differed significantly from knockdown and knock
