CREPT Disarms the Inhibitory Activity of HDAC1 on Oncogene Expression to Promote Tumorigenesis.

ABSTRACT: Histone deacetylases 1 (HDAC1), an enzyme that functions to remove acetyl molecules from ε-NH3 groups of lysine in histones, eliminates the histone acetylation at the promoter regions of tumor suppressor genes to block their expression during tumorigenesis. However, it remains unclear why HDAC1 fails to impair oncogene expression. Here we report that HDAC1 is unable to occupy at the promoters of oncogenes but maintains its occupancy with the tumor suppressors due to its interaction with CREPT (cell cycle-related and expression-elevated protein in tumor, also named RPRD1B), an oncoprotein highly expressed in tumors. We observed that CREPT competed with HDAC1 for binding to oncogene (such as CCND1, CLDN1, VEGFA, PPARD and BMP4) promoters but not the tumor s
