Abstract

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are thought to function as critical mediators of transcriptional repression. However, the physiological targets and posttranslational modifications of the class II HDACs are largely unknown. Here we show that the C terminus of HDAC 6 is both necessary and sufficient for specific association with polyubiquitin. This region contains a putative zinc finger but lacks significant similarity to other known ubiquitin binding domains. Thus, we have designated this region as a PAZ domain, for P olyubiquitin A ssociated Z inc finger. Although the PAZ domain possesses homology with the zinc finger of deubiquitinating enzymes, it is dispensable for the deubiquitinating activity we find associated with HDAC6 following immunopurification. We also show that both HDAC 5 and HDAC 6 are ubiquitinated in vitro and in vivo . However, both of these proteins are stable in vivo and do not appear to be targeted for rapid degradation by the proteasome. Thus, HDAC6 is linked to the ubiquitin system via ubiquitin conjugation, polyubiquitin binding, and copurification with deubiquitinating enzymes.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
