Transforming growth factor (TGF)-beta1 functions as a tumor suppressor in vivo. Using transgenic mice, we show that hepatic TGF-beta1 overexpression inhibits abundance of the cyclin-dependent kinase activating tyrosine phosphatase cdc25A protein. The reduction in cdc25A protein levels was associated with increased binding of histone deacetylase 1 to p130 in the hepatic extracts. In cultured cells, HDAC1/p130 overexpression inhibited activity of the cdc25A promoter through an E2F site. TGF-beta1 treatment enhanced p130 binding to the cdc25A promoter E2F site assessed in chromatin immunoprecipitation assays. Hepatic proliferation induced by partial hepatectomy was associated with a decrease in the amount of HDAC1 bound to p130, without a significant decrease in p130 abundance, suggesting that HDAC1 binding to p130 may be regulated by proliferative stimuli. The induction of cdc25A abundance induced by partial hepatectomy correlated with the induction of DNA synthesis. These studies suggest that TGF-beta1 may enhance HDAC1 binding to p130 in vivo, thereby inhibiting cdc25A gene expression. TGF-beta1 regulation of HDAC1/pocket protein associations may provide a link between chromatin remodeling proteins and cdk inhibition through induction of cdc25A in vivo.

The Hoxb1 autoregulatory element comprises three HOX-PBX binding sites. Despite the presence of HOXB1 and PBX1, this enhancer fails to activate reporter gene expression in retinoic acid-treated P19 cell monolayers. Activation requires cell aggregation in addition to RA. This suggests that HOX-PBX complexes may repress transcription under some conditions. Consistent with this, multimerized HOX-PBX binding sites repress reporter gene expression in HEK293 cells. We provide a mechanistic basis for repressor function by demonstrating that a corepressor complex, including histone deacetylases (HDACs) 1 and 3, mSIN3B, and N-CoR/SMRT, interacts with PBX1A. We map a site of interaction with HDAC1 to the PBX1 N terminus and show that the PBX partner is required for repression by the HOX-PBX complex. Treatment with the deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A not only relieves repression but also converts the HOX-PBX complex to a net activator of transcription. We show that this activation function is mediated by the recruitment of the coactivator CREB-binding protein by the HOX partner. Interestingly, HOX-PBX complexes are switched from transcriptional repressors to activators in response to protein kinase A signaling or cell aggregation. Together, our results suggest a model whereby the HOX-PBX complex can act as a repressor or activator of transcription via association with corepressors and coactivators. The model implies that cell signaling is a direct determinant of HOX-PBX function in the patterning of the animal embryo.

HDAC1, a member of the histone deacetylase family, is involved in transcription regulation through the modification of chromatin structure. Several studies also implicated HDAC1 in tumorigenesis. Much attention has been concentrated on protein-protein interactions involving HDAC1 and the possibility that posttranslational modifications may occur in mammalian HDAC1 proteins has not been carefully and systematically investigated. In this study, we utilized in vivo labeling assays to demonstrate that both human and murine HDAC1 proteins are phosphorylated in cells. Assays using HDAC1 deletion mutants indicated that phosphorylation occurs in its C-terminal domain. cAMP-dependent kinase and casein kinase II, but not protein kinase C, cdc2, or MAP kinase, could phosphorylate HDAC1 in vitro, although HDAC1 contains several protein kinase C consensus sites. We also found that phosphorylation did not influence HDAC1 enzymatic activity using a human histone H4 N-terminal peptide as the substrate. Interestingly, HDAC1-FLAG fusion protein immunoprecipitated from transfected cells was found to be in association with a kinase activity, providing an in vitro assay for further studies of this posttranslational modification.

Accessibility of the genome to DNA-binding transcription factors is regulated by proteins that control the acetylation of amino-terminal lysine residues on nucleosomal histones. Specifically, histone deacetylase (HDAC) proteins repress transcription by deacetylating histones. To date, the only known regulatory mechanism of HDAC1 function is via interaction with associated proteins. Although the control of HDAC1 function by protein interaction and recruitment is well precedented, we were interested in exploring HDAC1 regulation by post-translational modification. Human HDAC1 protein was analyzed by ion trap mass spectrometry, and two phosphorylated serine residues, Ser(421) and Ser(423), were unambiguously identified. Loss of phosphorylation at Ser(421) and Ser(423) due to mutation to alanine or disruption of the casein kinase 2 consensus sequence directing phosphorylation reduced the enzymatic activity and complex formation of HDAC1. Deletion of the highly charged carboxyl-terminal region of HDAC1 also decreased its deacetylase activity and protein associations, revealing its requirement in maintaining HDAC1 function. Our results reinforce the importance of protein associations in modulating HDAC1 function and provide the first step toward characterizing the role of post-translational modifications in regulating HDAC activity in vivo.

Hypertrophy occurs in postmitotic muscle as an adaptive response to various physiological and pathological stresses. Studies in vascular smooth muscle cells and primary cardiomyocytes suggest that angiotensin II-mediated hypertrophy activates signaling pathways associated with cell proliferation. Regulation of cyclin-dependent kinase (Cdk)-cyclin activities is essential to cell size control in lower eukaryotes, yet their role in the hypertrophic response in muscle is incompletely understood. We describe an in vitro model of hypertrophy in C2C12 skeletal myoblasts and demonstrate that induction of hypertrophy involves transient activation of Cdk4, subsequent phosphorylation of Rb, and release of HDAC1 from the Rb inhibitory complex. We also demonstrate that E2F-1 becomes transcriptionally active yet remains associated with Rb. We propose a model whereby partial inactivation of the Rb complex leads to derepression of a subset of E2F-1 targets necessary for cell growth without division during hypertrophy.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) modulate chromatin structure and transcription, but little is known about their function in mammalian development. HDAC1 was implicated previously in the repression of genes required for cell proliferation and differentiation. Here we show that targeted disruption of both HDAC1 alleles results in embryonic lethality before E10.5 due to severe proliferation defects and retardation in development. HDAC1-deficient embryonic stem cells show reduced proliferation rates, which correlate with decreased cyclin-associated kinase activities and elevated levels of the cyclin-dependent kinase inhibitors p21(WAF1/CIP1) and p27(KIP1). Similarly, expression of p21 and p27 is up-regulated in HDAC1-null embryos. In addition, loss of HDAC1 leads to significantly reduced overall deacetylase activity, hyperacetylation of a subset of histones H3 and H4 and concomitant changes in other histone modifications. The expression of HDAC2 and HDAC3 is induced in HDAC1-deficient cells, but cannot compensate for loss of the enzyme, suggesting a unique function for HDAC1. Our study provides the first evidence that a histone deacetylase is essential for unrestricted cell proliferation by repressing the expression of selective cell cycle inhibitors.

Histone deacetylase 2 (HDAC2) is a member of a large family of enzymes that alter gene expression by catalyzing the removal of acetyl groups from core histones. Originally isolated as a transcriptional co-repressor, HDAC2 possesses extensive amino acid sequence homology to HDAC1 (the founding member and most extensively studied HDAC enzyme). Because of this high degree of sequence similarity between HDAC1 and HDAC2, coupled with the fact that the two always co-exist in the same complexes, it is difficult to assess whether different properties exist between these two proteins. We report here that HDAC2 is a phosphoprotein similar to HDAC1. In addition, like HDAC1, the phospho-acceptor sites in HDAC2 are located in the C-terminal portion of the protein. However, unlike HDAC1, which can be phosphorylated by protein kinase CK2, cAMP-dependent protein kinase, and protein kinase G, HDAC2 is phosphorylated uniquely by protein kinase CK2 in vitro. Studies using unfractionated cell extracts with CK2 inhibitors suggest that protein kinase CK2 is the major source of HDAC2 kinase. Finally, and perhaps most interesting, HDAC2 phosphorylation promotes enzymatic activity, selectively regulates complex formation, but has no effect on transcriptional repression. Together, our data indicate that like many HDACs, HDAC2 is regulated by post-translational modification, particularly phosphorylation. Furthermore, we demonstrate for the first time that there are similarities and differences in the regulation of HDAC1 and HDAC2 by phosphorylation.

The second messenger cAMP stimulates transcription with burst-attenuation kinetics that mirror the PKA-dependent phosphorylation and subsequent protein phosphatase 1 (PP1)-mediated dephosphorylation of the cAMP responsive element binding protein (CREB) at Ser133. Phosphorylation of Ser133 promotes recruitment of the co-activator histone acetylase (HAT) paralogs CBP and P300, which in turn stimulate acetylation of promoter-bound histones during the burst phase. Remarkably, histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors seem to potentiate CREB activity by prolonging Ser133 phosphorylation in response to cAMP stimulus, suggesting a potential role for HDAC complexes in silencing CREB activity. Here we show that HDAC1 associates with and blocks Ser133 phosphorylation of CREB during pre-stimulus and attenuation phases of the cAMP response. HDAC1 promotes Ser133 dephosphorylation via a stable interaction with PP1, which we detected in co-immunoprecipitation and co-purification studies. These results illustrate a novel mechanism by which signaling and chromatin-modifying activities act coordinately to repress the activity of a phosphorylation-dependent activator.

This article reviews the effects of the short-chain fatty acid butyrate on histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity. Sodium butyrate has multiple effects on cultured mammalian cells that include inhibition of proliferation, induction of differentiation and induction or repression of gene expression. The observation that butyrate treatment of cells results in histone hyperacetylation initiated a flurry of activity that led to the discovery that butyrate inhibits HDAC activity. Butyrate has been an essential agent for determining the role of histone acetylation in chromatin structure and function. Interestingly, inhibition of HDAC activity affects the expression of only 2% of mammalian genes. Promoters of butyrate-responsive genes have butyrate response elements, and the action of butyrate is often mediated through Sp1/Sp3 binding sites (e.g., p21(Waf1/Cip1)). We demonstrated that Sp1 and Sp3 recruit HDAC1 and HDAC2, with the latter being phosphorylated by protein kinase CK2. A model is proposed in which inhibition of Sp1/Sp3-associated HDAC activity leads to histone hyperacetylation and transcriptional activation of the p21(Waf1/Cip1) gene; p21(Waf1/Cip1) inhibits cyclin-dependent kinase 2 activity and thereby arrests cell cycling. Pending the cell background, the nonproliferating cells may enter differentiation or apoptotic pathways. The potential of butyrate and HDAC inhibitors in the prevention and treatment of cancer is presented.

An earlier report showed that the expression of viral genes by a herpes simplex virus 1 mutant [HSV-1(vCPc0)] in which the wild-type, spliced gene encoding infected-cell protein no. 0 (ICP0) was replaced by a cDNA copy is dependent on both the cell type and multiplicity of infection. At low multiplicities of infection, viral gene expression in rabbit skin cells was delayed by many hours, although ultimately virus yield was comparable to that of the wild-type virus. This defect was rescued by replacement of the cDNA copy with the wild-type gene. To test the hypothesis that the delay reflected a dysfunction of ICP0 in altering the structure of host protein-viral DNA complexes, we examined the state of histone deacetylases (HDACs) (HDAC1, HDAC2, and HDAC3). We report the following. (i) HDAC1 and HDAC2, but not HDAC3, were modified in infected cells. The modification was mediated by the viral protein kinase U(S)3 and occurred between 3 and 6 h after infection with wild-type virus but was delayed in rabbit skin cells infected with HSV-1(vCPc0) mutant, concordant with a delay in the expression of viral genes. (ii) Pretreatment of rabbit skin cells with inhibitors of HDAC activity (e.g., sodium butyrate, Helminthosporium carbonum toxin, or trichostatin A) accelerated the expression of HSV-1(vCPc0) but not that of wild-type virus. We conclude the following. (i) In the interval in which HSV-1(vCPc0) DNA is silent, its DNA is in chromatin-like structures amenable to modification by inhibitors of histone deacetylases. (ii) Expression of wild-type virus genes in these cells precluded the formation of DNA-protein structures that would be affected by either the HDACs or their inhibitors. (iii) Since the defect in HSV-1(vCPc0) maps to ICP0, the results suggest that this protein initiates the process of divestiture of viral DNA from tight chromatin structures but could be replaced by other viral proteins in cells infected with a large number of virions.
