Histone acetylation and deacetylation are the processes by which the lysine residues within the N-terminal tail protruding from the histone core of the nucleosome are acetylated and deacetylated as part of gene regulation.

Deacetylation refers to the process of eliminating the acetyl groups attached to chitin and the substitution of reactive amino groups. The degree of deacetylation determines the percent of free amino groups within the structure and would therefore be …

Dec 5, 2018 · This review discusses the structural prerequisites that enzymes must have to catalyze the deacetylation reaction, and how they adapted by formation of specific substrate and metal binding sites.

Using liver cancer cells, acetylation of K323 at PGK1 upregulates its activity and enhances its proliferative capacity (138). The deacetylation of certain proteins is also very important in the occurrence of cancer.

This review discusses how acetylation and deacetylation regulate various signalling pathways, transcription factors and metabolic enzymes to understand how the protein acetylation affects metabolic reprogramming in tumour cells.

Lysine acetylation and deacetylation are posttranslational modifications that are able to link extracellular signals to intracellular responses. A wealth of evidence indicates that lysine acetylation and deacetylation are critical for brain development and functionality.

Both enzymes are postulated to catalyze deacetylation of their substrates [17–19], further strengthening the evolutionary and functional link between these proteins and HDACs.

Deacetylation is defined as the process involving the breakdown of AChEa to produce free AChE and acetate, with the participation of acidic and basic groups in both protonated and unprotonated stages.

Deacetylation is the covalent chemical or post-translational biochemical removal of an acetyl group (s) from organic compounds.

Oct 6, 2020 · Protein deacetylation is the reverse reaction of acetylation that is catalyzed by lysine deacetylases (KDACs), which consist of two protein families, namely, classical Zn 2+ -dependent histone deacetylases (HDACs) and NAD + -dependent sirtuins (Table 1; Narita et al., 2019).
