HDAC6 is a microtubule-associated deacetylase

Abstract: Reversible acetylation of alpha-tubulin has been implicated in regulating microtubule stability and function. The distribution of acetylated alpha-tubulin is tightly controlled and stereotypic. Acetylated alpha-tubulin is most abundant in stable microtubules but is absent from dynamic cellular structures such as neuronal growth cones and the leading edges of fibroblasts. However, the enzymes responsible for regulating tubulin acetylation and deacetylation are not known. Here we report that a member of the hist… Show more

“…Acetylation of a-tubulin, at lysine 40, has been used as a marker of microtubule stability [89]. HDAC6 functions as a specific tubulin deacetylase in vivo, and purified HDAC6 deacetylates a-tubulin in assembled microtubules in vitro [87,88]. HDAC6 overexpression promotes chemotactic cell movement, a cellular function dependent on microtubules.…”

“…Indeed, loss of HDAC6 causes a reduction in cell motility both in NIH/3T3 fibroblasts [4,5] and lymphocytes [24]. HDAC6 may thus be a cellular homeostasis surveillance factor.…”

“…Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6), a cytosolic member of class II HDACs 18 , is responsible for deacetylating both tubulin 19 and tau 16 . Intriguingly, neurons in which HDAC6 were knocked down lose the axonal initial segment (AIS) 20 , a trafficking barrier important for maintaining the polarized localization of axonal proteins, although the mechanism remains unknown.…”
