“…14,110,111 As HDACis potentiate the cytotoxicity of DNA methylation inhibitors (e.g., cisplatin, the anthracyclines, dexamethasone), they may be used together with these inhibitors. [109][110][111] Mammalian and fungal HDACs are substantially homologous and investigators have identified several classes and subclasses of HDACs in fungi (e.g., the class I enzymes RpdA and HosA, the class II enzymes HdaA and HosB). 112 Amongst proteins within the HDAC complex, H3K56ac has a key role in the DNA damage response; this protein may be fungal-specific.…”
