Metabolic Homeostasis: HDACs Take Center Stage
نویسندگان
چکیده
Hormonal regulation of glucose and lipid metabolism is pivotal for metabolic homeostasis and energy balance. Two studies in this issue of Cell (Mihaylova et al., 2011 and Wang et al., 2011) introduce a new conserved signaling mechanism controlling catabolic gene expression: class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) regulate Foxo activity in Drosophila and mice.

Class IIa Histone Deacetylases Are Hormone-Activated Regulators of FOXO and Mammalian Glucose Homeostasis
Class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) are signal-dependent modulators of transcription with established roles in muscle differentiation and neuronal survival. We show here that in liver, class IIa HDACs (HDAC4, 5, and 7) are phosphorylated and excluded from the nucleus by AMPK family kinases. In response to the fasting hormone glucagon, class IIa HDACs are rapidly dephosphorylated and transloc...
متن کاملChemical and structural biology of protein lysine deacetylases
Histone acetylation is a reversible posttranslational modification that plays a fundamental role in regulating eukaryotic gene expression and chromatin structure/function. Key enzymes for removing acetyl groups from histones are metal (zinc)-dependent and NAD+-dependent histone deacetylases (HDACs). The molecular function of HDACs have been extensively characterized by various approaches includ...
متن کاملHistone deacetylases 1 and 2 regulate autophagy flux and skeletal muscle homeostasis in mice.
Maintenance of skeletal muscle structure and function requires efficient and precise metabolic control. Autophagy plays a key role in metabolic homeostasis of diverse tissues by recycling cellular constituents, particularly under conditions of caloric restriction, thereby normalizing cellular metabolism. Here we show that histone deacetylases (HDACs) 1 and 2 control skeletal muscle homeostasis ...
متن کاملThe cross talk between microbiota and the immune system: metabolites take center stage.
The human meta-organism consists of more than 90% of microbial cells. The gastrointestinal tract harbors trillions of commensal microorganisms that influence the development and homeostasis of the host. Alterations in composition and function of the microbiota, termed dysbiosis, have been implicated in a multitude of metabolic and inflammatory diseases in humans. Thus, understanding the molecul...
