Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are among the most promising targets in cancer therapy. However, structural information greatly enhancing the design of HDAC inhibitors as novel chemotherapeutics has not been available on class 2 HDACs so far. Here we present the structure of the bacterial FB188 HDAH (histone deacetylase-like amidohydrolase from Bordetella/Alcaligenes strain FB188) that reveals high sequential and functional homology to human class 2 HDACs ...
