Background
HDAC2 (Histone Deacetylase 2, also designated mammalian RPD3) is a member of the class I mammalian histone deacetylases (HDACs) involved in regulating chromatin structure during transcription. These enzymes catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues of histones and other cellular proteins. Lysine N-e-acetylation is a dynamic, reversible and tightly regulated protein and histone modification that plays a major role in regulation of gene expression in various cellular functions. It consists of the transfer of an acetyl moiety from an acetyl coenzyme A to the e-amino group of a lysine residue. In vivo, acetylation is controlled by the antagonistic activities of histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). The HDACs are grouped into four classes, on the basis of similarity to yeast counterparts: HDAC class I (HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3 and HDAC8), class II (HDAC4, HDAC5, HDAC6, HDAC7, 9 and 10), class III (SIRT1-7) and class IV (HDAC11). HDAC2 is associated with many different proteins as YY1 (a mammalian zinc-finger transcription factor). HDAC2 also forms transcriptional repressor complexes containing, among others, HDAC1 or RBBP4. HDAC1, HDAC2 and HDAC3 are also ubiquitously expressed and can deacetylate both H3 and H4 in free histones or nucleosome substrate.
Application Notes
Recombinant HDAC2 is suitable for the study of enzyme kinetics, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling. Active Motif offers a variety of protein screening tools including HDAC Assay Kits. HDAC Activity Assay Conditions:1 uM H3K9ac peptide was incubated with different concentrations of HDAC2 protein in 10 ul reaction system containing 25 mM Tris-HCl pH 8.0, 137 mM NaCl, 2.7 mM KCl, 1 mM MgCl2, 0.1 mg/ml BSA for 30 min at 37°C, then 10 ul anti-H3K9me0 antibody and SA-XL665 mixture (1:100 dilution in HTRF Detection Buffer) was added to each reaction system and incubated for 1 h at room temperature. HTRF assay was used for detection.
Protein Details
Recombinant human HDAC2 was expressed in Sf9 cells as the full length protein (accession number NP_001518.3) with a C-terminal FLAG-Tag. The molecular weight of the protein is 60 kDa. The recombinant protein is > 45% pure by SDS-PAGE.
Storage
Recombinant proteins in solution are temperature sensitive and must be stored at -80°C to prevent degradation. Avoid repeated freeze/thaw cycles and keep on ice when not in storage.
