DESCRIPTION

Also known as HDAC9_HUMAN, HDAC9, HDAC7, HDAC7B, HDRP, KIAA0744, MITR. Responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone deacetylation gives a tag for epigenetic repression and plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression and developmental events. Represses MEF2-dependent transcription., Isoform 3 lacks active site residues and therefore is catalytically inactive. Represses MEF2-dependent transcription by recruiting HDAC1 and/or HDAC3. Seems to inhibit skeletal myogenesis and to be involved in heart development. Protects neurons from apoptosis, both by inhibiting JUN phosphorylation by MAPK10 and by repressing JUN transcription via HDAC1 recruitment to JUN promoter. Homodimer. Interacts with CTBP1. The phosphorylated form interacts with 14-3-3 (By similarity). Interacts with HDAC1 and HDAC3, and probably with HDAC4 and HDAC5. Interacts with MEF2, MAPK10, ETV6, NCOR1 and BCL6. Interacts with FOXP3 in the absence of T-cell stimulation.
