Methionine 274 Is Not the Determining Factor for Selective Inhibition of Histone Deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) by L-Shaped Inhibitors

HDAC8 is an important target in several indication areas including childhood neuroblastoma. Several isozyme selective inhibitors of HDAC8 with L-shaped structures have been developed. A theoretical study has suggested that methionine 274 (M274) would act as a “switch” that controls a transient bindi...

description HDAC8 is an important target in several indication areas including childhood neuroblastoma. Several isozyme selective inhibitors of HDAC8 with L-shaped structures have been developed. A theoretical study has suggested that methionine 274 (M274) would act as a “switch” that controls a transient binding pocket, which is induced upon binding of L-shaped inhibitors. This hypothesis was experimentally examined in this study. The thermostability and functionality of HDAC8 wildtype and mutant variants with exchanged M274 were analyzed using biophysical methods. Furthermore, the binding kinetics of L-shaped and linear reference inhibitors of these HDAC8 variants were determined in order to elucidate the mode of interaction. Exchange of M274 has considerable impact on enzyme activity, but is not the decisive factor for selective recognition of HDAC8 by L-shaped inhibitors.
