Class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) act as key transcriptional regulators in several important developmental programs. Their activities are controlled via phosphorylation-dependent nucleocytoplasmic shuttling. Phosphorylation of conserved serine residues triggers association with 14-3-3 proteins and cytoplasmic relocalization of class IIa HDACs, which leads to the derepression of their target genes. Although a lot of effort has been made toward the identification of the inactivating kinases t ...[more]
