Histone deacetylase 5 (HDAC5) and HDAC9 are class IIa HDACs that function as signal-responsive repressors of the epigenetic program for pathological cardiomyocyte hypertrophy. The conserved deacetylase domains of HDAC5 and HDAC9 are not required for inhibition of cardiac hypertrophy. Thus, the biological function of class IIa HDAC catalytic activity in the heart remains unknown. Here we demonstrate that catalytic activity of HDAC5, but not HDAC9, suppresses mitochondrial reactive oxygen species ...[more]
