The present paper is the first report on histone deacetylases from plants. Three enzyme fractions with histone deacetylase activity (HD0, HD1 and HD2) have been partially purified from pea (Pisum sativum) embryonic axes. They deacetylate biologically acetylated chicken histones and, to a lesser exte

## Abstract Skeletogenesis occurs continuously during the lifespan of vertebrate organisms. In development, the skeleton is patterned and modeled until each bone achieves its optimal shape and full size. During adults, the skeleton is remodeled to maintain strength and release calcium. The boneβres
## Abstract Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that catalyze the removal of acetyl groups from lysine residues in both histone and nonβhistone proteins. They play a key role in the regulation of gene transcription and many other biological processes involving chromatin. Significantly, recent
Accumulating evidence points to a connection between cancer and transcriptional control by histone acetylation and deacetylation. This is particularly true with regard to the acute leukemias, many of which are caused by fusion proteins that have been created by chromosomal translocations. Genetic re
