Histone deacetylase RPD3

UniProtKB accession:  P32561

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Catalytic component of the RPD3 histone deacetylase (HDAC) complexes RPD3C(L) and RPD3C(S) responsible for the deacetylation of lysine residues on the N-terminal part of the core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4). Histone deacetylation plays an important role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, DNA damage response, osmotic stress response and developmental events. Is involved in rDNA and telomere silencing and in double strand breaks repair. Required for both full transcription repression and activation of many genes including cell type-specific genes (STE6, TY2 and HO), cell differentiation-specific genes (SPO13), genes that respond to external signals (PHO5) and TRK2. The RPD3 complexes regulate also chromosomal replication timing.
