Figure 1 Structure of the human HDAC8–substrate complex. (A) Ribbon diagram of the two HDAC8–substrate complexes in the asymmetric unit. The substrate and residues involved in the head-to-head packing are shown in a stick representation. Carbon, oxygen and nitrogen for the substrate are green, red and blue, respectively. Zn^2+ and K^+ ions are represented as purple spheres. (B) Enlarged view of the substrate-binding site in the asymmetric unit with the 1.0 -contoured 2F[o]-F[c] electron density map. (C) HDAC8 monomer with the bound substrate. Atoms are coloured as in (A). (D) Enlarged view of the active site. Polar interactions are shown as dashed yellow lines. HDAC, histone deacetylase.
