NAD-dependent histone H4K16 deacetylase activity

Definition

Target type: molecularfunction

Catalysis of the reaction: histone H4 N6-acetyl-L-lysine (position 16) + H2O = histone H4 L-lysine (position 16) + acetate. This reaction requires the presence of NAD, and represents the removal of an acetyl group from lysine at position 16 of the histone H4 protein. [GOC:vw, PMID:28450737]

NAD-dependent histone H4K16 deacetylase activity refers to the enzymatic removal of an acetyl group from the lysine residue at position 16 (K16) on histone H4, using nicotinamide adenine dinucleotide (NAD+) as a cofactor. This specific deacetylation event plays a crucial role in regulating chromatin structure and gene expression.

Histone acetylation, a reversible post-translational modification, is associated with open chromatin conformation and increased gene transcription. Conversely, histone deacetylation is linked to a closed chromatin state and repressed gene expression.

NAD-dependent histone H4K16 deacetylases, belonging to the sirtuin family (SIRTs), utilize NAD+ as a substrate to hydrolyze the acetyl group from H4K16. The reaction involves a two-step mechanism:

1. NAD+ is cleaved into nicotinamide and 2'-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose.
2. The acetyl group from H4K16 is transferred to 2'-O-acetyl-ADP-ribose, forming O-acetyl-ADP-ribose and deacetylated H4K16.

The deacetylation of H4K16 by sirtuins can have various downstream effects, including:

- **Chromatin compaction:** Removal of the acetyl group from H4K16 promotes the formation of a more compact chromatin structure, leading to reduced accessibility of DNA to transcription factors.
- **Gene repression:** By altering chromatin structure, H4K16 deacetylation contributes to the silencing of genes.
- **DNA repair:** SIRT1, a prominent NAD-dependent histone H4K16 deacetylase, is involved in DNA repair pathways by facilitating the recruitment of repair factors to damaged DNA.
- **Cellular senescence:** SIRT1 deacetylation of H4K16 has been implicated in regulating cellular senescence and lifespan.

The specific role of NAD-dependent histone H4K16 deacetylase activity in gene expression regulation is context-dependent and can vary depending on the cell type, developmental stage, and environmental cues. Overall, this enzymatic activity is a key player in modulating chromatin architecture, impacting gene expression, and influencing cellular processes.'
