Yet, the currently FDA-approved HDAC inhibitors non-specifically target at least several of the eleven structurally similar but functionally different HDAC isozymes, which hampers their broad usage in clinical settings. Selective inhibitors targeting single HDAC isozymes are being developed, but precise understanding in molecular terms of their selectivity remains sparse. Here, we show that HDAC8-selective inhibitors adopt a L-shaped conformation required for their binding to a HDAC8-specific pocket formed by HDAC8 catalytic tyrosine and HDAC8 L1 and L6 loops. In other HDAC isozymes, a L1-L6 lock sterically prevents L-shaped inhibitor binding. Shielding of the HDAC8-specific pocket by protein engineering decreases potency of HDAC8-selective inhibitors and affects catalytic activity. Collectively, our results unravel key HDAC8 active site structural and functional determinants important for the design of next-generation chemical probes and epigenetic drugs. Characterization of histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) selective inhibition reveals specific active site structural and functional determinants.,Marek M, Shaik TB, Heimburg T, Chakrabarti A, Lancelot J, Ramos Morales E, Da Veiga C, Kalinin DV, Melesina J, Robaa D, Schmidtkunz K, Suzuki T, Holl R, Ennifar E, Pierce R, Jung M, Sippl W, Romier C J Med Chem. 2018 Oct 22. doi: 10.1021/acs.jmedchem.8b01087.
