Histone deacetylases (HDACs) target acetylated lysine residues in histone and non-histone proteins. HDACs are implicated in the regulation of genomic stability, cell cycle, cell death and differentiation and thus critically involved in tumorigenesis. Further, HDACs regulate T-cell development and HDAC inhibitors (HDACis) have been approved for clinical use in some T-cell malignancies.
