Zn-dependent histone deacetylases are widely distributed in archaea, bacteria, and eukaryotes. Through deacetylation of histones and other biomolecules, these enzymes regulate mammalian gene expression, microtubule stability, and polyamine metabolism. In plants, they play essential roles in development and stress response, but little is known about their biochemistry. We provide here a holistic revision of plant histone deacetylase (HDA) phylogeny and translate recent lessons from other organisms. HDA evolution correlates with a gain of structural ductility/disorder, as observed for other proteins. We also highlight two recently identified Brassicaceae-specific HDAs, as well as unprecedented key mutations that would affect the catalytic activity of individual HDAs. This revised phylogeny will contextualize future studies and illuminate research on plant development and adaptation.

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a class of zinc (Zn)-dependent metalloenzymes that are responsible for epigenetic modifications. HDACs are largely associated with histone proteins that regulate gene expression at the DNA level. This tight regulation is controlled by acetylation [via histone acetyl transferases (HATs)] and deacetylation (via HDACs) of histone and non-histone proteins that alter the coiling state of DNA, thus impacting gene expression as a downstream effect.

Article Synopsis
- The Ubiquitin-Proteasome System regulates protein degradation and maintains cellular health, with E3 ligases playing a crucial role in recognizing and targeting proteins for degradation.
- E3 ligases are vital in cell cycle regulation and checkpoint control, while Zinc-dependent Histone Deacetylases (HDACs) influence gene expression by affecting chromatin structure.
- The review explores E3 ligases that ubiquitinate HDACs, their structural details, and ligands for designing PROTACs, which are innovative tools for selectively degrading specific proteins, including HDACs.

The histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes have emerged as an important class of molecular targets in cancer therapy, with five inhibitors in clinical use. Recently, it has been shown that a lack of selectivity between the 11 Zn-dependent HDAC isoforms may lead to unwanted side-effects. In this paper, we show that piano stool Ru complexes can act as HDAC inhibitors, and variation in the capping arene leads to differences in HDAC isoform selectivity.

Chemical modifications on histones constitute a key mechanism for gene regulation in chromatin context. Recently, histone lysine β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb) was identified as a new form of histone acylation that connects starvation-responsive metabolism to epigenetic regulation. Sirtuins are a family of NAD-dependent deacetylases.
