Popis: Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are important regulators of gene transcription thus controlling multiple cellular processes. Despite its essential role in plants,HDA6is yet to be validated in common bean. In this study, we show thatHDA6is involved in plant development and stress response. Differential expression ofHDA6was determined in various tissues and the expression was seen to be upregulated with plant age (seedling < flowering < maturity). Higher expression was observed in flowers and pods than in stem, leaf, and root. Upregulation ofHDA6gene during cold stress implies its prominent role in abiotic stress. Furthermore, theHDA6gene was isolated from three common bean genotypes and sequence analyses revealed homology with functionally characterized homologs in model species. The 53 kDa translated product was detected using anHDA6specific antibody and recombinant protein overexpressed inEscherichia colishowed HDAC activityin vitro. To our knowledge, this is the first report in the agriculturally important crop common bean describing the functional characterization and biological role ofHDA6.
