Popis: The histone deacetylase family comprises 18 enzymes that catalyze deacetylation of acetylated lysine residues, however, the specificity and substrate profile of each enzyme remains largely unknown. Due to transient enzyme-substrate interactions, conventional co-immunoprecipitation methods frequently fail to identify enzyme-specific substrates. Additionally, compensatory mechanisms often limit the ability of knockdown or chemical inhibition studies to achieve significant fold-changes observed by acetylation proteomics methods. Furthermore, measured alterations do not guarantee a direct link between enzyme and substrate. Here we present a chemical crosslinking strategy that incorporates a photo-reactive, non-natural amino acid, p-benzoyl-L-phenylalanine, into various positions of the structurally characterized isozyme histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8). After covalent capture, co-immunoprecipitation, and mass spectrometric analysis, we identified a subset of HDAC8 substrates from human cell lysates, which were further validated for catalytic turnover. Overall, this chemical-crosslinking approach identified novel HDAC8 specific substrates with greater catalytic efficiency, thus presenting a general strategy for unbiased deacetylase substrate discovery.
