Relative activities of APAH and HDAC8 with various substrates

AcPuta L-Lys(ε-acetyl)-coumarin Acetylated Tetrapeptideb
APAH 1.000 450 ± 20 0.06 ± 0.02
HDAC8 < 0.002c 1.000 1.000
a

Deacetylase activity measured using the standard polyamine deacetylase assay with acetylputrescine.

b

Deacetylase activity measured using the HDAC8 substrate N-acetyl-L-Arg-L-His-L-Lys(ε-acetyl)-L-Lys(ε-acetyl)-coumarin.

c

Lower limit of detection. All measurements were made in triplicate.
