Transcriptional inhibitors affecting topoisomerase II induce changes in histone methylation patterns similar to those induced by heat shock.

abstract：:Modification of microtubule (MT) dynamics is important for diverse aspects of cellular function including differentiation, cargo trafficking, migration, and adhesion. MTs also play a crucial role in the progression of neuronal development. The MT deacetylase Sirtuin 2 (Sirt2) and histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) regulate...
