Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are important enzymes for the transcriptional regulation of gene expression in eukaryotic cells. Furthermore, in recent years HDACs occupied a major position as key targets for chemotherapeutic intervention in malignant diseases. However, progress in the development of these new chemotherapeutics is largely dependent on the existence of bioassays well-suited to inhibitor screening. Herein, we present the first nonisotopic competition binding assay for HDACs. The assay principle has been demonstrated using the well-established HDAC homolog FB188 histone deacetylase-like amidohydrolase from Bordetella/Alcaligenes species FB188. The assay is based on a new fluorescent HDAC inhibitor that shows fluorescence resonance energy transfer with tryptophans upon binding to the enzyme. In a competition situation with other HDAC inhibitors the displacement of the fluorescent inhibitor is accompanied by a decrease of fluorescence resonance energy transfer. The assay is well suited to kinetic studies of inhibitor binding and to HDAC inhibitor identification, e.g., in the context of high-throughput inhibitor screening in drug discovery.
