Dephosphorylation at a Conserved SP Motif Governs cAMP Sensitivity and Nuclear Localization of Class IIa Histone Deacetylases*
Bibliographic record
Abstract
Histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) and its paralogs, HDAC5, -7, and -9 (all members of class IIa), possess multiple phosphorylation sites crucial for 14-3-3 binding and subsequent nuclear export. cAMP signaling stimulates nuclear import of HDAC4 and HDAC5, but the underlying mechanisms remain to be elucidated. Here we show that cAMP potentiates nuclear localization of HDAC9. Mutation of an SP motif conserved in HDAC4, -5, and -9 prevents cAMP-stimulated nuclear localization. Unexpectedly, this treatment inhibits phosphorylation at the SP motif, indicating an inverse relationship between the phosphorylation event and nuclear import. Consistent with this, leptomycin B-induced nuclear import and adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) treatment result in the dephosphorylation at the motif. Moreover, the modification synergizes with phosphorylation at a nearby site, and similar kinetics was observed for both phosphorylation events during myoblast and adipocyte differentiation. These results thus unravel a previously unrecognized mechanism whereby cAMP promotes dephosphorylation and differentially regulates multisite phosphorylation and the nuclear localization of class IIa HDACs.

Full frame machine prediction
Teacher imitationNot calibrated prevalence, not ground truth. Human validation pending. The Gemma side is a direct model label for every work in the frame, read from the title-only record. The Codex side is a classifier learned from the 10,348 direct Codex labels and calibrated to design-weighted sample rates; fields without enough sample support carry no Codex call. Candidate is the union of the two sides; consensus is their intersection. These outputs are machine_predicted_unvalidated and are not human labels.

Machine scores (provisional)
The two teacher heads of the student model, read on this work. A score orders the frame for review; it never asserts a category, and the validation status ships verbatim with every row.
Baseline scores from an immature model (maturity gate not passed, 7 training rounds). Scores rank; they never assert a category.
score_only:v0-immature-baseline · verbatim from the scoring run: score_only means the number may rank works, and no category label ships from itClassification
machine, unvalidatedMachine predicted; a candidate call from one source (direct Gemma or distilled Codex), not a consensus.
