| Title: Trifunctional probe for target identification
Contact: Mary O'Reilly
Description: This illustration is on the cover of the September, 2009 issue of the journal Chemistry & Biology to illustrate the article by Xu, et al. “Chemical probes identify a role for histone deacetylase 3 in Friedreich’s ataxia gene silencing” Chem. Biol. 2009, 16, 980-9.
To identify HDAC3 as the inhibitor’s target, a trifunctional chemical probe was used that incorporated the inhibitor, a handle for cross-linking, and a handle for detection.

Contact: Mary O'Reilly
Description: The cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator is a cell surface chloride channel that works to maintain proper hydration of airway epithelium. Mutation of this channel is implicated in cystic fibrosis, but a small molecule histone deacetylase inhibitor is able to restore function to the mutated channel.

Description: Mast cells are decorated with cell surface Fc receptors that act as anchor and signal transducer for the IgE antibodies that are bound to them. Signals are only triggered when IgE antibodies are cross-linked, such as when mast cells encounter allergens (Pollen, ragweed, etc.). This binding and signal transduction leads to an allergic response, with a burst of histamine, cytokines, proteolytic enzymes, and other factors from the cell interior.
