CENP-A Activators

CENP-A Activators refer to compounds known to modulate the activity or expression of CENP-A, a variant of histone H3, integral to the formation of centromeres in cells. This category of chemicals primarily encompasses agents that alter chromatin structures and influence epigenetic modulation, subsequently affecting the incorporation and function of CENP-A in the chromatin. For instance, 5-Azacytidine and Decitabine modify DNA methylation, impacting the epigenetic landscape, which can have a bearing on CENP-A activity and its role in centromere formation and function. Additionally, compounds like Trichostatin A, Sodium Butyrate, Vorinostat, and Valproic Acid are recognized for their capability to inhibit histone deacetylases (HDAC), causing alterations in chromatin structure, potentially influencing the interaction and integration of CENP-A within chromatin.

Further, chemicals like Romidepsin, Entinostat, Mocetinostat, Panobinostat, and SAHA continue the trend of HDAC inhibition, each contributing to changes in chromatin state and thereby, indirectly impacting CENP-A activity and expression. The modifications induced by these compounds may alter the dynamics of CENP-A incorporation into centromeres, influencing the stability and function of the centromeric chromatin. Azacitidine is another agent affecting DNA methylation, providing another layer of epigenetic modification, affecting CENP-A's role within the cell.
