Western blot analysis for the acetylated alpha-tubulin levels in these cells demonstrated a reduction in acetyl [alpha]-tubulin expression in lysates of HDAC6 overexpressing HEK293T cells compared to cells transfected with empty vector thus indicating that hdac6 gene cloned by us is catalytically active at protein level (Figure 5(b)).
