to the editor: We were intrigued to read the paper recently published by Li et al. (4) entitled “Histone deacetylase 8 regulates cortactin deacetylation and contraction in smooth muscle tissues.” The posttranslational modification of nonnuclear smooth muscle proteins by acetylation is emerging as an important regulatory mechanism, and our attention was drawn to several aspects of the article.
