PROTAC-mediated degradation of class I histone deacetylase enzymes in corepressor complexes.

ABSTRACT: We have identified a proteolysis targeting chimera (PROTAC) of class I HDACs 1, 2 and 3. The most active degrader consists of a benzamide HDAC inhibitor, an alkyl linker, and the von Hippel-Lindau E3 ligand. Our PROTAC increased histone acetylation levels and compromised colon cancer HCT116 cell viability, establishing a degradation strategy as an alternative to class I HDAC inhibition.

PROTAC chemical probes for histone deacetylase enzymes.

Project description:Over the past three decades, we have witnessed the progression of small molecule chemical probes designed to inhibit the catalytic active site of histone deacetylase (HDAC) enzymes into FDA approved drugs. However, it is only in the past five years we have witnessed the emergence of proteolysis targeting chimeras (PROTACs) capable of promoting the proteasome mediated degradation of HDACs. This is a field still in its infancy, however given the current progress of PROTACs in clinical trials and the fact that FDA approved HDAC drugs are already in the clinic, there is significant potential in developing PROTACs to target HDACs as therapeutics. Beyond therapeutics, PROTACs also serve important applications as chemical probes to interrogate fundamental biology related to HDACs via their unique degradation mode of action. In this review, we highlight some of the key findings to date in the discovery of PROTACs targeting HDACs by HDAC class and HDAC isoenzyme, current gaps in PROTACs to target HDACs and future outlooks.

Regulated clearance of histone deacetylase 3 protects independent formation of nuclear receptor corepressor complexes.

Project description:An important step in transcriptional regulation by corepressors N-CoR and SMRT is the formation of a stable and active histone deacetylase 3 (HDAC3)-containing complex. Although N-CoR and SMRT are thought to bind HDAC3 competitively, multiple studies have shown that they do not interfere with the function of each other. How this functional independence is sustained under the competitive interaction is unclear. Here, we show that the coupling of corepressor expression with HDAC3 degradation allows cells to maintain a stable level of uncomplexed HDAC3, thereby preventing mutual interference in the assembly of N-CoR and SMRT complexes. The free uncomplexed HDAC3 is highly unstable. Unexpectedly, the rate of HDAC3 degradation is inversely correlated with the expression level of corepressors. Our results indicate that reducing one corepressor accelerates HDAC3 clearance, thus preventing an increase in complex formation between HDAC3 and the other corepressor. In addition, this study also indicates that the formation of a stable and active HDAC3-corepressor complex is a stepwise process in which the C terminus of HDAC3 plays a critical role at late steps of the assembly process.

Distinct biochemical properties of the class I histone deacetylase complexes.

Project description:Classical histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that can hydrolytically cleave acetyl-Lys in histones and other proteins and serve as established drug targets in some forms of cancer. Class I HDACs 1-3 typically exist in a range of multiprotein complexes inside cells and show distinct biological functions in modulating gene expression. In recent years, it has become possible to purify and analyze the structure and enzymatic properties of several of these HDAC complexes, including CoREST, MiDAC, NuRD, Sin3, SMRT, MIER, and RERE. Here, we summarize what is experimentally established and/or computationally predicted about the structure of these complexes to describe their particular catalytic activities and site-specificities with modified nucleosome substrates.

PROTAC-Mediated HDAC7 Protein Degradation Unveils Its Deacetylase-Independent Proinflammatory Function in Macrophages.

Project description:Class IIa histone deacetylases (Class IIa HDACs) play critical roles in regulating essential cellular metabolism and inflammatory pathways. However, dissecting the specific roles of each class IIa HDAC isoform is hindered by the pan-inhibitory effect of current inhibitors and a lack of tools to probe their functions beyond epigenetic regulation. In this study, a novel PROTAC-based compound B4 is developed, which selectively targets and degrades HDAC7, resulting in the effective attenuation of a specific set of proinflammatory cytokines in both lipopolysaccharide (LPS)-stimulated macrophages and a mouse model. By employing B4 as a molecular probe, evidence is found for a previously explored role of HDAC7 that surpasses its deacetylase function, suggesting broader implications in inflammatory processes. Mechanistic investigations reveal the critical involvement of HDAC7 in the Toll-like receptor 4 (TLR4) signaling pathway by directly interacting with the TNF receptor-associated factor 6 and TGFβ-activated kinase 1 (TRAF6-TAK1) complex, thereby initiating the activation of the downstream mitogen-activated protein kinase/nuclear factor-κB (MAPK/NF-κB) signaling cascade and subsequent gene transcription. This study expands the insight into HDAC7's role within intricate inflammatory networks and highlights its therapeutic potential as a novel target for anti-inflammatory treatments.

Corepressor MMTR/DMAP1 is involved in both histone deacetylase 1- and TFIIH-mediated transcriptional repression.

Project description:A transcription corepressor, MAT1-mediated transcriptional repressor (MMTR), was found in mouse embryonic stem cell lines. MMTR orthologs (DMAP1) are found in a wide variety of life forms from yeasts to humans. MMTR down-regulation in differentiating mouse embryonic stem cells in vitro resulted in activation of many unrelated genes, suggesting its role as a general transcriptional repressor. In luciferase reporter assays, the transcriptional repression activity resided at amino acids 221 to 468. Histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) interacts with MMTR both in vitro and in vivo and also interacts with MMTR in the nucleus. Interestingly, MMTR activity was only partially rescued by competition with dominant-negative HDAC1(H141A) or by treatment with an HDAC inhibitor, trichostatin A (TSA). To identify the protein responsible for HDAC1-independent MMTR activity, we performed a yeast two-hybrid screen with the full-length MMTR coding sequence as bait and found MAT1. MAT1 is an assembly/targeting factor for cyclin-dependent kinase-activating kinase which constitutes a subcomplex of TFIIH. The coiled-coil domain in the middle of MAT1 was confirmed to interact with the C-terminal half of MMTR, and the MMTR-mediated transcriptional repression activity was completely restored by MAT1 in the presence of TSA. Moreover, intact MMTR was required to inhibit phosphorylation of the C-terminal domain in the RNA polymerase II largest subunit by TFIIH kinase in vitro. Taken together, these data strongly suggest that MMTR is part of the basic cellular machinery for a wide range of transcriptional regulation via interaction with TFIIH and HDAC.

In vitro targeting reveals intrinsic histone tail specificity of the Sin3/histone deacetylase and N-CoR/SMRT corepressor complexes.

Project description:The histone code is among others established via differential acetylation catalyzed by histone acetyltransferases (HATs) and histone deacetylases (HDACs). To unambiguously determine the histone tail specificity of HDAC-containing complexes, we have established an in vitro system consisting of nucleosomal templates reconstituted with hyperacetylated histones or recombinant histones followed by acetylation with native SAGA or NuA4. Selective targeting of the mammalian Sin3/HDAC and N-CoR/SMRT corepressor complexes by using specific chimeric repressors created a near physiological setting to assess their histone tail specificity. Recruitment of the Sin3/HDAC complex to nucleosomal templates preacetylated with SAGA or NuA4 resulted in deacetylation of histones H3 and H4, whereas recruitment of N-CoR/SMRT resulted in deacetylation of histone H3 only. These results provide solid evidence that HDAC-containing complexes display distinct, intrinsic histone tail specificities and hence may function differently to regulate chromatin structure and transcription.

Acetylation of histone deacetylase 1 regulates NuRD corepressor complex activity.

Project description:BackgroundHDAC1-containing NuRD complex is required for GATA-1-mediated repression and activation.ResultsGATA-1 associated with acetylated HDAC1-containing NuRD complex, which has no deacetylase activity, for gene activation.ConclusionAcetylated HDAC1 converts NuRD complex from a repressor to an activator during GATA-1-directed erythroid differentiation program.SignificanceHDAC1 acetylation may function as a master regulator for the activity of HDAC1 containing complexes. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) play important roles in regulating cell proliferation and differentiation. The HDAC1-containing NuRD complex is generally considered as a corepressor complex and is required for GATA-1-mediated repression. However, recent studies also show that the NuRD complex is involved in GATA-1-mediated gene activation. We tested whether the GATA-1-associated NuRD complex loses its deacetylase activity and commits the GATA-1 complex to become an activator during erythropoiesis. We found that GATA-1-associated deacetylase activity gradually decreased upon induction of erythroid differentiation. GATA-1-associated HDAC1 is increasingly acetylated after differentiation. It has been demonstrated earlier that acetylated HDAC1 has no deacetylase activity. Indeed, overexpression of an HDAC1 mutant, which mimics acetylated HDAC1, promotes GATA-1-mediated transcription and erythroid differentiation. Furthermore, during erythroid differentiation, acetylated HDAC1 recruitment is increased at GATA-1-activated genes, whereas it is significantly decreased at GATA-1-repressed genes. Interestingly, deacetylase activity is not required for Mi2 remodeling activity, suggesting that remodeling activity may be required for both activation and repression. Thus, our data suggest that NuRD can function as a coactivator or repressor and that acetylated HDAC1 converts the NuRD complex from a repressor to an activator during GATA-1-directed erythroid differentiation.

Peptide-Based 2-Aminophenylamide Probes for Targeting Endogenous Class I Histone Deacetylase Complexes.

Project description:Lysine deacetylases or histone deacetylases (HDACs) remove acetylation markers from numerous cellular proteins, thereby regulating their function and activity. Recently established peptide probes containing the HDAC-trapping amino acid α-aminosuberic acid ω-hydroxamate (AsuHd) have been used to investigate the compositions of HDAC complexes in a site-specific manner. Here we report the new HDAC-trapping amino acid 2-amino-8-[(2-aminophenyl)amino]-8-oxooctanoic acid (AsuApa) and the utility of AsuApa-containing probes for HDAC complex profiling on a proteome-wide scale. Unlike AsuHd-containing probes, AsuApa enriched only HDACs 1, 2, and 3 efficiently and was the most potent probe tested for capturing the last of these. These findings indicate that the inherent specificity of reported small-molecule pimelic diphenylamide HDAC inhibitors is preserved in AsuApa and that this HDAC-trapping amino acid represents a potent tool for investigating class I HDAC complexes.

Erasers of histone acetylation: the histone deacetylase enzymes.

Project description:Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes that catalyze the removal of acetyl functional groups from the lysine residues of both histone and nonhistone proteins. In humans, there are 18 HDAC enzymes that use either zinc- or NAD(+)-dependent mechanisms to deacetylate acetyl lysine substrates. Although removal of histone acetyl epigenetic modification by HDACs regulates chromatin structure and transcription, deacetylation of nonhistones controls diverse cellular processes. HDAC inhibitors are already known potential anticancer agents and show promise for the treatment of many diseases.

Structural Characterization of the SMRT Corepressor Interacting with Histone Deacetylase 7.

Project description:The 2525 amino acid SMRT corepressor is an intrinsically disordered hub protein responsible for binding and coordinating the activities of multiple transcription factors and chromatin modifying enzymes. Here we have studied its interaction with HDAC7, a class IIa deacetylase that interacts with the corepressor complex together with the highly active class I deacetylase HDAC3. The binding site of class IIa deacetylases was previously mapped to an approximate 500 amino acid region of SMRT, with recent implication of short glycine-serine-isoleucine (GSI) containing motifs. In order to characterize the interaction in detail, we applied a random library screening approach within this region and obtained a range of stable, soluble SMRT fragments. In agreement with an absence of predicted structural domains, these were characterized as intrinsically disordered by NMR spectroscopy. We identified one of them, comprising residues 1255-1452, as interacting with HDAC7 with micromolar affinity. The binding site was mapped in detail by NMR and confirmed by truncation and alanine mutagenesis. Complementing this with mutational analysis of HDAC7, we show that HDAC7, via its surface zinc ion binding site, binds to a 28 residue stretch in SMRT comprising a GSI motif followed by an alpha helix.
