GFZF, a glutathione S-transferase protein implicated in cell cycle regulation and hybrid inviability, is a transcriptional co-activator

ABSTRACT: The core promoter of protein-encoding genes plays a central role in regulating transcription. M1BP is a transcriptional activator that associates with a core promoter element known as Motif 1 that resides at thousand of genes in Drosophila. To gain insight into how M1BP functions, we identified an interacting protein called GFZF. GFZF had been previously identified in genetic screens for factors involved in maintenance of hybrid inviability, the G2-M DNA damage checkpoint, and RAS/MAPK signaling but its contribution to these processes was unknown. Previous evidence indicated that GFZF resides in the cytoplasm. Here, we show that GFZF resides in the nucleus and functions as a transcriptional co-activator. In addition, we show that GFZF is a glutathione S-transferase(GST). Thus, GFZF is the first transcriptional co-activator with intrinsic GST activity, and its identification as a transcriptional co-activator provides an explanation for its role in numerous biological processes.

M1BP cooperates with CP190 to activate transcription at TAD borders and promote chromatin insulator activity

Project description:Genome organization is driven by forces affecting transcriptional state, but the relationship between transcription and genome architecture remains unclear. Here, we identified the Drosophila transcription factor Motif 1 Binding Protein (M1BP) in physical association with the gypsy chromatin insulator core complex, including the universal insulator protein CP190. M1BP is required for enhancer-blocking and barrier activities of the gypsy insulator as well as its proper nuclear localization. Genome-wide, M1BP specifically colocalizes with CP190 at Motif 1-containing promoters, which are enriched at topologically associating domain (TAD) borders. M1BP facilitates CP190 chromatin binding at many shared sites and vice versa. Both factors promote Motif 1-dependent gene expression and transcription near TAD borders genome-wide. Finally, loss of M1BP reduces chromatin accessibility and increases both inter- and intra-TAD local genome compaction. Our results reveal physical and functional interaction between CP190 and M1BP to activate transcription at TAD borders and mediate chromatin insulator-dependent genome organization.

Deletion of Glutathione S-Transferase Omega 1 Activates Type I Interferon Genes and Downregulates Tissue Factor

Project description:Glutathione S-transferase omega 1 (GSTO1) is an atypical GST isoform that is overexpressed in several cancers and has been implicated in drug resistance. Currently, no small-molecule drug targeting GSTO1 is under clinical development. Using genetic tools, including extensive bioinformatics analysis coupled with CRISPR/Cas9 technologies, we have validated GSTO1 as an impactful target in oncology. Through transcriptional profiling using Bru-seq and RNA-seq coupled with proteomics, we uncovered novel pharmacodynamic markers and cellular pathways regulated by GSTO1. Our CRISPR/Cas9 GSTO1 knockout (KO) cell lines do not form tumors or display growth delay in vivo and form smaller 3D spheroids in vitro. Through multi-omics studies in GSTO1 KO cells, we found a strong positive correlation with cell adhesion molecules and interferon response pathways, and a strong negative correlation with Myc transcriptional signature. Importantly, we also identified several clinically used drugs showing significant synthetic lethality with loss or inhibition of GSTO1. We discovered that tissue factor (gene name, F3) transcription and protein expression are downregulated in response to GSTO1 KO. Associated with poor patient survival and promotion of tumor progression in multiple cancers, F3 is a known risk factor for metastasis. F3 transcription is under the regulation of IL-1β, whose secretion is decreased upon GSTO1 inhibition, suggesting that IL-1β links GSTO1 expression and F3 transcription. In summary, our results implicate GSTO1 as a therapeutic target in cancer and offer new mechanistic insights into its significant role in cancer progression.

Characterisation of a novel glycosylated glutathione transferase of Onchocerca ochengi, closest relative of the human river blindness parasite

Project description:Filarial nematodes possess glutathione transferases (GSTs), ubiquitous enzymes with potential to detoxify xenobiotic and endogenous substrates, and modulate the host immune system, which may aid worm infection establishment, maintenance and survival in the host. Here we have identified and characterised a sigma class glycosylated GST (OoGST1), from the cattle-infective filarial nematode Onchocerca ochengi, which is homologous (99% amino acid identity) with an immunodominant GST and potential vaccine candidate from the human parasite, O. volvulus, (OvGST1b). O. ochengi native GSTs were purified using a two-step affinity chromatography approach, resolved by 2D and 1D SDS-PAGE and subjected to enzymic deglycosylation revealing the existence of at least four glycoforms. A combination of lectin-blotting and mass spectrometry (MS) analyses of the released N-glycans indicated that OoGST1 contained mainly oligomannose Man5GlcNAc2 structure, but also hybrid- and larger oligommanose-type glycans in a lower proportion. Furthermore, purified OoGST1 showed prostaglandin synthase activity as confirmed by Liquid Chromatography (LC)/MS following a coupled-enzyme assay. This is only the second reported and characterised glycosylated GST and our study highlights its potential role in host-parasite interactions and use in the study of human onchocerciasis.

Project description:The gene encoding a protein (AmGSTF1) associated with multiple herbicide resistance (MHR) in black-grass was transgenically expressed in Arabidopsis thaliana.The goal of this study was to determine if AmGSTF1 could elicit an MHR phenotype in the transgenic host. Affymetix microarrays were used to detect changes in transcriptional regulation between amgstf1-expressors and wild-type Arabidopsis plants (ecotype Col0). Total RNA was isolated from amgstf1-expressors and wild-type Arabidopsis plants (ecotype Col0) respectively, grown under identical growth room conditions. Performed in biological triplicate.
