TrmB-like family transcription factor OxsR regulates the oxidative stress response in Haloferax volcanii

ABSTRACT: Haloarchaea tolerate high levels of reactive species that are naturally present in hypersaline environments. Hundreds of sRNAs, transcripts, and proteins are found altered in abundance when haloarchaea are exposed to reactive species, yet the regulators that control these responses are not well characterized. Here we report the function of Haloferax volcanii OxsR (redox stress responsive regulator, HVO_2970), a standalone winged-helix DNA binding domain protein of the TrmB-like family. Here we demonstrate that OxsR is important for growth in the presence of hypochlorite and binds specific regions of genomic DNA during hypochlorite stress by ChIP-seq analysis. The OxsR-bound intergenic regions were located nearby operons encoding oxidative stress functions, including the biosynthesis of low molecular weight thiols and thiol relay systems. Further analysis by qRT-PCR revealed that OxsR functions during oxidative stress largely as a transcriptional activator, and occasionally as a repressor. The conserved cysteine residue (C24) of OxsR and a CG-rich binding motif upstream of BRE/TATA box promoter elements were found important in the transcriptional activation of select operons during hypochlorite stress. 3D-modeling of OxsR revealed C24 to be located at a homodimer interface formed by antiparallel α1 helices, suggesting that C24 forms an intersubunit disulfide bond in the presence of oxidant that stabilizes the homodimer. The phylogenetic distribution of OxsR homologs with the conserved cysteine suggests this type of redox signaling mechanism is widespread in Archaea.

S-bacillithiolation of the OhrR repressor and the methionine synthase MetE protect against hypochlorite stress in Bacillus subtilis

Project description:Protein S-thiolation is a post-translational thiol-modification that controls redox-sensing transcription factors and protects active site cysteine residues against irreversible oxidation. In B. subtilis, the MarR-type repressor OhrR was shown to sense organic hydroperoxides via formation of mixed disulfides with the redox buffer bacillithiol (Cys-GlcN-Malate) termed as S-bacillithiolation. We have studied changes in the transcriptome and redox proteome caused by the strong oxidant hypochloric acid (NaOCl), the active component of house-hold bleach. The OhrR-controlled peroxiredoxin OhrA was most strongly up-regulated by NaOCl stress and conferred specific protection against NaOCl. Inactivation of the OhrR repressor was caused by S-bacillithiolation of the redox-sensing Cys15 residue in response to NaOCl. Two cobalamin-independent methionine synthases MetE and YxjG were identified as S-bacillithiolated at their essential active site cysteines resulting in hypochlorite-induced methionine limitation. In summary, our studies show that S-bacillithiolation of OhrR and the methionine synthases is the major mechanism in protection against hypochlorite stress in B. subtilis. The B. subtilis 168 wild type strain was grown in minimal medium to OD500 of 0.4 and harvested before and 10 minutes after exposure to 50 µM NaOCl. Microarray hybridizations were performed in triplicate using RNA isolated from independent cultures.

Chemical Modulation of Glycolysis Regulates the KEAP1-NRF2 Pathway Through a Metabolite-Induced Posttranslational Modification

Project description:Glycolysis is a master regulator of cellular energy, synthesis and redox regulation, however the mechanisms that underlie the responses to and regulation of changing glucose metabolism are incompletely understood. The NRF2-antioxidant response element (ARE) pathway serves as a central regulator of cellular stress by sensing and eliminating 2 chemically reactive species in the cell. A phenotypic high-throughput chemical screen for novel activators of NRF2 signaling identified an inhibitor of the glycolytic enzyme PGK1. Metabolomic and proteomic profiling experiments revealed that inhibition of PGK1 results in the accumulation of central glycolytic intermediates, as well as the reactive dicarbonyl metabolite methylglyoxal (MGx). MGx selectively modifies reactive residues on KEAP1, resulting in the formation of a covalent KEAP1 homodimer, accumulation of NRF2 and activation of the NRF2 transcriptional program. Proteomic and NMR experiments verified that KEAP1 homodimerization is mediated by a novel post-translational modification, termed MICA, formed by the reaction of methylglyoxal with proximal cysteine and arginine residues. The identified PGK1 inhibitor series was found to be efficacious in a NRF2-dependent mouse model of UV-damage, demonstrating that activation of KEAP1- NRF2 signaling through this mechanism is physiologically relevant. Together, these results demonstrate the existence of direct inter-pathway communication between glycolysis and the KEAP1-NRF2 transcriptional program, which is mediated by a reactive metaboliteinduced post-translational modification (rmPTM). In addition, they provide new insight into metabolic regulation of cell stress response, and a potential therapeutic axis for controlling the cytoprotective antioxidant response in numerous human diseases.

S-bacillithiolation protects against hypochlorite stress in Bacillus subtilis as revealed by transcriptomics and redox proteomics

Project description:Protein S-thiolation is a post-translational thiol-modification that controls redox-sensing transcription factors and protects active site cysteine residues against irreversible oxidation. In Bacillus subtilis the MarR-type repressor OhrR was shown to sense organic hydroperoxides via formation of mixed disulfides with the redox buffer bacillithiol (Cys-GlcN-Malate, BSH), termed as S-bacillithiolation. Here, we have studied changes in the transcriptome and redox proteome caused by the strong oxidant hypochloric acid in B. subtilis. The expression profile of NaOCl stress is indiciative of disulfide stess as shown by the induction of the thiol- and oxidative stress-specific Spx, CtsR and PerR regulons. Thiol redox proteomics identified only few cytoplasmic proteins with reversible thiol-oxidations in response to NaOCl stress that include GapA and MetE. Shotgun-LC-MS/MS analyses revealed that GapA, Spx and PerR are oxidized to intramolecular disulfides by NaOCl stress. Furthermore, we identified six S-bacillithiolated proteins in NaOCl-treated cells, including the OhrR repressor, two methionine synthases MetE and YxjG, the inorganic pyrophosphatase PpaC, the 3-D-phophoglycerate dehydrogenase SerA and the putative bacilliredoxin YphP. S-bacillithiolation of the OhrR repressor leads to up-regulation of the OhrA peroxiredoxin that confers together with BSH specific protection against NaOCl. S-bacillithiolation of MetE, YxjG, PpaC and SerA causes hypochlorite-induced methionine starvation as supported by the induction of the S-box regulon. The mechanism of S-glutathionylation of MetE has been described in Escherichia coli also leading to enzyme inactivation and methionine auxotrophy. In summary, our studies discover an important role of the BSH redox buffer in protection against hypochloric acid by S-bacillithiolation of the redox-sensing regulator OhrR and of four enzymes of the methionine biosynthesis pathway.

The Old Yellow Enzyme OfrA fosters Staphylococcus aureus survival via thiol-dependent redox homeostasis

Project description:Old yellow enzymes (OYEs) are widely found in the bacterial, fungal, and plant kingdoms but absent in humans and have been used as biocatalysts for decades. However, OYEs physiological function in bacterial stress response and infection situations remained enigmatic. In the mode of pathogen, the gram-positive bacterium Staphylococcus aureus adapts to numerous stress conditions during pathogenesis. Here we show that in S. aureus genome, two paralogous genes (ofrA and ofrB) encode for two OYEs. We conducted bioinformatic analysis and found that ofrA is conserved among all publicly available representative staphylococcal genomes and some Firmicutes. Expression of ofrA is induced by electrophilic, oxidative, and hypochlorite stress in S. aureus. Furthermore, ofrA contributes to S. aureus survival against reactive electrophilic, oxygen, and chlorine species (RES, ROS, RCS) via thiol-dependent redox homeostasis. At the host-pathogen interface, ofrA mutation affects S. aureus survival in macrophages and whole human blood and the virulence factor staphyloxanthin production. Overall, our results shed the light onto a novel stress response strategy in the bacterial kingdom especially in the important human pathogen S. aureus.

Overexpression of catalase delays age-related cardiac disease by preventing oxidative cysteine modifications

Project description:Reactive protein cysteine thiolates are instrumental in redox regulation. Aging associated to oxidative stress, can impair redox signaling by damaging essential cysteine thiolates. Our initial study found that cardiac-specific overexpression of catalase, can protect from oxidative stress and delay cardiac aging in mice. The Project aimed to investigate differential reversible cysteine thiol oxidation in cardiac proteome of wild type and Cat transgenic (Tg) mice, using “Tandem Mass Tag” (TMT) labeling strategy and mass spectrometry. Our results show globally decreased cysteine thiol occupancy in cardiac proteins in Cat Tg mice. The majority of proteins with differentially modified thiols may be involved in pathways of aging and cardiac disease including cellular stress response, proteostasis and apoptosis. Overexpressed catalase may modulate these protein cysteine thiol oxidations resulting in delayed cardiac aging and related pathologies.

Characterization of the redox proteome in Drosophila melanogaster aging eyes.

Project description:During oxidative stress, reactive oxygen species (ROS) can modify and damage cellular proteins. In particular, the thiol groups of cysteine residues can undergo reversible or irreversible oxidative post-translation modifications (PTMs). Identifying the redox-sensitive cysteines on a proteome-wide scale can provide insight into those proteins that act as redox sensors or become irreversibly damaged upon exposure to high levels of ROS. Aging is accompanied by oxidative stress, and oxygen-rich tissues such as the eye are particularly vulnerable because of its high energy demand and generation of ROS byproducts, which increases the risk for ocular disease. In this study, we profiled the redox proteome of the aging Drosophila eye to identify cysteine residues that are modified by age-associated ROS.

Characterization of the redox proteome of Drosophila melanogaster S2 cells and w1118 fly eyes.

Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) serve as intracellular signaling molecules; however, in excess ROS molecules are damaging to biomacromolecules such as DNA, lipids, and proteins. The excess accumulation of ROS leads to oxidative stress, disrupting redox homeostasis in the cell and has been linked with aging and neurodegenerative disease. The eye is particularly vulnerable to oxidative stress due to the tissue’s high energy demand and generation of ROS by products. In proteins, the thiol group on cysteine residues is susceptible to oxidation. Cysteine residues have multiple oxidation states that can be classified into two categories—reversible and irreversible. Irreversible oxidation states include sulfinic and sulfonic acids, which may alter or impair the activity of the protein depending on the position of the cysteine residue. In contrast, reversible oxidation states include sulfenic acid or inter- and intramolecular disulfides, and can often function as redox sensors in the cell. Here, we sought to evaluate how increasing amounts of oxidative stress alters the redox proteome landscape in Drosophila. To characterize the redox proteome, we developed an iodoTMT-multiplex isolation, labeling, and enrichment method to identify cysteine availability and potential oxidation in both S2 cells and w1118 fly eyes. To do this, we exposed S2 cells to 20mM H2O2 relative to control (untreated), and w1118 flies to prolonged blue light versus an untreated control, followed by redox proteome profiling with iodoTMT-sixplex reagents.

S-lactoyl modification of KEAP1 by a reactive glycolytic metabolite activates NRF2 signaling

Project description:KEAP1, a cytoplasmic repressor of the oxidative stress responsive transcription factor NRF2, senses the presence of electrophilic agents by modification of its sensor cysteine residues. In addition to xenobiotics, several reactive metabolites have been shown to covalently modify key cysteines on KEAP1, although the full repertoire of these molecules and their respective modifications remains undefined. Here, we report the discovery of sAKZ692, a small molecule identified by high throughput screening that stimulates NRF2 transcriptional activity in cells by inhibiting the glycolytic enzyme pyruvate kinase. sAKZ692 treatment promotes the buildup of glyceraldehyde 3-phosphate, a metabolite which leads to S-lactate modification of cysteine sensor residues of KEAP1, resulting in NRF2 dependent transcription. This work identifies a novel posttranslational modification of cysteine derived from a reactive central carbon metabolite and helps further define the complex relationship between metabolism and the oxidative stress sensing machinery of the cell.

Proteome-wide analysis of cysteine oxidation reveals metabolic sensitivity to redox stress, PART 1

Project description:Reactive oxygen species (ROS) are increasingly recognised as important regulators of cellular biology through the oxidative modification of protein cysteine residues. Comprehensive identification of redox-regulated proteins and cellular pathways are crucial to understand ROS-mediated events. Here, we present a new Stable Isotope Cysteine Labelling with IodoAcetamide (SICyLIA) MS-based proteomic workflow to assess protein cysteine oxidation in diverse cellular models and primary tissues. This approach informs on all possible cysteine oxidative modifications and achieves proteome-wide sensitivity with unprecedented depth without using enrichment steps. Our results suggest that acute and chronic oxidative stress cause metabolic adaptation through direct oxidation of metabolic and mitochondrial proteins. Analysis of chronically stressed fumarate hydratase-deficient mouse kidneys identified oxidation of proteins circulating in bio fluids, through which redox stress may affect whole-body physiology. Obtaining accurate peptide oxidation profiles from a complex organ using SICyLIA holds promise for future application to patient-derived samples in studies of human disease.
