TGM2-Mediated Histone Transglutamination is Dictated by Steric Accessibility

ABSTRACT: Histone monoaminylation is a new class of chromatin post-translational modification whereby glutamines are transamidated by tissue transglutaminase 2 (TGM2). Initial studies of these marks have identified serotonylation and dopaminylation on H3Q5, suggesting the modification is a marker of active chromatin. However, little work has been conducted to understand the regulation of TGM2-mediated monoaminylation of chromatin. Here, we employed a highly sensitive TGM2 assay using the small molecule biotin-cadaverine as an acyl-acceptor substrate. In doing so, we discovered that, in addition to H3Q5, H3Q19 and H2A.ZQ123 and Q124 are glutaminyl substrates for TGM2 in vitro. Modification of these residues occurs in a sequence independent manner, with the primary determining factor for substrate selectivity being steric accessibility. We demonstrated that moving substrate glutamines near the histone fold domain turns them into non-substrates. Furthermore, we found that steric accessibility of glutamines appears to be controlled by higher order chromatin structures. Using nucleosome arrays as substrates, we successfully showed that formation of chromatin fibers in vitro reduces levels of monoaminylation. We then successfully extended these findings to a cell based system, showing that TGM2 is not enriched in heterochromatin and that H3Q5 serotonylation and H3K9me3 are mutually exclusive marks. In total, our results strongly suggest that TGM2, and monoaminylation, are excluded from heterochromatin based on steric accessibility

Histone monoaminylation dynamics are regulated by a single enzyme and promote neural rhythmicity

Project description:Histone H3 monoaminylations at glutamine(Q) 5 represent important epigenetic markers in neurons that play critical roles in the mediation of permissive gene expression. We previously demonstrated that H3Q5 serotonylation(ser) and dopaminylation(dop) are catalyzed by the Transglutaminase 2 (TGM2) enzyme. Here, we identified a new class of histone monoaminylation, H3Q5 histaminylation(his), which displayed dynamic diurnal expression in brain and contributed to neural rhythmicity. We found that H3Q5his, unlike H3Q5ser, electrostatically inhibited recruitment of the “reader” protein WDR5 and attenuated MLL1 methyltransferase activity on H3 lysine(K) 4. We determined that H3Q5 monoaminylation dynamics are dictated by local monoamine concentrations, which are sensed by TGM2. This noncanonical mechanism indicated that histone monoaminylations can be established and removed by a single enzyme based upon its sensing of cellular microenvironments.

Selective Inhibitors of mTORC1 Activate 4EBP1 and Suppress Tumor Growth

Project description:The clinical benefit of current mTOR inhibitors is limited, perhaps reflecting their intrinsic pharmacological profiles. Rapamycin analogs selectively inhibit mTORC1, but fail to suppress phosphorylation of the mTORC1 substrate 4EBP1, a translational repressor that is a key driver of oncogenic mTORC1 signaling. mTOR kinase active-site inhibitors fully suppress mTORC1 and phosphorylation of its substrates, but are active against mTORC2 and additional kinases, potentially contributing to tolerability limitations. The prototype bi-steric inhibitor RapaLink-1 exploits the selective mTORC1 interactions of rapamycin and the broad mTOR kinase inhibitory effects of an active-site inhibitor, through covalent linkage of the two pharmacophores to achieve complete mTORC1/2 inhibition. We demonstrate that the anti-proliferative activity of RapaLink-1 is dependent upon mTORC1 and suppression of 4EBP1 phosphorylation. Using a rational design strategy, we tuned the affinities of the rapamycin core and ATP-mimetic moieties to create novel bi-steric inhibitors with enhanced mTORC1 selectivity and potency against 4EBP1 phosphorylation. mTORC1-selective bi-steric compounds produced durable inhibition of 4EBP1 phosphorylation in vitro and in vivo, and drove tumor regressions at well-tolerated doses in xenograft models of breast cancer.

Aspartate Residues Far From the Active Site Drive O-GlcNAc Transferase Substrate Selection

Project description:Abstract: O-GlcNAc is an abundant post-translational modification found on nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins in all metazoans. This modification regulates a wide variety of cellular processes, and elevated O-GlcNAc levels have been implicated in cancer progression. A single essential enzyme, O-GlcNAc transferase (OGT), is responsible for all nucleocytoplasmic O-GlcNAcylation. Understanding how this enzyme chooses its substrates is critical for understanding, and potentially manipulating, its functions. Here we use protein microarray technology and proteome-wide glycosylation profiling to show that conserved aspartate residues in the tetratricopeptide repeat (TPR) lumen of OGT drive substrate selection. Changing these residues to alanines alters substrate selectivity and unexpectedly increases rates of protein glycosylation. Our findings support a model where sites of glycosylation for many OGT substrates are determined by TPR domain contacts to substrate side chains five to fifteen residues C-terminal to the glycosite. In addition to guiding design of inhibitors that target OGT's TPR domain, this information will inform efforts to engineer substrates to explore biological functions.

Confined Migration Induces Heterochromatin Formation and Alters Chromatin Accessibility

Project description:We show that confined migration results in predominantly decreased chromatin accessibility, consistent with the increased heterochromatin marks staining. A small fraction of ATAC-seq peaks shows increased accessibility at gene promoters of diverse pathways, such as chromatin silencing, tumor invasion, and DNA damage response; whereas the majority shows decreased accessibility at intergenic regions near centromeres or telomeres, suggesting possible heterochromatin spreading.

Piwi modulates chromatin accessibility by regulating multiple factors including histone H1 to repress transposons

Project description:PIWI-interacting RNAs (piRNAs) mediate transposable element (TE) silencing at the transcriptional or post-transcriptional level in animal gonads. In the Drosophila ovary, Piwiâ??piRNA complexes (Piwiâ??piRISCs) repress TE transcription by modifying the chromatin state, such as H3K9me3 marks. Here, we demonstrate that Piwi physically interacts with linker histone H1. Depletion of Piwi decreases H1 density on target loci, leading to TE derepression. Loss of H1 results in gain of chromatin accessibility at target loci without affecting H3K9me3 and heterochromatin protein 1a (HP1a) density at the same loci. Piwi-mediated TE silencing also requires HP1a by regulating chromatin accessibility through its association with target loci. Thus, Piwiâ??piRISCs require both H1 and HP1a to repress TEs, and the silencing is correlated with the state of chromatin formation rather than H3K9me3 marks. These findings suggest that Piwiâ??piRISCs regulate the interaction of chromatin components with target loci to maintain silencing of the TE state through the modulation of chromatin accessibility. RNA levels, H1 and H3K9me3 occupancy, chromatin accessibility, and Piwi-associated small RNA levels in ovarian somatic cells (OSC) depleted of piRNA pathway components and H1.

System-wide identification of enzyme substrates by thermal analysis (SIESTA)

Project description:Despite the immense importance of enzyme-substrate reactions, there is a lack of generic and unbiased tools for identifying the molecular components participating in these reactions on a cellular level. Here we developed a universal method called System-wide Identification of Enzyme Substrates by Thermal Analysis (SIESTA). The approach assumes that enzymatic post-translational modification of substrate proteins changes their thermal stability, and applies the concept of specificity to reveal potential substrates. We have already shown the applicability of SIESTA in substrate discovery for TXNRD1 and PARP10 enzymes. SIESTA successfully identified several known and novel substrate candidates for protein kinase B (AKT1). A number of putative substrates were confirmed by functional assays. Wider application of SIESTA can enhance our understanding of the role of enzymes in homeostasis and disease, open new opportunities in investigating the effect of PTMs on protein stability, and facilitate drug discovery.

The loss of heterochromatin is associated with multiscale three-dimensional genome reorganization and aberrant transcription during cellular senescence

Project description:Heterochromatin remodeling is critical for various cell processes. In particular, the “loss of heterochromatin” phenotype in cellular senescence engages with the progress of aging and age-related disorders. Although biological processes of senescent cells including senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF) formation, chromosome compaction and entry into senescence have been closely associated with high-order chromatin structure. the relationship between the high-order chromatin organization and the loss of heterochromatin phenotype during senescence has not been fully understood. By using senescent and late senescent fibroblasts induced by DNA damage harboring the “loss of heterochromatin” phenotype, we observed progressive 3D reorganization of heterochromatin during senescence. Facultative and constitutive heterochromatin marked by H3K27me3 and H3K9me3, respectively, showed different alterations. Facultative heterochromatin tends to switch from the repressive B-compartment to the active A-compartment, whereas constitutive heterochromatin shows no significant changes at the compartment level but enhanced interactions between themselves. Interestingly, both types show increased chromatin accessibility and gene expression leakage during senescence. Furthermore, increased chromatin accessibility in potential CTCF binding sites accompanies by the establishment of novel loops in constitutive heterochromatin. Finally, we also observed aberrant expression of repetitive elements, including LTR (long terminal repeat) and satellite classes. Overall, facultative and constitutive heterochromatin show multiscale but distinct alterations in the 3D map, meanwhile they also share the same features of increased chromatin accessibility and gene expression leakage. This study provides an epigenomic map of heterochromatin reorganization during senescence.
