Project description:Lysine crotonylation on histones is a recently identified post-translational modification that has been demonstrated to associate with active promoters and to directly stimulate transcription.Given that crotonyl-CoA is essential for the acyl transfer reaction and it is a metabolic intermediate widely localized within the cell, we postulate that lysine crotonylation on non-histone proteins could also widely exist. Using specific antibody to enrich crotonylated lysine(Kcr) peptides followed by high-resolution mass spectrometry analysis reveals that crotonylated proteins and lysine residues. Bioinformatic analysis reveals that crotonylated proteins are particularly enriched in the nuclei, that lysine crotonylation alters level of the modified proteins in the chromatin and that cotonylation of a subset of proteins influences DNA replication and cell cycle. Taken together, our data indicate that lysine crotonylation could be induced in a large number of proteins other than histones and this type of acyl modification could play an important role regulating multiple cellular processes.

Project description:We report the identification of 67 previously undescribed histone modifications, increasing the current number of known histone marks by about 70%. We further investigated one of the marks, lysine crotonylation (Kcr), confirming that it represents an evolutionarily-conserved histone posttranslational modification. The unique structure and genomic localization of histone Kcr suggest that it is mechanistically and functionally different from histone lysine acetylation (Kac). Specifically, in both human somatic and mouse male germ cell genomes, histone Kcr marks either active promoters or potential enhancers. In male germinal cells immediately following meiosis, Kcr is enriched on sex chromosomes and specifically marks testis-specific genes, including a significant proportion of X-linked genes that escape sex chromosome inactivation in haploid cells. These results therefore dramatically extend the repertoire of histone PTM sites and designate Kcr as a specific mark of active sex chromosome-linked genes in postmeiotic male germ cells. 2 histone marks (pan-lysine acetylation and pan-lysine crotonylation) were studied in 1 human cell type and 2 mouse cell types using ChIP-Seq. Input was sequenced for each cell type as a control. Pan-anti_Kac and pan-anti_Kcr antibodies were custom developed with PTM BioLab, Co., Ltd (Chicago, IL).

Project description:Histone lysine acetylation and methylation regulate gene transcription through coordination of chromatin structure and transcriptional activity. However, our understanding of the role of histones in gene regulation is far from complete, in part due to newly discovered novel histone modifications, whose functions are yet to be uncovered1. Here we report that histone H3 lysine 27 crotonylation (H3K27cr) is selectively recognized by the YEATS domain of GAS41 in association with SIN3a-HDAC1/2 co-repressor complex for gene transcriptional repression. The GAS41 YEATS domain dimer binds proto-oncogenic transcription factor c-Myc, which recruits GAS41/SIN3a-HDAC1/2 complex to target gene loci in chromatin such as cell cycle inhibitor p21. Transcriptional de-repression of p21, directed by tumor suppressor p53 upon doxorubicin stimulation, entails dissociation of c-Myc/GAS41/SIN3a-HDAC1/2 complex from chromatin, reduced H3K27 crotonylation, and consequentially increased H3K27 acetylation at p21 locus. GAS41 knockout or H3K27cr binding depletion with CRISPR/Cas9 results in p21 activation, cell cycle arrest and tumor growth inhibition in mice. Our study explains mechanistically causal effect of GAS41 and c-Myc gene amplification on down-regulation of p21 in human colorectal cancer, and suggests GAS41 as an anti-cancer target. We propose that H3K27 crotonylation represents a previously unrecognized, distinct chromatin state for gene transcriptional repression in contrast to H3K27 trimethylation for long-term transcriptional silencing and H3K27 acetylation for transcriptional activation.

Project description:The rostral ventrolateral medulla (RVLM), a part of the medullary reticular formation, plays a major role in several physiological responses, including cardiovascular and sympathetic nervous system functions. Although aging causes disturbances in the responses of these physiological systems, RVLM involvement in these age-related changes is not clear. Previous work using high-throughput gene expression analysis of the RVLM in aged animals suggested that chemical neurotransmission-related genes might be downregulated with advancing age. Since the RVLM function involves a balance of inhibitory and excitatory inputs, which is largely mediated by gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) and excitatory amino acid (EAA) neurotransmission, we hypothesized that aging is associated with altered excitatory and/or inhibitory neurotransmission-related gene expression in the RVLM. To test this hypothesis, we micropunched an RVLM-containing area from young (3–5 months), middle-aged (12–14 months), and aged (22–26 months) Fischer 344 male rats. RNA purified from these micropunches was analyzed using GABA and Glutamate RT2 Profiler PCR arrays (n= 8–10). In addition, the expression of selected genes was validated at the RNA level using TaqMan® based- qPCR and at the protein level using western blotting. All the genes that displayed significant differential expression (1.5-fold, p < .05, FDR < .05) were identified to be downregulated in the RVLM of aged and middle-aged rats compared to young rats. Among the downregulated genes, the percentage of glutamate neurotransmission-related genes was higher than GABA neurotransmission-related genes. Solute carrier family 1 member 6 (Slc1a6) gene showed the highest fold downregulation at the RNA level in the RVLM of aged compared to young rats, and its protein product, Excitatory amino acid transporter 4 (EAAT4), showed a downregulatory trend in the RVLM of aged and middle-aged rats. These results suggest that molecular constituents of both GABA and glutamate neurotransmission might be altered in the RVLM of aged and middle-aged rats, and the changes in glutamate neurotransmission might be more prominent. Investigating age-associated anatomical and functional changes in RVLM GABA and glutamate neurotransmission might provide a foundation for understanding the effects of aging on physiological function.

Project description:While recent work has identified roles for cytokines and inflammation in the regulation of neural activity, the capacity for cell intrinsic innate immune signaling within neurons to influence neurotransmission remains poorly understood. However, the existing evidence linking immune signaling with neuronal activity suggests that modulation of neurotransmission may serve previously undefined roles in host protection and pathogen control within the central nervous system. Here, we identify a specialized function for RIPK3, a kinase traditionally associated with necroptotic cell death, in preserving neuronal survival during neurotropic flavivirus infection through the suppression of excitatory neurotransmission. We show that RIPK3 coordinates transcriptomic changes in neurons that suppress neuronal glutamate signaling, thereby desensitizing neurons to excitotoxic cell death. These effects occur independently of the traditional functions of RIPK3 in promoting MLKL-dependent necroptosis and NFκB-mediated inflammatory transcription. Instead, RIPK3 promotes phosphorylation of the key neural regulatory kinase CAMKII, which in turn activates the transcription factor CREB to drive a neuroprotective transcriptional program and suppress deleterious glutamatergic signaling. These findings identify an unexpected function for a canonical cell death protein in promoting neuronal survival during viral infection through the modulation of neuronal activity, highlighting new mechanisms of neuroimmune crosstalk.

Project description:Lysine crotonylation of histone proteins is a recently-identified post-translational modification with multiple cellular functions. However, lysine crotonylation of non-histone proteins in fruit cells has not yet been studied. Using high-resolution LC-MS/MS coupled with highly sensitive immune-affinity antibody analysis, a global crotonylation proteome analysis of papaya (Carica papaya L.) fruit was performed. In total, 2,120 proteins with 5,995 lysine crotonylation sites were discovered, among which eight conserved motifs were identified. Bioinformatic analysis linked crotonylated proteins to multiple metabolic pathways, including biosynthesis of antibiotics, carbon metabolism, biosynthesis of amino acids, and glycolysis. Notably, 40 crotonylated enzymes involved in various amino acid metabolism pathways were identified, suggesting a potential conserved function for crotonylation in the regulation of amino acid metabolism. Numerous crotonylation sites were identified in proteins involved in hormone signaling and cell wall-related pathways, indicating a role for crotonylation in the regulation of fruit ripening in papaya. Our comprehensive crotonylation proteome indicates diverse functions for lysine crotonylation in fruit ripening-related proteins.
