Project description:Citrullination refers to the conversion of arginine into the non-essential amino acid citrulline. Despite its importance in physiology and disease, global identification of citrullinated proteins and modification sites has remained challenging. Here, we combined quantitative mass spectrometry-based proteomics with differentiation of a leukemia cell line into neutrophil-like cells to reveal a comprehensive atlas of citrullination sites. Collectively, we identified 14.056 citrullination sites within 4.008 proteins and quantified their regulation in response to PADI4-specific inhibitor GSK484. Hereby we uncovered general principles about the mechanistic and biological aspects of citrullination function, while providing site-specific and quantitative regulation of thousands of PADI4 substrates, including signature histone marks and numerous non-histone events on transcriptional regulators and chromatin-related signaling effectors. Collectively, we describe systems attributes of the human citrullinome, reveal the existence of thousands citrullinated autoantigens in neutrophil cells, and provide a resource framework for investigating PADI4-specific functions and substrates for years to come.

Project description:HIV-1 infection establishes a reservoir of long-lived cells with integrated proviral DNA that can persist despite antiretroviral therapy (ART). The mechanisms governing the transcriptional regulation of the provirus are complex and incompletely understood. Here, we investigated the role of histone H3 citrullination, a post-translational modification catalyzed by protein-arginine deiminase type-4 (PADI4), in HIV-1 transcription and latency. We found that PADI4 inhibition by GSK484 reduced HIV-1 transcription after T cell activation in ex vivo cultures of CD4 T cells from viremic and ART treated people living with HIV-1 (PLWH). The effect was more pronounced in the viremic group. Using cell models of HIV-1 latency, we showed that PADI4-mediated citrullination of histone H3 occurred at the HIV-1 promoter upon T cell stimulation which facilitated proviral transcription. HIV-1 preferentially integrated into genomic regions marked by H3 citrullination and these integrated proviruses were less prone to latency compared to those in non-citrullinated chromatin. Inhibiting PADI4 led to compaction of the HIV-1 promoter chromatin and an increase of HP1a-covered heterochromatin, in a mechanism partly dependent on the HUSH complex. Our data reveal a novel mechanism of HIV-1 transcriptional regulation by PADI4 through H3 citrullination.

Project description:Peptidylarginine deiminase IV (PADI4) catalyzes the conversion of positively charged arginine and methylarginine residues to neutrally charged citrulline residues on histone tails. This activity has been linked to the repression of gene transcription on a limited number of genes. To broaden our knowledge of the regulatory potential of PADI4, we utilized chromatin immunoprecipitation coupled with promoter tiling array (ChIP-chip) to more comprehensively investigate the range of PADI4 target genes across the genome in MCF-7 cells. Results showed that PADI4 is enriched in the gene promoter regions near the transcription start sites (TSSs) and, surprisingly, this pattern of binding is primarily associated with actively transcribed genes. Computational analysis found Elk-1, a member of the ETS oncogene family, to be highly enriched around PADI4 binding sites and coimmunoprecipitation analysis then confirmed that Elk-1 physically associates with PADI4. The expression of two well characterized Elk-1 target genes, c-fos and egr-1, was then found to be inhibited following treatment of MCF-7 cells with a PADI4 specific inhibitor. The inhibitor also significantly reduced levels of acetylation at H4 lysine 5 at these promoters suggesting that the activating function of PADI4 at these target genes is mediated, in part, by interplay between histone citrullination and HAT-mediated acetylation. These findings greatly expand our knowledge of the role of PADI4 in gene regulation by defining a new role for PADI4 catalyzed histone citrullination in mediating gene transactivation. Two PADI4 ChIP-chip biological replicates from MCF-7 human breast cancer cells are included.

Project description:HIF-1 (Hypoxia-inducible factor 1) is the master regulator responding to hypoxic conditions. Here, we found that HIF-1A is citrullinated by peptidyl arginine deiminase 4 (PADI4) at arginine 698, promoting HIF-1A stabilization and thus HIF-1-driven tumor growth. The knockdown of PADI4 could dramatically decrease HIF-1 protein expression without affecting the mRNA level, and this could be rescued by the proteasome inhibitor MG132 treatment under hypoxia. And PADI4-HIF-1A interaction is critical for HIF-1A stability and tumor progression, depending on the enzymatic activity of PADI4 and the pocket structure of PADI4. DHE, an FDA-approved agent for the treatment of migraine, was found serve as a potential antitumor agent throgh disrupting PADI4-HIF-1A interaction and suppressing HIF-1A stability. Taken together, we found the anti-tumor effect of DHE due to its effect on blocking PADI4-HIF-1A interaction and downregulating HIF-1A pathway in cancer cells. To figure out the influence of DHE on liver cancer cell under hypoxia, we treated Hep3B cell lines with two does DHE in 6 hours under Hypoxia and extracted mRNA for furthur RNA seq.

Project description:Abstract: Peptidylarginine deiminases (PADs or PADIs) catalyze the conversion of positively charged arginine to neutral citrulline, which alters target protein structure and function. It is well established that a gonadotropin releasing hormone agonist (GnRHa) stimulates PAD2-catalyzed histone citrullination to epigenetically regulate gonadotropin gene expression in the gonadotrope derived LBT2 cell line. However, PADs are also found in the cytoplasm. Given this, we used mass spectrometry to identify additional non-histone proteins that are citrullinated following GnRHa stimulation and characterize the temporal dynamics of this modification. Our results show that actin and tubulin are rapidly citrullinated, which led us to hypothesize that GnRHa might induce their citrullination to modulate cytoskeletal dynamics and architecture. Data shows that 10 nM GnRHa induces citrullination of beta-actin with maximal levels occurring at 10 minutes. The level of beta-actin citrullination is reduced in the presence of the pan-PAD inhibitor bi-phenyl-benzimidazole-Cl-amidine (BB-ClA), which also prevents GnRHa induced actin reorganization in dispersed mouse gonadotrope cells. GnRHa induces citrullination of beta-tubulin with elevated levels occurring at 30 minutes; similarly to beta-actin, this response is attenuated in the presence of BB-ClA. To examine the functional consequence of beta-tubulin citrullination, we utilized fluorescently tagged end binding protein 1 (EB1-GFP) to track the growing plus end of microtubules (MT) in real time in transfected LBT2 cells. Time-lapse confocal microscopy of EB1-GFP reveals that MT average lifetime increases following 30 minutes of GnRHa treatment, but this increase is attenuated by PAD inhibition. Taken together, our data suggest that GnRHa induced citrullination alters actin reorganization and MT lifetime in gonadotrope cells.

Project description:Peptidylarginine deiminase (PADI) 2 catalyzes the posttranslational conversion of peptidyl-arginine to peptidyl-citrulline, a process called citrullination. However, the exact function of PADI2 in bone development and bone homeostasis remains unknown. In this study, we found that Padi2 deficiency lead to loss of bone mass and cleidocranial dysplasia (CCD)-like phenotype with delayed calvarial ossification and clavicular hypoplasia due to impaired osteoblast differentiation. Mechanistically, Padi2 depletion drastically reduced RUNX2 protein level and PADI2 stabilized RUNX2 from ubiquitin-proteasomal degradation. Furthermore, we identified a new modification at RUNX2, citrullination of arginine and its conversion to citrulline by PADI2. PADI2 citrullinates RUNX2 via a direct physical interaction and the citrullination sites at RUNX2 by PADI2 were identified by high-resolution liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) analysis. Interestingly, in mouse RUNX2 isoform 1 (528 a.a), loss of R381, a citrullination site by PADI2, drastically reduced RUNX2 protein levels, indicating that the citrullination of RUNX2 by PADI2 is required for the maintenance of RUNX2 protein stability. Collectively, our study demonstrates that PADI2-mediated citrullination play key roles in bone formation and bone homeostasis. Also, CCD may result from functional defects of RUNX2 by Padi2 deficiency. These insights into the role of PADI2 in postnatal bone formation and homeostasis and CCD pathogenesis may assist in the development of new therapies for bone diseases including CCD.

Project description:Protein citrullination modification plays a pivotal role in the pathogenesis of rheumatoid arthritis (RA), and anti-citrullinated protein antibodies (ACPAs) are extensively employed for clinical diagnosis of RA. However, there remains limited understanding regarding specific citrullinated proteins and their implications in the progression of RA. In this study, we screened and verified insulin-like growth factor-2 mRNA binding protein 1 (IGF2BP1) as a novel citrullinated protein and R167 was the primary citrullination site. Functional verification showed that citrullination at the R167 site of IGF2BP1 promoted the proliferation, migration and invasion of RA fibroblast-like synoviocytes (RA-FLSs). To further explore the specific downstream target of citrullinated IGF2BP1, RNA sequencing was conducted in this study.

Project description:Citrullination, the deimination of arginine residues into citrulline, has been implicated in the aetiology of several diseases. In multiple sclerosis (MS), citrullination is thought to be a major driver of pathology, through hypercitrullination and destabilization of myelin. As such, inhibition of citrullination has been suggested as a therapeutical strategy for MS. Here we show that citrullination by peptidylarginine deiminase 2 (PADI2) is in contrast required for normal oligodendrocyte differentiation, myelination and motor function. We identify several targets for PADI2, including not only myelin-related proteins, but also several chromatin-associated proteins, implicating PADI2 in epigenetic regulation. Accordingly, we observe that PADI2 inhibition and its knockdown affect chromatin accessibility and prevent the upregulation of genes involved in oligodendrocyte differentiation. Moreover, mice lacking PADI2, display motoric dysfunction and a decreased number of myelinated axons in the corpus callosum. Our study demonstrates that citrullination is required for oligodendrocyte lineage progression and myelination and thus its targeted activation in the oligodendrocyte lineage might be beneficial in the context of remyelination in diseases as MS.

Project description:Multiple myeloma (MM), an incurable plasma cell malignancy, requires localisation within the bone marrow in order to survive and proliferate. Interactions between the malignant plasma cell and bone marrow mesenchymal stem cell (BMMSC) are thought to be a critical determinant of this requirement, and include both physical and chemical components. There is increasing evidence that the phenotype of the BMMSC is stably altered in patients with MM. More recently, it has been suggested that this phenotypic transformation is also observed in patients with the benign condition known as monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance (MGUS), which almost always precedes MM. In this study, we describe a mechanism by which the peptidyl arginine deiminase 2 (PADI2) enzyme plays an key role in the control of malignant plasma cell phenotype by BMMSCs. PADI enzymes deiminate (citrullinate) peptidyl arginine residues, changing the function or interactions made by the target protein. We identified PADI2 as one of the most highly upregulated transcripts in BMMSCs from both MGUS and MM patients, and that through citrullination of arginine residue 26 of histone H3, it induces the upregulation of interleukin-6 (IL-6) expression. This directly leads to the acquisition of resistance to the chemotherapeutic agent, bortezomib, by malignant plasma cells. We therefore describe a novel mechanism by which BMMSC dysfunction in patients with MGUS and MM directly leads to pro-malignancy signalling through the citrullination of histone H3R26. 30 samples, 10 from each of three categories (control, MGUS, MM)
