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 crotonylation (Kcr) is a newly discovered post-translational modification (PTM) existing in mammalian. To assess relevance in histone Kcr and genome, we performed on genomic localization analysis of histone Kcr by ChIP-seq analysis.

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: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:In this work, we detected lysinebutyrylation (Kbu) and crotonylation(Kcr) sites in rice histone proteins by mass spectrometry, and found both similar and specific acylation patterns compared with that in mammalian cells. Comparative analysis of genome-wide histone Kbu, Kcr, and H3K9ac in combination of RNA-sequencing revealed that a large number of rice genes are marked by both Kbu and Kcr, most of which overlap with H3K9ac and are active genes. Under starvation and submergence, Kbu andKcr appeared to be less dynamic than H3K9ac and the three marks displayed changes in different sets of genes. Kbu and Kcr seemed to have a function to poise stress-induced gene activation. The results suggest that histone Kbu and Kcr provide a platform for histone acetylation during gene activation and that the proportional mixture of distinct histone lysine acylations which are regulated by environmental cues and has functionally consequence in chromatin modification and gene expression in plants.

Project description:Histone lysine acylations are regulated by primary metabolism in animal cells. However, histone non-acetyl acylation is not yet studied in plants that have distinct primary metabolic pathways. In this work, we detected rice histone lysine butyrylation (Kbu) and crotonylation (Kcr) sites by mass spectrometry, and found both similar and specific acylation patterns compared with that in mammalian cells.

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.
