Project description:Histone lysine β-hydroxybutyrylation (Kbhb) links ketone metabolism to gene transcription. However, the regulatory mechanism that kenogenesis-derived β-hydroxybutyrate, present throughout cells at low concentration, orchestrates this histone mark remains largely unknown. Here, we unveil a KAT7-ACSS2 module in which ACSS2 locally generates β-hydroxybutyryl-CoA (BHB-CoA), thereby bolsters histone Kbhb through fueling KAT7. Specifically, we show that KAT7 serves as a histone β-hydroxybutyryltransferase that prefers to modulate β-hydroxybutyrylation on histone H3 lysine 9 (H3K9bhb) by utilizing ACSS2-directed BHB-CoA. Moreover, ACSS2 senses β-hydroxybutyrate and translocates into the nucleus wherein it binds to and colocalizes with KAT7 at gene promoter regions. We further show that KAT7 coupled with ACSS2 regulates specific activation of genes associated with tumor cell survival through histone Kbhb. Collectively, our findings reveal that KAT7-ACSS2 module promotes histone β-hydroxybutyrylation by providing BHB-CoA locally, highlighting the importance of linking metabolic enzyme ACSS2 and KAT7 for histone Kbhb as well as offering insight into the regulatory mechanism of cellular metabolite on epigenetic modification and gene transcription.

Project description:Metabolic production of acetyl-CoA has been linked to histone acetylation and gene regulation, however the mechanisms are largely unknown. We show that the metabolic enzyme acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) is a critical and direct regulator of histone acetylation in neurons and of long-term mammalian memory. We observe increased nuclear ACSS2 in differentiating neurons in vitro. Genome-wide, ACSS2 binding corresponds with increased histone acetylation and gene expression of key neuronal genes. These data indicate that ACSS2 functions as a chromatin-bound co-activator to increase local concentrations of acetyl-CoA and to locally promote histone acetylation for transcription of neuron-specific genes. Remarkably, in vivo attenuation of hippocampal ACSS2 expression in adult mice impairs long-term spatial memory, a cognitive process reliant on histone acetylation. ACSS2 reduction in hippocampus also leads to a defect in upregulation of key neuronal genes involved in memory. These results reveal a unique connection between cellular metabolism and neural plasticity, and establish a link between generation of acetyl-CoA and neuronal chromatin regulation. Global survey of gene expression in CAD cells and differentiated CAD neurons following lentiviral knockdown of ACSS2 or ATP citrate lyase (ACL) (and control = scramble hairpin); survey of hippocampal gene expression changes associated with retrieval of fear memory, after ACSS2-AAV knockdown or in EGFP-AAV control (comparison of 0h vs. 1h post-memory retrieval).

Project description:To investigate the proteins bound to KAT7 in response to DNA damage, we harvested and extracted proteins after treating HCT116 with etoposide. The KAT7 protein and its binding protein were immunoprecipitated using KAT7-specific antibodies and analyzed by mass spectrometry. The mass spectra provided clues to study the function of KAT7 during DNA damage stress.

Project description:We report EGFR activation induces ERK-mediated S267 phosphorylation of acetyl-CoA synthetase 2 (ACSS2) and its subsequent nuclear translocation and complex formation with lysine acetyltransferase 2A (KAT2A).Consequently, KAT2A acts as a lactyltransferase to lactylate histone H3, leading to expression of Wnt/β-catenin, NFκB, and PD-L1, and brain tumor growth and immune evasion.

Project description:In the conventional model of transcriptional activation, transcription factors bind to response elements and recruit co-factors, including histone acetyltransferases. Contrary to this model, we show that the histone acetyltransferase KAT7 (HBO1/MYST2) is required genome-wide for histone H3 lysine 14 acetylation (H3K14ac). Examining neural stem cells, we found that KAT7 and H3K14ac were present not only at transcribed genes, but also at inactive genes, intergenic regions and in heterochromatin. KAT7 and H3K14ac were not required for the continued transcription of genes that were actively transcribed at the time of loss of KAT7, but indispensable for the activation of repressed genes. The absence of KAT7 abrogated neural stem cell plasticity, diverse differentiation pathways and cerebral cortex development. Reexpression of KAT7 restored stem cell developmental potential. Overexpression of KAT7 enhanced neuron and oligodendrocyte differentiation. Our data suggest that KAT7 prepares chromatin for transcriptional activation and is a prerequisite for gene activation.
