Molecular Details of the Interaction of CBP30 with p300, BRD4, and BRD2. To understand the structural mechanisms for the selectivity of CBP30 for specific BET family members, we determined the cocrystal structure of CBP30 with the p300, BRD4(1), and BRD2(2) bromodomains. Crystals of the CBP30/p300 complex diffracted to 1.05 Å resolution (Table S3). As observed in the CBP bromodomain cocrystal structure (PDB ID code 4nr7), the CBP isoxazole oxygen acted as an acetyl-lysine mimetic moiety forming hydrogen bonds to the conserved asparagine (N1132) and a water-mediated interaction with the hydroxyl group of Y1089ofp300(Fig.2A). However, and in contrast to the CBP complex, we did not observe an induced fit binding mode of R1137, which has been reported to flip into the acetyl-lysine binding side forming a cation-π interaction. The reason for this difference in ligand coordination is due to the presence of a neighboring tyrosine Fig. 1. CBP30 is a selective and potent inhibitor of CBP/p300.

As readers of acetylated lysine on nucleosomal histones, bromod- omain proteins are poised to activate gene expression, and often promote cancer progression. We examined changes in gene expression patterns that are observed in bromodomain-containing proteins and associated with specific cancer types. We also mapped the protein–protein interaction network for the human bromodomain-containing proteins, discuss the cellular roles of these epigenetic regu- lators as part of nine different functional groups, and identify bromodomain-specific mechanisms in cancer development. Lastly, we summarize emerging strategies to target bromodomain proteins in cancer therapy, including those that may be essential for overcoming resistance.

  • Differences for Ectopic Versus Eutopic Cells
    556 RBMO VOLUME 39 ISSUE 4 2019 ARTICLE Chemosensitivity and chemoresistance in endometriosis – differences for ectopic versus eutopic cells BIOGRAPHY Andres Salumets is Professor of Reproductive Medicine at the University of Tartu, and Scientific Head at the Competence Centre on Health Technologies, Tartu, Estonia. He has been involved in assisted reproduction for 20 years, first as an embryologist and later as a researcher. His major interests are endometriosis, endometrial biology and implantation. Darja Lavogina1,2,*, Külli Samuel1, Arina Lavrits1,3, Alvin Meltsov1, Deniss Sõritsa1,4,5, Ülle Kadastik6, Maire Peters1,4, Ago Rinken2, Andres Salumets1,4,7, 8 KEY MESSAGE Akt/PKB inhibitor GSK690693, CK2 inhibitor ARC-775, MAPK pathway inhibitor sorafenib, proteasome inhibitor bortezomib, and microtubule-depolymerizing toxin MMAE showed higher cytotoxicity in eutopic cells. In contrast, 10 µmol/l of the anthracycline toxin doxorubicin caused cellular death in ectopic cells more effectively than in eutopic cells, underlining the potential of doxorubicin in endometriosis research. ABSTRACT Research question: Endometriosis is a common gynaecological disease defined by the presence of endometrium-like tissue outside the uterus. This complex disease, often accompanied by severe pain and infertility, causes a significant medical and socioeconomic burden; hence, novel strategies are being sought for the treatment of endometriosis. Here, we set out to explore the cytotoxic effects of a panel of compounds to find toxins with different efficiency in eutopic versus ectopic cells, thus highlighting alterations in the corresponding molecular pathways. Design: The effect on cellular viability of 14 compounds was established in a cohort of paired eutopic and ectopic endometrial stromal cell samples from 11 patients.

Function of Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal Motif Proteins (bets) in Gata1-Mediated Transcription Abstract Bromodomain and Extra-Terminal motif proteins (BETs) associate with acetylated histones and transcription factors. While pharmacologic inhibition of this ubiquitous protein family is an emerging therapeutic approach for neoplastic and inflammatory disease, the mechanisms through which BETs act remain largely uncharacterized. Here we explore the role of BETs in the physiologically relevant context of erythropoiesis driven by the transcription factor GATA1. First, we characterize functions of the BET family as a whole using a pharmacologic approach. We find that BETs are broadly required for GATA1-mediated transcriptional activation, but that repression is largely BET-independent. BETs support activation by facilitating both GATA1 occupancy and transcription downstream of its binding. Second, we test the specific olesr of BETs BRD2, BRD3, and BRD4 in GATA1-activated transcription. BRD2 and BRD4 are required for efficient anscriptionaltr activation by GATA1. Despite co-localizing with the great majority of GATA1 binding sites, we find that BRD3 is not equirr ed for GATA1-mediated transcriptional activation.

Clinical Epigenetics (2020) 12:9 https://doi.org/10.1186/s13148-019-0803-1 RESEARCH Open Access DNA methylation changes in Down syndrome derived neural iPSCs uncover co- dysregulation of ZNF and HOX3 families of transcription factors Loora Laan1†, Joakim Klar1†, Maria Sobol1, Jan Hoeber1, Mansoureh Shahsavani2, Malin Kele2, Ambrin Fatima1, Muhammad Zakaria1, Göran Annerén1, Anna Falk2, Jens Schuster1 and Niklas Dahl1* Abstract Background: Down syndrome (DS) is characterized by neurodevelopmental abnormalities caused by partial or complete trisomy of human chromosome 21 (T21). Analysis of Down syndrome brain specimens has shown global epigenetic and transcriptional changes but their interplay during early neurogenesis remains largely unknown. We differentiated induced pluripotent stem cells (iPSCs) established from two DS patients with complete T21 and matched euploid donors into two distinct neural stages corresponding to early- and mid-gestational ages. Results: Using the Illumina Infinium 450K array, we assessed the DNA methylation pattern of known CpG regions and promoters across the genome in trisomic neural iPSC derivatives, and we identified a total of 500 stably and differentially methylated CpGs that were annotated to CpG islands of 151 genes. The genes were enriched within the DNA binding category, uncovering 37 factors of importance for transcriptional regulation and chromatin structure. In particular, we observed regional epigenetic changes of the transcription factor genes ZNF69, ZNF700 and ZNF763 as well as the HOXA3, HOXB3 and HOXD3 genes. A similar clustering of differential methylation was found in the CpG islands of the HIST1 genes suggesting effects on chromatin remodeling. Conclusions: The study shows that early established differential methylation in neural iPSC derivatives with T21 are associated with a set of genes relevant for DS brain development, providing a novel framework for further studies on epigenetic changes and transcriptional dysregulation during T21 neurogenesis.

R. China Received January 6, 2016; Accepted March 21, 2016; Epub June 15, 2016; Published June 30, 2016 Abstract: Survivin is selectively up-regulated in various cancers including esophageal squamous cell carcinoma (ESCC). The underlying mechanism of survivin overexpression in cancers is needed to be further studied. In this study, we investigated the effect of EP300, a well known transcriptional coactivator, on survivin gene expression in human esophageal squamous cancer cell lines. We found that overexpression of EP300 was associated with strong repression of survivin expression at the mRNA and protein levels. Knockdown of EP300 increased the survivin ex- pression as indicated by western blotting and RT-PCR analysis. Furthermore, our results indicated that transcription- al repression mediated by EP300 regulates survivin expression levels via regulating the survivin promoter activity. Chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) analysis revealed that EP300 was associated with survivin gene promoter. When EP300 was added to esophageal squamous cancer cells, increased EP300 association was observed at the survivin promoter. But the acetylation level of histone H3 at survivin promoter didn’t change after RNAi-depletion of endogenous EP300 or after overexpression of EP300. These findings establish a negative regulatory role for EP300 in survivin expression.
