Abstract Clear cell renal cell carcinoma (ccRCC) is one of the most common types of malignancy of the urinary system. The pathogenesis and effective diagnosis of ccRCC have become popular topics for research in the previous decade. In the current study, an integrated bioinformatics analysis was performed to identify core genes associated in ccRCC. An expression dataset (GSE105261) was downloaded from the Gene Expression Omnibus database, and included 26 ccRCC and 9 normal kideny samples. Assessment of the microarray dataset led to the recognition of differentially expressed genes (DEGs), which was subsequently used for pathway and gene ontology (GO) enrichment analysis. -

Bottom-up mass spectrometry (MS) can identify histone PTMs, whereas intact protein analysis by MS can detect species missed by bottom-up approaches. We used a novel approach of online two-dimensional liquid chromatography-tandem MS with high-resolution reversed-phase liquid chromatography (RPLC), alternating electron transfer dissociation (ETD) and collision-induced dissociation (CID) on precursor ions to maximize fragmentation of uniquely modified species. The first online RPLC separation sorted histone families, then RPLC or weak cation exchange hydrophilic interaction liquid chromatography (WCX-HILIC) separated species heavily clad in PTMs. Tentative identifications were assigned by matching proteoform masses to predicted theoretical masses that were verified with tandem MS. We used this innovative approach for histone-intact protein PTM mapping (HiPTMap) to identify and quantify proteoforms purified from CD8 T cells after in vivo influenza infection. -

Above normal levels of NO Chaperone have beneficial protective effects for example in the cardiovascular system, but also contribute to the pathophysiology inthe Ubiquitin context of inflammatory diseases, and to aging and neurodegeneration in the nervous system. The effect specificity relieson Aging the functional and spatial specificity of the NOS isoenzymes, and on the duality of two major signaling mechanisms (i) Proteostasis activation of soluble guanylycylase (sGC)-dependent cGMP production and (ii) direct S-nitrosylation of redox sensitive cy- Nitrosylation steines of susceptible proteins. The present review summarizes the functional implications of S-nitrosylation in the context of proteostasis, and focuses on two NO target proteins, heat shock cognate of 70 kDa (Hsc70/HSPA8) and the ubiquitin 2 ligase (UBE2D), because both are modified on functionally critical cysteines and are key regulators of chaperone mediated and assisted autophagy and proteasomal protein degradation. SNO modifications of these candidates are associated with protein accumulations and adoption of a senescent phenotype of neuronal cells suggesting that S-nitrosylations of protein homeo- static machineries contribute to aging phenomena. 1.

The same has also encouraged the evaluation of multiple HDACi candidates in preclinical studies in cancer and other diseases as well as the FDA-approval towards clinical use for specific agents. In this review, we have discussed how the efficacy of immunotherapy can be leveraged by combining it with HDACis. We have also included a brief overview of the classification of HDACis as well as their various roles in physiological and pathophysiological scenarios to target key cellular processes promoting the initiation, establishment, and progression of cancer. Given the critical role of the tumor microenvironment (TME) towards the outcome of anticancer therapies, we have also discussed the effect of HDACis on different components of the TME. We then have gradually progressed into examples of specific pan-HDACis, class I HDACi, and selective HDACis that either have been incorporated into clinical trials or show promising preclinical effects for future consideration. -

Chromatin Remodeling in Mice Stephen Dolgner Advisor: Dr. Sundaresan Venkatachalam May 2005 ABSTRACT Controlling gene regulation is an important aspect in the life of cells that provides them the ability to carry out their functional roles within an organism. Unregulated or misregulated gene expression can lead to cell immortalization or death. Chromatin remodeling functions as a regulator for many important DNA functions including transcription, the first step of gene expression in cells. The Chromodomain-Helicase DNA binding domain gene family (CHD) is evolutionarily conserved and has distinct structural motifs that indicate a role in chromatin remodeling and DNA repair. The CHD proteins have both helicase activity, allowing the winding and unwinding of DNA, and an effect on histone acetylation through their role of the Nucleosome Remodeling and Histone Deacetylation (NuRD) complex. The NuRD complex participates in the deacetylation of chromatin histones, in addition to orchestrating ATP-dependent remodeling of the the chromatin structure. -

The Regulation of Carbamoyl Phosphate Synthetase-Aspartate Transcarbamoylase-Dihydroorotase (Cad) by Phosphorylation and Protein-Protein Interactions
THE REGULATION OF CARBAMOYL PHOSPHATE SYNTHETASE-ASPARTATE TRANSCARBAMOYLASE-DIHYDROOROTASE (CAD) BY PHOSPHORYLATION AND PROTEIN-PROTEIN INTERACTIONS Eric M. Wauson A dissertation submitted to the faculty of the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy in the Department of Pharmacology. Chapel Hill 2007 Approved by: Lee M. Graves, Ph.D. T. Kendall Harden, Ph.D. Gary L. Johnson, Ph.D. Aziz Sancar M.D., Ph.D. Beverly S. Mitchell, M.D. 2007 Eric M. Wauson ALL RIGHTS RESERVED ii ABSTRACT Eric M. Wauson: The Regulation of Carbamoyl Phosphate Synthetase-Aspartate Transcarbamoylase-Dihydroorotase (CAD) by Phosphorylation and Protein-Protein Interactions (Under the direction of Lee M. Graves, Ph.D.) Pyrimidines have many important roles in cellular physiology, as they are used in the formation of DNA, RNA, phospholipids, and pyrimidine sugars. The first rate- limiting step in the de novo pyrimidine synthesis pathway is catalyzed by the carbamoyl phosphate synthetase II (CPSase II) part of the multienzymatic complex Carbamoyl phosphate synthetase, Aspartate transcarbamoylase, Dihydroorotase (CAD). CAD gene induction is highly correlated to cell proliferation. Additionally, CAD is allosterically inhibited or activated by uridine triphosphate (UTP) or phosphoribosyl pyrophosphate (PRPP), respectively. The phosphorylation of CAD by PKA and ERK has been reported to modulate the response of CAD to allosteric modulators. While there has been much speculation on the identity of CAD phosphorylation sites, no definitive identification of in vivo CAD phosphorylation sites has been performed. Therefore, we sought to determine the specific CAD residues phosphorylated by ERK and PKA in intact cells. -
Structural and Functional Coordination of DNA and Histone Methylation
Structural and Functional Coordination of DNA and Histone Methylation Xiaodong Cheng Department of Biochemistry, Emory University School of Medicine, Atlanta, Georgia 30322 Correspondence: [email protected] SUMMARY One of the most fundamental questions in the control of gene expression in mammals is how epigenetic methylation patterns of DNA and histones are established, erased, and recognized. This central process in controlling gene expression includes coordinated covalent modifications of DNA and its associated histones. This article focuses on structural aspects of enzymatic activities of histone (arginine and lysine) methylation and demethylation and functional links between the methylation status of the DNA and histones. An interconnected network of methyltransferases, demethylases, and accessory proteins is responsible for changing or maintaining the modification status of specific regions of chromatin.

Epigenetics in Clinical Practice: the Examples of Azacitidine and Decitabine in Myelodysplasia and Acute Myeloid Leukemia
Leukemia (2013) 27, 1803–1812 & 2013 Macmillan Publishers Limited All rights reserved 0887-6924/13 www.nature.com/leu SPOTLIGHT REVIEW Epigenetics in clinical practice: the examples of azacitidine and decitabine in myelodysplasia and acute myeloid leukemia EH Estey Randomized trials have clearly demonstrated that the hypomethylating agents azacitidine and decitabine are more effective than ‘best supportive care’(BSC) in reducing transfusion frequency in ‘low-risk’ myelodysplasia (MDS) and in prolonging survival compared with BSC or low-dose ara-C in ‘high-risk’ MDS or acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with 21–30% blasts. They also appear equivalent to conventional induction chemotherapy in AML with 420% blasts and as conditioning regimens before allogeneic transplant (hematopoietic cell transplant, HCT) in MDS. Although azacitidine or decitabine are thus the standard to which newer therapies should be compared, here we discuss whether the improvement they afford in overall survival is sufficient to warrant a designation as a standard in treating individual patients. We also discuss pre- and post-treatment covariates, including assays of methylation to predict response, different schedules of administration, combinations with other active agents and use in settings other than active disease, in particular post HCT. We note that rational development of this class of drugs awaits delineation of how much of their undoubted effect in fact results from hypomethylation and reactivation of gene expression.
