  • The Cross-Talk Between Methylation and Phosphorylation in Lymphoid-Specific Helicase Drives Cancer Stem-Like Properties
    Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy www.nature.com/sigtrans ARTICLE OPEN The cross-talk between methylation and phosphorylation in lymphoid-specific helicase drives cancer stem-like properties Na Liu1,2,3, Rui Yang1,2, Ying Shi1,2, Ling Chen1,2, Yating Liu1,2, Zuli Wang1,2, Shouping Liu1,2, Lianlian Ouyang4, Haiyan Wang1,2, Weiwei Lai1,2, Chao Mao1,2, Min Wang1,2, Yan Cheng5, Shuang Liu4, Xiang Wang6, Hu Zhou7, Ya Cao1,2, Desheng Xiao1 and Yongguang Tao1,2,6 Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins, including chromatin modifiers, play crucial roles in the dynamic alteration of various protein properties and functions including stem-cell properties. However, the roles of Lymphoid-specific helicase (LSH), a DNA methylation modifier, in modulating stem-like properties in cancer are still not clearly clarified. Therefore, exploring PTMs modulation of LSH activity will be of great significance to further understand the function and activity of LSH. Here, we demonstrate that LSH is capable to undergo PTMs, including methylation and phosphorylation. The arginine methyltransferase PRMT5 can methylate LSH at R309 residue, meanwhile, LSH could as well be phosphorylated by MAPK1 kinase at S503 residue. We further show that the accumulation of phosphorylation of LSH at S503 site exhibits downregulation of LSH methylation at R309 residue, which eventually promoting stem-like properties in lung cancer. Whereas, phosphorylation-deficient LSH S503A mutant promotes the accumulation of LSH methylation at R309 residue and attenuates stem-like properties, indicating the critical roles of LSH PTMs in modulating stem-like properties. Thus, our study highlights the importance of the crosstalk between LSH PTMs in determining its activity and function in lung cancer stem-cell maintenance.

  • Citric Acid Cycle
    CHEM464 / Medh, J.D. The Citric Acid Cycle Citric Acid Cycle: Central Role in Catabolism • Stage II of catabolism involves the conversion of carbohydrates, fats and aminoacids into acetylCoA • In aerobic organisms, citric acid cycle makes up the final stage of catabolism when acetyl CoA is completely oxidized to CO2. • Also called Krebs cycle or tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle. • It is a central integrative pathway that harvests chemical energy from biological fuel in the form of electrons in NADH and FADH2 (oxidation is loss of electrons). • NADH and FADH2 transfer electrons via the electron transport chain to final electron acceptor, O2, to form H2O. Entry of Pyruvate into the TCA cycle • Pyruvate is formed in the cytosol as a product of glycolysis • For entry into the TCA cycle, it has to be converted to Acetyl CoA. • Oxidation of pyruvate to acetyl CoA is catalyzed by the pyruvate dehydrogenase complex in the mitochondria • Mitochondria consist of inner and outer membranes and the matrix • Enzymes of the PDH complex and the TCA cycle (except succinate dehydrogenase) are in the matrix • Pyruvate translocase is an antiporter present in the inner mitochondrial membrane that allows entry of a molecule of pyruvate in exchange for a hydroxide ion. 1 CHEM464 / Medh, J.D. The Citric Acid Cycle The Pyruvate Dehydrogenase (PDH) complex • The PDH complex consists of 3 enzymes. They are: pyruvate dehydrogenase (E1), Dihydrolipoyl transacetylase (E2) and dihydrolipoyl dehydrogenase (E3). • It has 5 cofactors: CoASH, NAD+, lipoamide, TPP and FAD. CoASH and NAD+ participate stoichiometrically in the reaction, the other 3 cofactors have catalytic functions.

  • The Origins of Protein Phosphorylation
    historical perspective The origins of protein phosphorylation Philip Cohen The reversible phosphorylation of proteins is central to the regulation of most aspects of cell func- tion but, even after the first protein kinase was identified, the general significance of this discovery was slow to be appreciated. Here I review the discovery of protein phosphorylation and give a per- sonal view of the key findings that have helped to shape the field as we know it today. he days when protein phosphorylation was an abstruse backwater, best talked Tabout between consenting adults in private, are over. My colleagues no longer cringe on hearing that “phosphorylase kinase phosphorylates phosphorylase” and their eyes no longer glaze over when a “”kinase kinase kinase” is mentioned. This is because protein phosphorylation has gradu- ally become an integral part of all the sys- tems they are studying themselves. Indeed it would be difficult to find anyone today who would disagree with the statement that “the reversible phosphorylation of proteins regu- lates nearly every aspect of cell life”. Phosphorylation and dephosphorylation, catalysed by protein kinases and protein phosphatases, can modify the function of a protein in almost every conceivable way; for Carl and Gerty Cori, the 1947 Nobel Laureates.

Inhibition of this pathway via JAK inhibitors (JAKinibs) is therefore an attractive therapeutic strategy underlined by Ruxolitinib (JAK1/2 inhibitor) being approved for the treatment of myeloproliferative neoplasms. As a consequence of the crucial role of the JAK-STAT pathway in the regulation of immune responses, inhibition of JAKs suppresses the immune system. This review article provides a thorough overview of the current knowledge on JAKinibs’ effects on immune cells in the context of hematological malignancies. We also discuss the potential use of JAKinibs for the treatment of diseases in which lymphocytes are the source of the malignancy.

Isoforms of all three enzymes have been enzyme in the pathway leading to formation of ubiquitin- described (11-14, 19). protein conjugates. El exists as two isoforms in human cells Obviously, ubiquitin conjugation must be a regulated pro- which are separable by electrophoresis. These isoforms mi- cess. Only certain proteins are recognized by the conjugating grate with apparent molecular sizes of 110 kDa and 117 kDa enzymes, and some are targets for conjugation only under in SDS/polyacrylamide gels. Immunoprecipitation ofEl from certain environmental conditions (15, 16) or during specific lysates of HeLa cells metabolically labeled with [32P]phos- phases of the cell cycle (17). Yet little is known about how this phate indicated the presence of a phosphorylated form of El regulation is accomplished. which migrates at 117 kDa. Phospho amino acid analysis Previous reports demonstrated that El can undergo in vitro identified serine as the phosphorylated residue in El. Phos- phosphorylation (18) and that it exists as two isoforms in phorylated El was also detected in normal and transformed human cells (19). These were designated "ElllOkDa" and cells from another human cell line.
