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. -

REGULATION OF CARDIOVASCULAR HOMEOSTASIS BY AUTOPHAGY by JING MU Under the Direction of Ming-hui Zou, MD/PhD ABSTRACT Macroautophagy (hereafter autophagy) is a fundamental cellular process that removes unnecessary or dysfunctional components. It allows the orderly degradation and recycling of cellular components. Mitophagy refers to the selective removal of damaged mitochondria via autophagy pathway. In addition to utilizing core autophagic machinery components, mitophagy exploits a variety of molecules, such as PTEN-induced putative kinase protein 1 (PINK1) and Parkin, to identify and eliminate damaged or superfluous mitochondria. Dysregulation of autophagy and mitophagy contributes to a variety of human disorders, including cardiovascular diseases, such as atherosclerosis and diabetic cardiomyopathy. Vascular smooth muscle cells (VSMCs) are a major component of the vascular media, and are vital for maintaining vessel homeostasis. Migration of VSMCs from the media to intima occurs during the development of atherosclerosis. Although alterations in autophagy activity have been reported in atherosclerosis, further investigation is required to delineate the mechanism by which autophagy regulates microtubule stability and cell migration. -

We utilized an informatics-based approach to develop a transcriptional signature of β-cell GA stress using existing RNA sequencing and microarray datasets generated using human islets from donors with diabetes and islets where type 1(T1D) and type 2 diabetes (T2D) had been modeled ex vivo. To narrow our results to GA-specific genes, we applied a filter set of 1,030 genes accepted as GA associated. -

Prokaryotic Ubiquitin-Like Protein Remains Intrinsically Disordered When Covalently Attached to Proteasomal Target Proteins Jonas Barandun1,2, Fred F
Barandun et al. BMC Structural Biology (2017) 17:1 DOI 10.1186/s12900-017-0072-1 RESEARCH ARTICLE Open Access Prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein remains intrinsically disordered when covalently attached to proteasomal target proteins Jonas Barandun1,2, Fred F. Damberger1, Cyrille L. Delley1, Juerg Laederach1, Frédéric H. T. Allain1 and Eilika Weber-Ban1* Abstract Background: The post-translational modification pathway referred to as pupylation marks proteins for proteasomal degradation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis and other actinobacteria by covalently attaching the small protein Pup (prokaryotic ubiquitin-like protein) to target lysine residues. In contrast to the functionally analogous eukaryotic ubiquitin, Pup is intrinsically disordered in its free form. Its unfolded state allows Pup to adopt different structures upon interaction with different binding partners like the Pup ligase PafA and the proteasomal ATPase Mpa. While the disordered behavior of free Pup has been well characterized, it remained unknown whether Pup adopts a distinct structure when attached to a substrate. Results: Using a combination of NMR experiments and biochemical analysis we demonstrate that Pup remains unstructured when ligated to two well-established pupylation substrates targeted for proteasomal degradation in Mycobacterium tuberculosis, malonyl transacylase (FabD) and ketopantoyl hydroxylmethyltransferase (PanB). Isotopically labeled Pup was linked to FabD and PanB by in vitro pupylation to generate homogeneously pupylated substrates suitable for NMR analysis. The single target lysine of PanB was identified by a combination of mass spectroscopy and mutational analysis. Chemical shift comparison between Pup in its free form and ligated to substrate reveals intrinsic disorder of Pup in the conjugate. Conclusion: When linked to the proteasomal substrates FabD and PanB, Pup is unstructured and retains the ability to interact with its different binding partners. -

Chlamydia is particularly intriguing from the perspective of cell biology because it is an obligate intracellular pathogen that manipulates host cellular pathways to ensure its proliferation and survival. This is achieved through a significant remodeling of the host cell’s internal architecture from within a membrane-bound vacuole, termed the inclusion. However, given a previous lack of tools to perform genetic analysis, the mechanisms by which Chlamydia induces host cellular changes remained unclear. -
Yichen – Structure and Allostery of the Chaperonin Groel. Allosteric

Saibil HR, Fenton WA, Clare DK, Horwich AL. Source Crystallography and Institute of Structural and Molecular Biology, Birkbeck College London, Malet Street, London WC1E 7HX, UK. Abstract Chaperonins are intricate allosteric machines formed of two back-to-back, stacked rings of subunits presenting end cavities lined with hydrophobic binding sites for nonnative polypeptides. Once bound, substrates are subjected to forceful, concerted movements that result in their ejection from the binding surface and simultaneous encapsulation inside a hydrophilic chamber that favors their folding. Here, we review the allosteric machine movements that are choreographed by ATP binding, which triggers concerted tilting and twisting of subunit domains. These movements distort the ring of hydrophobic binding sites and split it apart, potentially unfolding the multiply bound substrate. Then, GroES binding is accompanied by a 100° twist of the binding domains that removes the hydrophobic sites from the cavity lining and forms the folding chamber. ATP hydrolysis is not needed for a single round of binding and encapsulation but is necessary to allow the next round of ATP binding in the opposite ring. It is this remote ATP binding that triggers dismantling of the folding chamber and release of the encapsulated substrate, whether folded or not. The basis for these ordered actions is an elegant system of nested cooperativity of the ATPase machinery. ATP binds to a ring with positive cooperativity, and movements of the interlinked subunit domains are concerted. -
Distinct Contributions of DNA Methylation and Histone Acetylation to the Genomic Occupancy of Transcription Factors
Downloaded from genome.cshlp.org on October 8, 2021 - Published by Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Press Research Distinct contributions of DNA methylation and histone acetylation to the genomic occupancy of transcription factors Martin Cusack,1 Hamish W. King,2 Paolo Spingardi,1 Benedikt M. Kessler,3 Robert J. Klose,2 and Skirmantas Kriaucionis1 1Ludwig Institute for Cancer Research, University of Oxford, Oxford, OX3 7DQ, United Kingdom; 2Department of Biochemistry, University of Oxford, Oxford, OX1 3QU, United Kingdom; 3Target Discovery Institute, University of Oxford, Oxford, OX3 7FZ, United Kingdom Epigenetic modifications on chromatin play important roles in regulating gene expression. Although chromatin states are often governed by multilayered structure, how individual pathways contribute to gene expression remains poorly under- stood. For example, DNA methylation is known to regulate transcription factor binding but also to recruit methyl-CpG binding proteins that affect chromatin structure through the activity of histone deacetylase complexes (HDACs). Both of these mechanisms can potentially affect gene expression, but the importance of each, and whether these activities are inte- grated to achieve appropriate gene regulation, remains largely unknown. To address this important question, we measured gene expression, chromatin accessibility, and transcription factor occupancy in wild-type or DNA methylation-deficient mouse embryonic stem cells following HDAC inhibition. We observe widespread increases in chromatin accessibility at ret- rotransposons when HDACs are inhibited, and this is magnified when cells also lack DNA methylation. A subset of these elements has elevated binding of the YY1 and GABPA transcription factors and increased expression. The pronounced ad- ditive effect of HDAC inhibition in DNA methylation–deficient cells demonstrates that DNA methylation and histone deacetylation act largely independently to suppress transcription factor binding and gene expression. -
