The Specificity and Regulation of Human Histone Deacetylase 8 by Carol Ann Pitcairn The specificity and regulation of human histone deacetylase 8 by Carol Ann Pitcairn A dissertation submitted in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy (Chemical Biology) in the University of Michigan 2015 Doctoral Committee: Professor Carol A. Fierke, Chair Associate Professor Patrick O’Brien Professor Stephen W. Ragsdale Associate Professor Raymond C. Trievel © Carol Ann Pitcairn 2015 Dedication I dedicate this dissertation to God and to my beloved family. God has given me extraordinary family and friends. I will be forever thankful for the wonderful individuals whose lives have intersected or run parallel with mine for a time. It has been an adventure with marvelous companions on the journey! My parents instilled in me a drive for education, although I don’t think anyone expected me to take my education to the extreme of a doctoral degree. I also learned from my family that when you do something, you give it all you’ve got. Thus, I have completed 22 years of school. Like my mom always says, “I’m accomplishing my goals.” Support and encouragement from my parents have brought me to this place, and I am incredibly thankful. I cannot express my love for my family in words on a page. ii Acknowledgements I thank Dr. Carol A. Fierke for being an excellent mentor and role model. I am overjoyed to have achieved this milestone and Carol was integral to my success. I aspire to be as good a mentor as she is. I am thankful to be a part of the lab group she has assembled, and for her guidance throughout the Ph.D. process. I want to thank my undergraduate research advisor, Dr. Nina V. Stourman for her guidance and support, as well as the faculty in the Chemistry Department at Youngstown State University. I also want to thank my mentors and former lab-mates for their advice, assistance, and support: Dr. Yaru Zhang, Dr. Corissa Lamphear, Dr. Caleb G. Joseph, and Dr. Noah A. Wolfson. Although our protein turns purple (when it bothers to be expressed) and our assays are complicated, the HDAC subgroup is the subgroup that has the most fun. Members of this cluster, from 2011 to present, include Dr. Caleb G. Joseph, Dr. Noah A. Wolfson, Dr. Byungchul Kim, Dr. Ningkun Wang, Dr. Lubomír Dostál, Eric D. Sullivan, Jeffrey E. López, Katherine R. Leng, and George R. Murphy III. I thank them for helpful discussions, collaborations, group protein purifications, and laughter. From the bottom of my heart I thank Katherine R. Leng, Jeffrey E. López, Nancy Wu, Yu Chen, and Dr. Jenna Hendershot for friendship and our snack times, iced tea runs, exercise, matching days, story time, and the occasional, well-timed, much-needed hug. I thank my family in Christ at Crossroads Community Baptist Church for lovingly providing a kind ear to listen, words and smiles of encouragement, food, and fun. Finally, I want to give my deepest thanks to my parents and my family. My family is the epitome of unconditional love. I thank them for: emotional support, long phone calls, lots of food, joyful visits when I was too busy to travel, and for understanding when I skipped family events. Thank you for teaching me to love Jesus and people. Thank you for nurturing my self-confidence and motivation. Thank you for being proud of me. iii Table of Contents Dedication ...................................................................................................................... ii

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.

  • HDAC7 Sikens the Heart
    The black sheep of class IIa: HDAC7 SIKens the heart Joshua G. Travers, … , Tianjing Hu, Timothy A. McKinsey J Clin Invest. 2020;130(6):2811-2813. https://doi.org/10.1172/JCI137074. Commentary Class IIa histone deacetylases (HDACs) repress cardiomyocyte hypertrophy through association with the prohypertrophic transcription factor (TF) myocyte enhancer factor-2 (MEF2). The four class IIa HDACs — HDAC4, -5, -7, and -9 — are subject to signal-dependent phosphorylation by members of the Ca2+/calmodulin-dependent protein kinase (CaMK) group. In response to stress, HDAC4, HDAC5, and HDAC9 undergo phosphorylation-induced nuclear export in cardiomyocytes, freeing MEF2 to stimulate progrowth genes; it was generally assumed that HDAC7 is also antihypertrophic. However, in this issue of the JCI, Hsu and colleagues demonstrate that, in sharp contrast to the other class IIa HDACs, HDAC7 is constitutively localized to the cardiomyocyte cytoplasm, where it promotes cardiac hypertrophy. Phosphorylation of HDAC7 by the CaMK group member salt-inducible kinase 1 (SIK1) stabilized the deacetylase, leading to increased expression of c-Myc, which in turn stimulated a pathological gene program. These unexpected findings highlight the SIK1/HDAC7 signaling axis as a promising target for the treatment of cardiac hypertrophy and heart failure.

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.

  • 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.

  • The Roles of Histone Deacetylase 5 and the Histone Methyltransferase Adaptor WDR5 in Myc Oncogenesis
    The Roles of Histone Deacetylase 5 and the Histone Methyltransferase Adaptor WDR5 in Myc oncogenesis By Yuting Sun This thesis is submitted in fulfilment of the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy at the University of New South Wales Children’s Cancer Institute Australia for Medical Research School of Women’s and Children’s Health, Faculty of Medicine University of New South Wales Australia August 2014 PLEASE TYPE THE UNIVERSITY OF NEW SOUTH WALES Thesis/Dissertation Sheet Surname or Family name: Sun First name: Yuting Other name/s: Abbreviation for degree as given in the University calendar: PhD School : School of·Women's and Children's Health Faculty: Faculty of Medicine Title: The Roles of Histone Deacetylase 5 and the Histone Methyltransferase Adaptor WDR5 in Myc oncogenesis. Abstract 350 words maximum: (PLEASE TYPE) N-Myc Induces neuroblastoma by regulating the expression of target genes and proteins, and N-Myc protein is degraded by Fbxw7 and NEDD4 and stabilized by Aurora A. The class lla histone deacetylase HDAC5 suppresses gene transcription, and blocks myoblast and leukaemia cell differentiation. While histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) trimethylation at target gene promoters is a pre-requisite for Myc· induced transcriptional activation, WDRS, as a histone H3K4 methyltransferase presenter, is required for H3K4 methylation and transcriptional activation mediated by a histone H3K4 methyltransferase complex. Here, I investigated the roles of HDAC5 and WDR5 in N-Myc overexpressing neuroblastoma. I have found that N-Myc upregulates HDAC5 protein expression, and that HDAC5 represses NEDD4 gene expression, increases Aurora A gene expression and consequently upregulates N-Myc protein expression in neuroblastoma cells.

  • Exogenous Hydrogen Sulfide Plays an Important Role by Regulating
    International Journal of Molecular Sciences Review Exogenous Hydrogen Sulfide Plays an Important Role by Regulating Autophagy in Diabetic-Related Diseases Shuangyu Lv , Huiyang Liu and Honggang Wang * Henan International Joint Laboratory of Nuclear Protein Regulation, School of Basic Medical Sciences, Henan University, Kaifeng 475000, China; [email protected] (S.L.); [email protected] (H.L.) * Correspondence: [email protected] Abstract: Autophagy is a vital cell mechanism which plays an important role in many physiological processes including clearing long-lived, accumulated and misfolded proteins, removing damaged organelles and regulating growth and aging. Autophagy also participates in a variety of biological functions, such as development, cell differentiation, resistance to pathogens and nutritional hunger. Recently, autophagy has been reported to be involved in diabetes, but the mechanism is not fully understood. Hydrogen sulfide (H2S) is a colorless, water-soluble, flammable gas with the typical odor of rotten eggs, which has been known as a highly toxic gas for many years. However, it has been reported recently that H2S, together with nitric oxide and carbon monoxide, is an important gas signal transduction molecule. H2S has been reported to play a protective role in many diabetes- related diseases, but the mechanism is not fully clear. Recent studies indicate that H2S plays an important role by regulating autophagy in many diseases including cancer, tissue fibrosis diseases and glycometabolic diseases; however, the related mechanism has not been fully studied. In this review, we summarize recent research on the role of H2S in regulating autophagy in diabetic-related diseases to provide references for future related research.

  • Epigenetic Regulation of TRAIL Signaling: Implication for Cancer Therapy
    cancers Review Epigenetic Regulation of TRAIL Signaling: Implication for Cancer Therapy Mohammed I. Y. Elmallah 1,2,* and Olivier Micheau 1,* 1 INSERM, Université Bourgogne Franche-Comté, LNC UMR1231, F-21079 Dijon, France 2 Chemistry Department, Faculty of Science, Helwan University, Ain Helwan 11795 Cairo, Egypt * Correspondence: [email protected] (M.I.Y.E.); [email protected] (O.M.) Received: 23 May 2019; Accepted: 18 June 2019; Published: 19 June 2019 Abstract: One of the main characteristics of carcinogenesis relies on genetic alterations in DNA and epigenetic changes in histone and non-histone proteins. At the chromatin level, gene expression is tightly controlled by DNA methyl transferases, histone acetyltransferases (HATs), histone deacetylases (HDACs), and acetyl-binding proteins. In particular, the expression level and function of several tumor suppressor genes, or oncogenes such as c-Myc, p53 or TRAIL, have been found to be regulated by acetylation. For example, HATs are a group of enzymes, which are responsible for the acetylation of histone proteins, resulting in chromatin relaxation and transcriptional activation, whereas HDACs by deacetylating histones lead to chromatin compaction and the subsequent transcriptional repression of tumor suppressor genes. Direct acetylation of suppressor genes or oncogenes can affect their stability or function. Histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) have thus been developed as a promising therapeutic target in oncology. While these inhibitors display anticancer properties in preclinical models, and despite the fact that some of them have been approved by the FDA, HDACi still have limited therapeutic efficacy in clinical terms. Nonetheless, combined with a wide range of structurally and functionally diverse chemical compounds or immune therapies, HDACi have been reported to work in synergy to induce tumor regression.
