  • The Cross-Talk Between Methylation and Phosphorylation in Lymphoid-Specific Helicase Drives Cancer Stem-Like 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.

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.

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 reactions of glycolysis result in pyruvate, which is then fed into the citric acid cycle in the form of acetyl CoA. The products of the citric acid cycles are 2 CO2, 3 NADH, 1 FADH2, and 1 ATP or GTP. After pyruvate is generated, it is transported into the mitochondrion, an organelle that contains the citric acid cycle enzymes and the oxidative phosphorylation enzymes. In E. coli, where there are neither mitochondria nor other organelles, these enzymes also seem to be concentrated in certain regions in the cell. Citric acid cycle reactions Overall, there are 8 reactions that result in oxidation of the metabolic fuel. This results in reduction of NAD+ and FAD. NADH and FADH2 will transfer their electrons to oxygen during oxidative phosphorylation. •In 1936 Carl Martius and Franz Knoop showed that citrate can be formed non-enzymaticly from Oxaloacetate and pyruvate. •In 1937 Hans Krebs used this information for biochemical experiments that resulted in his suggestion that citrate is processed in an ongoing circle, into which pyruvate is “fed.” •In 1951 it was shown that it was acetyl Coenzyme-A that condenses with oxaloacetate to form citrate. 1 The pre-citric acid reaction- pyruvate dehydrogenase Pyruvate dehydrogenase is a multi-subunit complex, containing three enzymes that associate non-covalently and catalyze 5 reaction.

  • O-Glcnacylation Is a Key Regulator of Multiple Cellular Metabolic Pathways
    O-GlcNAcylation is a key regulator of multiple cellular metabolic pathways Hongshuo Zhang, Zhen Li, Yufei Wang and Ying Kong Core Laboratory of Glycobiology and Glycoengineering, College of Basic Medical Sciences, Dalian Medical University, Dalian, Liaoning, China ABSTRACT O-GlcNAcylation modifies proteins in serine or threonine residues in the nucleus, cytoplasm, and mitochondria. It regulates a variety of cellular biological processes and abnormal O-GlcNAcylation is associated with diabetes, cancer, cardiovascular disease, and neurodegenerative diseases. Recent evidence has suggested that O-GlcNAcylation acts as a nutrient sensor and signal integrator to regulate metabolic signaling, and that dysregulation of its metabolism may be an important indicator of pathogenesis in disease. Here, we review the literature focusing on O-GlcNAcylation regulation in major metabolic processes, such as glucose metabolism, mitochondrial oxidation, lipid metabolism, and amino acid metabolism. We discuss its role in physiological processes, such as cellular nutrient sensing and homeostasis maintenance. O-GlcNAcylation acts as a key regulator in multiple metabolic processes and pathways.

    Steroids 68 (2003) 1–9 Review Estrogen receptor phosphorylation Deborah A. Lannigan∗ Center for Cell Signaling, Health Sciences Center, University of Virginia, Hospital West, Room 7041, Box 800577, Charlottesville, VA 22908-0577, USA Received 30 April 2002; accepted 13 June 2002 Abstract Estrogen receptor ␣ (ER␣) is phosphorylated on multiple amino acid residues. For example, in response to estradiol binding, human ER␣ is predominately phosphorylated on Ser-118 and to a lesser extent on Ser-104 and Ser-106. In response to activation of the mitogen-activated protein kinase pathway, phosphorylation occurs on Ser-118 and Ser-167. These serine residues are all located within the activation function 1 region of the N-terminal domain of ER␣. In contrast, activation of protein kinase A increases the phosphorylation of Ser-236, which is located in the DNA-binding domain. The in vivo phosphorylation status of Tyr-537, located in the ligand-binding domain, remains controversial. In this review, I present evidence that these phosphorylations occur, and identify the kinases thought to be responsible. Additionally, the functional importance of ER␣ phosphorylation is discussed. © 2002 Elsevier Science Inc. All rights reserved. Keywords: Estrogen receptor; Phosphorylation; Transcription 1.

  • The Crosstalk Between O-Glcnacylation and Phosphorylation in Insulin Signaling
    THE CROSSTALK BETWEEN O-GLCNACYLATION AND PHOSPHORYLATION IN INSULIN SIGNALING by Ping Hu A dissertation submitted to Johns Hopkins University in conformity with the requirements for the degree of Doctor of Philosophy Baltimore, Maryland December, 2015 © Ping Hu All Rights Reserved ABSTRACT Extensive crosstalk between phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation is involved in regulating insulin signaling. In addition, many of the key regulators of insulin signaling have been shown to be O-GlcNAcylated. In this study, we first explored the crosstalk between phosphorylation and O-GlcNAcylation globally, and then focused on an upstream signaling regulator key to insulin signaling, insulin receptor substrate 1, IRS1. Through regulating cellular O-GlcNAcylation levels in differentiated adipocyte 3T3-L1 cells by specific OGT and OGA inhibitors, we measured the affects of O-GlcNAcylation on the phosphorylation status of key molecules. We observed that O-GlcNAcylation regulates the flux through the two main divergent cellular pathways of insulin signaling, one regulating glucose metabolism and the other regulating cellular proliferation via MAP kinase. Decreased O-GlcNAcylation was associated with increased glucose utilization, and increased O-GlcNAcylation was associated with increased insulin-induced cellular proliferation pathways. Since IRS1 is early in the insulin signaling pathway and is both highly O-GlcNAcylated and highly phosphorylated, we focused on the crosstalk of those two PTMs on IRS1. The phosphorylation spectrum of IRS1 revealed by 2D electrophoretic analyses, partially explained why decreased O-GlcNAcylation facilitated glucose uptake. Two new O- GlcNAcylation sites were mapped through CID/ETD mass spectrometry. With help of protein truncation and site mutagenesis techniques, we propose a mechanism suggesting that the O-GlcNAcylation of Ser635, may be a negative regulator of the C-terminal O- GlcNAcylations on IRS1.
