Histone post-translational modification and the DNA damage response.

ABSTRACT: DNA is highly vulnerable to spontaneous and environmental timely damage in living cells. DNA damage may cause genetic instability and increase cancer risk if the damages are not repaired timely and efficiently. Human cells possess several DNA damage response (DDR) mechanisms to protect the integrity of their genome. Clarification of the mechanisms underlying the DNA damage response following lethal damage will facilitate the identification of therapeutic targets for cancers. Histone post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been indicated to play different roles in the repair of DNA damage. In this context, histone PTMs regulate recruitment of downstream effectors, and facilitate appropriate repair response. This review outlines the current understanding of different histone PTMs in response to DNA damage repair, besides, enumerates the role of new type PTMs such as histone succinylation and crotonylation in regulating DNA damage repair processes.

Covalent Modification of Bromodomain Proteins by Peptides Containing a DNA Damage-Induced, Histone Post-Translational Modification.

Project description:An electrophilic 5-methylene-2-pyrrolone modification (KMP ) is produced at lysine residues of histone proteins in nucleosome core particles upon reaction with a commonly formed DNA lesion (C4-AP). The nonenzymatic KMP modification is also generated in the histones of HeLa cells treated with the antitumor agent, bleomycin that oxidizes DNA and forms C4-AP. This nonenzymatic covalent histone modification has the same charge as the N-acetyllysine (KAc ) modification but is more electrophilic. In this study we show that KMP -containing histone peptides are recognized by, and covalently modify bromodomain proteins that are KAc readers. Distinct selectivity preferences for covalent bromodomain modification are observed following incubation with KMP -containing peptides of different sequence. MS/MS analysis of 3 covalently modified bromodomain proteins confirmed that Cys adduction was selective. The modified Cys was not always proximal to the KAc binding site, indicating that KMP -containing peptide interaction with bromodomain protein is distinct from the former. Analysis of protein adduction yields as a function of bromodomain pH at which the protein charge is zero (pI) or cysteine solvent accessible surface area are also consistent with non-promiscuous interaction between the proteins and electrophilic peptides. These data suggest that intracellular formation of KMP could affect cellular function and viability by modifying proteins that regulate genetic expression.

Intracellular Formation of a DNA Damage-Induced, Histone Post-Translational Modification Following Bleomycin Treatment.

Project description:Evaluating the significance of various forms of DNA damage is complicated by discoveries that some lesions inactivate repair enzymes or produce more deleterious forms of damage. Histone lysines within nucleosomes react with the commonly produced C4'-oxidized abasic site (C4-AP) to concomitantly yield an electrophilic modification (KMP) on lysine and DNA strand scission. We developed a chemoproteomic approach to identify KMP in HeLa cells. More than 60 000 KMP-modified histones are produced per cell. Using LC-MS/MS, we detected KMP at 17 of the 57 lysine residues distributed throughout the four core histone proteins. Therefore, KMP constitutes a DNA damage-induced, nonenzymatic histone post-translational modification. KMP formation suggests that downstream processes resulting from DNA damage could have ramifications on cells.

Post-translational Modification in Control of SIRT1 Stability during DNA Damage Response.

Project description:SIRT1 (silent mating type information regulation 2 homolog 1), a class III histone deacetylase, is known to participate in multiple steps of the DNA damage response (DDR) by deacetylating several key DDR proteins. At present, the mechanisms regulating SIRT1 protein stability upon DNA damage have yet to be fully elucidated. In this study, we reveal that, under severe DNA damage, SIRT1 undergoes two forms of post-translational modifications (PTMs): (i) increased polyubiquitination and proteasomal degradation mediated by TRIM28 (tripartite motif-containing protein 28), a RING-domain E3 ligase; and (ii) cleavage at C-terminal mediated by caspases. Importantly, there is reciprocal effects between these forms of PTMs: while suppression of proteasome reduces caspases-mediated cleavage, the cleaved SIRT1 has enhanced interaction with TRIM28, thus facilitating the ubiquitination and proteasomal degradation of SIRT1. Functionally, SIRT1 works as an anti-apoptotic protein in DDR, and the above-mentioned PTMs of SIRT1 subsequently enhances cell death induced by DNA damage agents. Thus, our study has uncovered a pivotal role of SIRT1 post-translational regulation in determining cell fate in DDR.

Post-translational modification of RNA m6A demethylase ALKBH5 regulates ROS-induced DNA damage response.

Project description:Faithful genome integrity maintenance plays an essential role in cell survival. Here, we identify the RNA demethylase ALKBH5 as a key regulator that protects cells from DNA damage and apoptosis during reactive oxygen species (ROS)-induced stress. We find that ROS significantly induces global mRNA N6-methyladenosine (m6A) levels by modulating ALKBH5 post-translational modifications (PTMs), leading to the rapid and efficient induction of thousands of genes involved in a variety of biological processes including DNA damage repair. Mechanistically, ROS promotes ALKBH5 SUMOylation through activating ERK/JNK signaling, leading to inhibition of ALKBH5 m6A demethylase activity by blocking substrate accessibility. Moreover, ERK/JNK/ALKBH5-PTMs/m6A axis is activated by ROS in hematopoietic stem/progenitor cells (HSPCs) in vivo in mice, suggesting a physiological role of this molecular pathway in the maintenance of genome stability in HSPCs. Together, our study uncovers a molecular mechanism involving ALKBH5 PTMs and increased mRNA m6A levels that protect genomic integrity of cells in response to ROS.

DNA methylation and histone post-translational modification stability in post-mortem brain tissue.

Project description:BackgroundEpigenetic (including DNA and histone) modifications occur in a variety of neurological disorders. If epigenetic features of brain autopsy material are to be studied, it is critical to understand the post-mortem stability of the modifications.MethodsPig and mouse brain tissue were formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded, or frozen after post-mortem delays of 0, 24, 48, and 72 h. Epigenetic modifications frequently reported in the literature were studied by DNA agarose gel electrophoresis, DNA methylation enzyme-linked immunosorbent assays, Western blotting, and immunohistochemistry. We constructed a tissue microarray of human neocortex samples with devitalization or death to fixation times ranging from < 60 min to 5 days.ResultsIn pig and mouse brain tissue, we found that DNA cytosine modifications (5mC, 5hmC, 5fC, and 5caC) were stable for ≥ 72 h post-mortem. Histone methylation was generally stable for ≥ 48 h (H3K9me2/K9me3, H3K27me2, H3K36me3) or ≥ 72 h post-mortem (H3K4me3, H3K27me3). Histone acetylation was generally less stable. The levels of H3K9ac, H3K27ac, H4K5ac, H4K12ac, and H4K16ac declined as early as ≤ 24 h post-mortem, while the levels of H3K14ac did not change at ≥ 48 h. Immunohistochemistry showed that histone acetylation loss occurred primarily in the nuclei of large neurons, while immunoreactivity in glial cell nuclei was relatively unchanged. In the human brain tissue array, immunoreactivity for DNA cytosine modifications and histone methylation was stable, while subtle changes were apparent in histone acetylation at 4 to 5 days post-mortem.ConclusionWe conclude that global epigenetic studies on human post-mortem brain tissue are feasible, but great caution is needed for selection of post-mortem delay matched controls if histone acetylation is of interest.

Distinctive core histone post-translational modification patterns in Arabidopsis thaliana.

Project description:Post-translational modifications of histones play crucial roles in the genetic and epigenetic regulation of gene expression from chromatin. Studies in mammals and yeast have found conserved modifications at some residues of histones as well as non-conserved modifications at some other sites. Although plants have been excellent systems to study epigenetic regulation, and histone modifications are known to play critical roles, the histone modification sites and patterns in plants are poorly defined. In the present study we have used mass spectrometry in combination with high performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) separation and phospho-peptide enrichment to identify histone modification sites in the reference plant, Arabidopsis thaliana. We found not only modifications at many sites that are conserved in mammalian and yeast cells, but also modifications at many sites that are unique to plants. These unique modifications include H4 K20 acetylation (in contrast to H4 K20 methylation in non-plant systems), H2B K6, K11, K27 and K32 acetylation, S15 phosphorylation and K143 ubiquitination, and H2A K144 acetylation and S129, S141 and S145 phosphorylation, and H2A.X S138 phosphorylation. In addition, we found that lysine 79 of H3 which is highly conserved and modified by methylation and plays important roles in telomeric silencing in non-plant systems, is not modified in Arabidopsis. These results suggest distinctive histone modification patterns in plants and provide an invaluable foundation for future studies on histone modifications in plants.

Hydroxyphenylation of Histone Lysines: Post-translational Modification by Quinone Imines.

Project description:Monocyclic aromatic amines are widespread environmental contaminants with multiple sources such as combustion products, pharmaceuticals, and pesticides. Their phenolic metabolites are converted intracellularly to electrophilic quinone imines upon autoxidation and can embed in the cellular matrix through a transimination reaction that leaves a redox-active residue as a substituent of lysine side-chain amino groups. To demonstrate the occurrence of this process within the cellular nucleus, Chinese hamster ovary AA8 cells were treated with the para-phenol of 3,5-dimethylamine, after which the histone proteins were isolated, derivatized, and subjected to tryptic digestion. The resulting peptides were analyzed by tandem mass spectrometry to determine which lysines were modified. Nine residues in histones H2A, H2B, and H4 were identified; these were located in histone tails, close to where DNA makes contact with the nuclear core particle, elsewhere on the protein surface, and deep within the core. Kinetics of disappearance of the modified lysines in cultured cells was determined using isotope-dilution mass spectrometry. AA8 cells were also transfected with the genetically encoded hydrogen peroxide biosensor HyPer in constructs that lead to expression of HyPer in different cellular compartments. Challenging the resulting cells with the dimethylaminophenol resulted in sustained fluorescence emission in each of the compartments, demonstrating ongoing production of H2O2. The kinetics of modified lysine loss determined by mass spectrometry was consistent with persistence of HyPer fluorescence emission. We conclude that the para-phenol of 3,5-dimethylamine can become stably integrated into the histone proteins, which are minimally repaired, if at all, and function as a persistent source of intracellular H2O2.

Post-Translational Modification of Human Histone by Wide Tolerance of Acetylation.

Project description:Histone acetylation adds an acetyl group on the lysine residue commonly found within the N-terminal tail protruding from the histone core of the nucleosome, and is important for chromosome structure and function in gene transcription and chromatin remodeling. Acetylation may also occur on other residues additional to lysine, but have not been thoroughly investigated at the proteomics level. Here we report a wide tolerance acetylation study mimicking the addition of 42 ± 0.5 Da delta mass modification on undefined amino acid residues of histones by shotgun proteomics using liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry. A multi-blind spectral alignment algorithm with a wide peptide tolerance revealed frequent occurrence of 42 ± 0.5 Da modifications at lysine (K), serine (S) and threonine (T) residues in human histones from kidney tissues. Precision delta mass analysis identified acetylation (42.011 ± 0.004 Da) and trimethylation (42.047 ± 0.002 Da) modifications within the delta mass range. A specific antibody was produced to validate the acetylated T22 of human histone H3 (H3T22ac) by immune assays. Thus, we demonstrated that the wide tolerance acetylation approach identified histone acetylation as well as modification variants commonly associated with acetylation at undefined residues additional to lysine.
