Project description:Autoacetylation of the p300 histone acetyltransferase controls the transition between VP16-mediated chromatin acetylation and preinitiation complex (PIC) assembly. Currently, it is unknown if and how autoacetylated p300 is deacetylated. We found that the NAD(+)-dependent histone deacetylase SIRT2 deacetylates p300 in vitro and in cells. SIRT2 deacetylates lysine residues in the catalytic domain of p300 and restores binding of p300 to the PIC. RNAi-mediated depletion or chemical inhibition of SIRT2 in cells results in accumulation of acetylated p300. The altered ac-p300/p300 ratio in SIRT2-depleted cells results in decreased p300 recruitment to an integrated VP16-responsive gene and inhibition of transcription. We conclude that p300 undergoes a dynamic cycle of autoacetylation and deacetylation.

Project description:p300/cyclic AMP-responsive element binding protein-binding protein (CBP) are general coactivators for multiple transcription factors involved in various cellular processes. Several highly conserved domains of p300/CBP serve as interacting sites for transcription factors and regulatory proteins. Particularly, the intrinsic histone acetyltransferase (HAT) activity and transactivation domains (TAD) play essential roles for their coactivating function. Autoacetylation of p300/CBP is commonly observed in cell-free HAT assays and has been implicated in the regulation of their HAT activity. Here, we show that six lysine-rich regions in several highly conserved functional domains of p300 are targeted by p300HAT for acetylation in cell-free systems. We show that p300 is susceptible to acetylation in cultured tumor cells and that its acetylation status is affected by histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A. We further show that either treatment with deacetylase inhibitors or coexpression of Gal4-p300HAT, which alone has no transactivation activity, stimulates the activity of the COOH-terminal TAD of p300 (p300C-TAD). We have defined the minimal p300C-TAD and show that it is sufficient to respond to deacetylase inhibitors and is a substrate for p300HAT. Finally, we show that acetylated p300 possesses enhanced ability to interact with p53. Taken together, our data suggest that acetylation regulates p300C-TAD and that acetylation of p300/CBP may contribute to the dynamic regulation of their complex formation with various interacting partners.

Project description:ING5 belongs to the Inhibitor of Growth (ING) candidate tumor suppressor family. Previously, we have shown that ING5 inhibits invasiveness of lung cancer cells by downregulating EMT-inducing genes. However, the underlying mechanisms remain unclear. The aim of the study was to use integrated approach involving SILAC labeling and mass spectrometry-based quantitative proteomics to quantify dynamic changes of acetylation regulated by ING5 in lung cancer cells. Here, we have found that ING5 has a profound influence on protein lysine acetylation with 163 acetylation peptides on 122 proteins significantly upregulated and 100 acetylation peptides on 72 proteins downregulated by ING5 overexpression. Bioinfomatic analysis revealed that the acetylated proteins upregulated by ING5 located preferentially in nucleus to cytoplasm and were significantly enriched in transcription cofactor activity, chromatin binding and DNA binding functions; while those downregulated by ING5 located preferentially in cytoplasm rather than nucleus and were functionally enriched in metabolism, suggesting diverse functions of ING5 through differentially regulating protein acetylation. Interestingly, we found ING5 overexpression promotes p300 autoacetylation at K1555, K1558 and K1560 within p300 HAT domain, and two novel sites K1647 and K1794, leading to activation of p300 HAT activity, which was confirmed by accelerated acetylation of p300 target proteins, p53 at k382 and histone H3 at K18. A specific p300 HAT inhibitor C646 impaired ING5-increased acetylation of H3K18 and p53K382, and subsequent expression of p21 and Bax. In conclusion, our results reveal the lysine acetylome regulated by ING5 and provide new insights into mechanisms of ING5 in the regulation of gene expression, metabolism and other cellular functions.

Project description:Notch-1 belongs to a family of transmembrane receptor proteins that direct the decisions as to various cell fates. After ligand binding, a proteolytic cleavage step occurs and the intracellular part of Notch-1, Notch-1-IC, translocates into the nucleus, where it targets the DNA binding protein RBP-J kappa/CBF1. RBP-J kappa mediates repression through recruitment of a histone deacetylase-containing complex. The Notch-1-IC/RBP-J kappa complex overcomes repression and activates the transcription of Notch target genes. We have identified a novel domain in Notch-1-IC, the EP domain, which is indispensable for full transcriptional activation. This transactivation domain is localized adjacent to the ankyrin repeats of Notch-1-IC. In cotransfection experiments, Notch-1-IC-mediated transcriptional activation was inhibited by E1A12S and p53, two proteins, which interfere with the function of the common coactivator p300. Protein-protein interaction assays demonstrated the association of Notch-1-IC and the CH3 region of p300. In addition, the interaction of mammalian Notch-1-IC with p300 was destabilized after deletion of the EP domain of Notch-1-IC. Based on physical interaction with Notch-1-IC and coactivator functions of p300, we propose a model for Notch-1-mediated gene regulation via p300.

Project description:Previous studies revealed that the potential tumor suppressor EAF2 binds to and stabilizes pVHL, suggesting that EAF2 may function by disturbing the hypoxia signaling pathway. However, the extent to which EAF2 affects hypoxia and the mechanisms underlying this activity remain largely unknown. In this study, we found that EAF2 is a hypoxia response gene harboring the hypoxia response element (HRE) in its promoter. By taking advantage of the pVHL-null cell lines RCC4 and 786-O, we demonstrated that hypoxia-induced factor 1? (HIF-1?), but not HIF-2?, induced EAF2 under hypoxia. Subsequent experiments showed that EAF2 bound to and suppressed HIF-1? but not HIF-2? transactivity. In addition, we observed that EAF2 inhibition of HIF-1? activity resulted from the disruption of p300 recruitment and that this occurred independently of FIH-1 (factor inhibiting HIF-1) and Sirt1. Furthermore, we found that EAF2 protected cells against hypoxia-induced cell death and inhibited cellular uptake of glucose under hypoxic conditions, suggesting that EAF2 indeed may act by modulating the hypoxia-signaling pathway. Our findings not only uncover a unique feedback regulation loop between EAF2 and HIF-1? but also provide a novel insight into the mechanism of EAF2 tumor suppression.

Project description:The histone acetyltransferase TIP60, a frequent target of monoallelic loss in human carcinomas, can acetylate many substrates, including histones and p53, and thus promote apoptosis following UV radiation. Here we showed that TIP60 is autoacetylated in response to UV damage, which is critically important for TIP60 activation. Mechanistically we demonstrated that TIP60 autoacetylation leads to the dissociation of TIP60 oligomer and enhances its interaction with substrates. Moreover, we identified SIRT1 that specifically deacetylates TIP60 and negatively regulates TIP60 activity in vivo. Taken together, our data reveal TIP60 autoacetylation as a key step in the control of its histone acetyltransferase activity and function in response to DNA damage.

Project description:Skeletal myogenesis is a highly ordered process which specifically depends on the function of transcriptional coactivator p300. Previous studies have established that Akt/protein kinase B (PKB), a positive regulator of p300 in proliferating cells, is also important for proper skeletal muscle development. Nevertheless, it is not clear as to how the p300 is regulated by myogenic signaling events given that both p300 and Akt are involved in many cellular processes. Our studies revealed that the levels of p300 protein are temporally maintained in ligand-enhanced skeletal myocyte development. Interestingly, this maintenance of p300 protein is observed at the stage of myoblast differentiation, which coincides with an increase in Akt phosphorylation. Moreover, regulation of p300 during myoblast differentiation appears to be mediated by Akt signaling. Blunting of p300 impairs myogenic expression and myoblast differentiation. Thus, our data suggests a particular role for Akt in myoblast differentiation through interaction with p300. Our studies also establish the potential of exploiting p300 regulation and Akt activation to decipher the complex signaling cascades involved in skeletal muscle development.

Project description:Transcriptional coactivator with a PDZ-binding motif (TAZ) is one of the mammalian orthologs of Drosophila Yorkie, a transcriptional coactivator of the Hippo pathway. TAZ has been suggested to function as a regulator that modulates the expression of cell proliferation and anti-apoptotic genes in order to stimulate cell proliferation. TAZ has also been associated with a poor prognosis in several cancers, including breast cancer. However, the physiological role of TAZ in tumorigenesis remains unclear. We herein demonstrated that TAZ negatively regulated the activity of the tumor suppressor p53. The overexpression of TAZ down-regulated p53 transcriptional activity and its downstream gene expression. In contrast, TAZ knockdown up-regulated p21 expression induced by p53 activation. Regarding the underlying mechanism, TAZ inhibited the interaction between p53 and p300 and suppressed the p300-mediated acetylation of p53. Furthermore, TAZ knockdown induced cellular senescence in a p53-dependent manner. These results suggest that TAZ negatively regulates the tumor suppressor functions of p53 and attenuates p53-mediated cellular senescence.

Project description:The transcriptional co-activator p300 is essential for p53 transactivation, although its precise role remains unclear. We report that p53 activates the acetyltransferase activity of p300 through the enhancement of p300 autoacetylation. Autoacetylated p300 accumulates near the transcription start sites accompanied by a similar enrichment of activating histone marks near those sites. Abrogation of p53-p300 interaction by a site-directed peptide inhibitor abolished p300-mediated histone acetylation, suggesting a crucial role played by the activation in p53-mediated gene regulation. Gain-of-function mutant p53, known to impart aggressive proliferative properties in tumor cells, also activates p300 autoacetylation. The same peptide abolished many of the gain-of-function properties of mutant p53 as well. Reversal of gain-of-function properties of mutant p53 suggests that molecules targeting the p53-p300 interface may be good candidates for anti-tumor drugs.

Project description:Molecular regulation of stem cell differentiation is exerted through both genetic and epigenetic determinants over distal regulatory or enhancer regions. Understanding the mechanistic action of active or poised enhancers is therefore imperative for control of stem cell differentiation. Based on the genome-wide co-occurrence of different epigenetic marks in committed proliferating myoblasts, we have previously generated a 14-state chromatin state model to profile rexinoid-responsive histone acetylation in early myoblast differentiation. Here, we delineate the functional mode of transcription regulators during early myogenic differentiation using genome-wide chromatin state association. We define a role of transcriptional coactivator p300, when recruited by muscle master regulator MyoD, in the establishment and regulation of myogenic loci at the onset of myoblast differentiation. In addition, we reveal an enrichment of loci-specific histone acetylation at p300 associated active or poised enhancers, particularly when enlisted by MyoD. We provide novel molecular insights into the regulation of myogenic enhancers by p300 in concert with MyoD. Our studies present a valuable aptitude for driving condition-specific chromatin state or enhancers pharmacologically to treat muscle-related diseases and for the identification of additional myogenic targets and molecular interactions for therapeutic development.
