Human family with sequence similarity 60 member A (FAM60A) protein: a new subunit of the Sin3 deacetylase complex.

ABSTRACT: Here we describe the function of a previously uncharacterized protein, named family with sequence similarity 60 member A (FAM60A) that maps to chromosome 12p11 in humans. We use quantitative proteomics to determine that the main biochemical partners of FAM60A are subunits of the Sin3 deacetylase complex and show that FAM60A resides in active HDAC complexes. In addition, we conduct gene expression pathway analysis and find that FAM60A regulates expression of genes that encode components of the TGF-beta signaling pathway. Moreover, our studies reveal that loss of FAM60A or another component of the Sin3 complex, SDS3, leads to a change in cell morphology and an increase in cell migration. These studies reveal the function of a previously uncharacterized protein and implicate the Sin3 complex in suppressing cell migration.

Project description:BackgroundRegulation of gene expression by histone-modifying enzymes is essential to control cell fate decisions and developmental processes. Two histone-modifying enzymes, RPD3, a deacetylase, and dKDM5/LID, a demethylase, are present in a single complex, coordinated through the SIN3 scaffold protein. While the SIN3 complex has been demonstrated to have functional histone deacetylase activity, the role of the demethylase dKDM5/LID as part of the complex has not been investigated.ResultsHere, we analyzed the developmental and transcriptional activities of dKDM5/LID in relation to SIN3. Knockdown of either Sin3A or lid resulted in decreased cell proliferation in S2 cells and wing imaginal discs. Conditional knockdown of either Sin3A or lid resulted in flies that displayed wing developmental defects. Interestingly, overexpression of dKDM5/LID rescued the wing developmental defect due to reduced levels of SIN3 in female flies, indicating a major role for dKDM5/LID in cooperation with SIN3 during development. Together, these observed phenotypes strongly suggest that dKDM5/LID as part of the SIN3 complex can impact previously uncharacterized transcriptional networks. Transcriptome analysis revealed that SIN3 and dKDM5/LID regulate many common genes. While several genes implicated in cell cycle and wing developmental pathways were affected upon altering the level of these chromatin factors, a significant affect was also observed on genes required to mount an effective stress response. Further, under conditions of induced oxidative stress, reduction of SIN3 and/or dKDM5/LID altered the expression of a greater number of genes involved in cell cycle-related processes relative to normal conditions. This highlights an important role for SIN3 and dKDM5/LID proteins to maintain proper progression through the cell cycle in environments of cellular stress. Further, we find that target genes are bound by both SIN3 and dKDM5/LID, however, histone acetylation, not methylation, plays a predominant role in gene regulation by the SIN3 complex.ConclusionsWe have provided genetic evidence to demonstrate functional cooperation between the histone demethylase dKDM5/LID and SIN3. Biochemical and transcriptome data further support functional links between these proteins. Together, the data provide a solid framework for analyzing the gene regulatory pathways through which SIN3 and dKDM5/LID control diverse biological processes in the organism.

Project description:BackgroundObesity and its associated morbidities represent the major and most rapidly expanding world-wide health epidemic. Recent genome-wide association studies (GWAS) reveal that single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP) variant in the Family with Sequence Similarity 13, Member A (FAM13A) gene is strongly associated with waist-hip ratio (WHR) with adjustment for body mass index (BMI) (WHRadjBMI). However, the function of FAM13A in adipose development and obesity remains largely uncharacterized.MethodsThe expression of FAM13A in adipose tissue depots were investigated using lean, genetic obese and high fat diet-induced obese (DIO) animal models and during adipocyte differentiation. Stromal vascular cells (SVCs) or 3T3-L1 cells with gain and loss of function of FAM13A were used to determine the involvement of FAM13A in regulating adipocyte differentiation. Adipose development and metabolic homeostasis in Fam13a-/- mice were characterized under normal chow and high fat diet feeding.ResultsMurine FAM13A expression was nutritionally regulated and dramatically reduced in epididymal and subcutaneous fat in genetic and diet-induced obesity. Its expression was enriched in mature adipocytes and significantly upregulated during murine and human adipogenesis potentially through a peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor-gamma (PPARγ)-dependent mechanism. However, Fam13a-/- mice only exhibited a tendency of higher adiposity and were not protected from DIO and insulin resistance. While Fam13a-/- SVCs maintained normal adipogenesis, overexpression of FAM13A in 3T3-L1 preadipocytes downregulated β-catenin signaling and rendered preadipocytes more susceptible to apoptosis. Moreover, FAM13A overexpression largely blocked adipogenesis induced by a standard hormone cocktail, but adipogenesis can be partially rescued by the addition of PPARγ agonist pioglitazone at an early stage of differentiation.ConclusionsOur results suggest that FAM13A is dispensable for adipose development and insulin sensitivity. Yet the expression of FAM13A needs to be tightly controlled in adipose precursor cells for their proper survival and downstream adipogenesis. These data provide novel insights into the link between FAM13A and obesity.
