DNA Demethylation in the Processes of Repair and Epigenetic Regulation Performed by 2-Ketoglutarate-Dependent DNA Dioxygenases.

ABSTRACT: Site-specific DNA methylation plays an important role in epigenetic regulation of gene expression. Chemical methylation of DNA, including the formation of various methylated nitrogenous bases, leads to the formation of genotoxic modifications that impair DNA functions. Despite the fact that different pathways give rise to methyl groups in DNA, the main pathway for their removal is oxidative demethylation, which is catalyzed by nonheme Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent DNA dioxygenases. DNA dioxygenases share a common catalytic mechanism of the oxidation of the alkyl groups on nitrogenous bases in nucleic acids. This review presents generalized data on the catalytic mechanism of action of DNA dioxygenases and on the participation of typical representatives of this superfamily, such as prokaryotic enzyme AlkB and eukaryotic enzymes ALKBH1-8 and TET1-3, in both processes of direct repair of alkylated DNA adducts and in the removal of an epigenetic mark (5-methylcytosine).

Butyrate Inhibits Indices of Colorectal Carcinogenesis via Enhancing α-Ketoglutarate-Dependent DNA Demethylation of Mismatch Repair Genes.

Project description:ScopeButyrate, the fermentation end product of gut microbiota in the colon, is known for its antitumor effects, but the mechanisms remained to be defined. α-ketoglutarate (α-KG) mediates DNA demethylation and aberrant epigenetic modifications are associated with carcinogenesis. The objectives of this study are to evaluate the effects of butyrate on α-KG mediated epigenetic modification in colorectal adenocarcinoma HT-29 and Caco-2 cells.Methods and resultsButyrate suppressed proliferation, potentiated differentiation, and induced apoptosis in both HT-29 and Caco-2 cells, associated with enhanced expression of isocitrate dehydrogenase 1 (IDH1) and pyruvate dehydrogenase. Furthermore, butyrate upregulated acetyl-CoA and α-KG, concomitant with enhanced histone acetylation and DNA demethylation in the promoter of DNA mismatch repair (MMR) gene. Knocking down IDH1 abolished the positive effects of butyrate on CRC apoptosis and MMR protein expression, in conjunction with reduced α-KG content. Importantly, α-KG supplementation recovered the beneficial effects of butyrate in IDH1-deficient cells.ConclusionIn summary, butyrate inhibits indices of colorectal carcinogenesis in an α-KG-dependent manner.

Cofactor Generation Cascade for ?-Ketoglutarate and Fe(II)-Dependent Dioxygenases.

Project description:Fe(II)- and ?-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenases have emerged as important catalysts for the preparation of non-natural amino acids. The stoichiometric supply of the cosubstrate ?-ketoglutarate (?KG) is an important cost factor. A combination of the N-succinyl amino acid hydroxylase SadA with an l-glutamate oxidase (LGOX) allowed for coupling in situ production of ?KG to stereoselective ?KG-dependent dioxygenases in a one-pot/two-step cascade reaction. Both enzymes were used as immobilized enzymes and tested in a preparative scale setup under process-near conditions. Oxygen supply, enzyme, and substrate loading of the oxidation of glutamate were investigated under controlled reaction conditions on a small scale before upscaling to a 1 L stirred tank reactor. LGOX was applied with a substrate concentration of 73.6 g/L (339 mM) and reached a space-time yield of 14.2 g/L/h. Additionally, the enzyme was recycled up to 3 times. The hydroxylase SadA reached a space-time yield of 1.2 g/L/h at a product concentration of 9.3 g/L (40 mM). For both cascade reactions, the supply with oxygen was identified as a critical parameter. The results underline the robustness and suitability of ?-ketoglutarate dependent dioxygenases for application outside of living cells.

Structure and function of dioxygenases in histone demethylation and DNA/RNA demethylation.

Project description:Iron(II) and 2-oxoglutarate (2OG)-dependent dioxygenases involved in histone and DNA/RNA demethylation convert the cosubstrate 2OG and oxygen to succinate and carbon dioxide, resulting in hydroxylation of the methyl group of the substrates and subsequent demethylation. Recent evidence has shown that these 2OG dioxygenases play vital roles in a variety of biological processes, including transcriptional regulation and gene expression. In this review, the structure and function of these dioxygenases in histone and nucleic acid demethylation will be discussed. Given the important roles of these 2OG dioxygenases, detailed analysis and comparison of the 2OG dioxygenases will guide the design of target-specific small-molecule chemical probes and inhibitors.

Oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate is a competitive inhibitor of ?-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases.

Project description:IDH1 and IDH2 mutations occur frequently in gliomas and acute myeloid leukemia, leading to simultaneous loss and gain of activities in the production of ?-ketoglutarate (?-KG) and 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), respectively. Here we demonstrate that 2-HG is a competitive inhibitor of multiple ?-KG-dependent dioxygenases, including histone demethylases and the TET family of 5-methlycytosine (5mC) hydroxylases. 2-HG occupies the same space as ?-KG does in the active site of histone demethylases. Ectopic expression of tumor-derived IDH1 and IDH2 mutants inhibits histone demethylation and 5mC hydroxylation. In glioma, IDH1 mutations are associated with increased histone methylation and decreased 5-hydroxylmethylcytosine (5hmC). Hence, tumor-derived IDH1 and IDH2 mutations reduce ?-KG and accumulate an ?-KG antagonist, 2-HG, leading to genome-wide histone and DNA methylation alterations.

Resolving DNA Damage: Epigenetic Regulation of DNA Repair.

Project description:Epigenetic research has rapidly evolved into a dynamic field of genome biology. Chromatin regulation has been proved to be an essential aspect for all genomic processes, including DNA repair. Chromatin structure is modified by enzymes and factors that deposit, erase, and interact with epigenetic marks such as DNA and histone modifications, as well as by complexes that remodel nucleosomes. In this review we discuss recent advances on how the chromatin state is modulated during this multi-step process of damage recognition, signaling, and repair. Moreover, we examine how chromatin is regulated when different pathways of DNA repair are utilized. Furthermore, we review additional modes of regulation of DNA repair, such as through the role of global and localized chromatin states in maintaining expression of DNA repair genes, as well as through the activity of epigenetic enzymes on non-nucleosome substrates. Finally, we discuss current and future applications of the mechanistic interplays between chromatin regulation and DNA repair in the context cancer treatment.

FoxA-dependent demethylation of DNA initiates epigenetic memory of cellular identity.

Project description:Tissue-specific DNA methylation patterns are created by transcription factors that recruit methylation and demethylation enzymes to cis-regulatory elements. To date, it is not known whether transcription factors are needed to continuously maintain methylation profiles in development and mature tissues or whether they only establish these marks during organ development. We queried the role of the pioneer factor FoxA in generating hypomethylated DNA at liver enhancers. We discovered a set of FoxA-binding sites that undergo regional, FoxA-dependent demethylation during organ development. Conditional ablation of FoxA genes in the adult liver demonstrated that continued FoxA presence was not required to maintain the hypomethylated state, even when massive cell proliferation was induced. This study provides strong evidence for the stable, epigenetic nature of tissue-specific DNA methylation patterns directed by lineage-determining transcription factors during organ development.

A Single-Turnover Kinetic Study of DNA Demethylation Catalyzed by Fe(II)/α-Ketoglutarate-Dependent Dioxygenase AlkB.

Project description:AlkB is a Fe(II)/α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenase that repairs some alkylated bases of DNA and RNA in Escherichia coli. In the course of catalysis, oxidation of a co-substrate (α-ketoglutarate, αKG) leads to the formation of a highly reactive 'oxyferryl' enzyme-bound intermediate, Fe(IV) = O, ensuring hydroxylation of the alkyl nucleobase adducts. Previous studies have revealed that AlkB is a flexible protein and can adopt different conformations during interactions with cofactors and DNA. To assess the conformational dynamics of the enzyme in complex with single- or double-stranded DNA in real-time mode, we employed the stopped-flow fluorescence method. N1-Methyladenine (m1A) introduced into a sequence of 15-mer oligonucleotides was chosen as the specific damage. Single-turnover kinetics were monitored by means of intrinsic fluorescence of the protein's Trp residues, fluorescent base analogue 2-aminopurine (2aPu), and a dye-quencher pair (FAM/BHQ1). For all the fluorescent labels, the fluorescent traces showed several phases of consistent conformational changes, which were assigned to specific steps of the enzymatic process. These data offer an overall picture of the structural dynamics of AlkB and DNA during their interaction.

TET family dioxygenases and DNA demethylation in stem cells and cancers.

Project description:The methylation of cytosine and subsequent oxidation constitutes a fundamental epigenetic modification in mammalian genomes, and its abnormalities are intimately coupled to various pathogenic processes including cancer development. Enzymes of the Ten-eleven translocation (TET) family catalyze the stepwise oxidation of 5-methylcytosine in DNA to 5-hydroxymethylcytosine and further oxidation products. These oxidized 5-methylcytosine derivatives represent intermediates in the reversal of cytosine methylation, and also serve as stable epigenetic modifications that exert distinctive regulatory roles. It is becoming increasingly obvious that TET proteins and their catalytic products are key regulators of embryonic development, stem cell functions and lineage specification. Over the past several years, the function of TET proteins as a barrier between normal and malignant states has been extensively investigated. Dysregulation of TET protein expression or function is commonly observed in a wide range of cancers. Notably, TET loss-of-function is causally related to the onset and progression of hematologic malignancy in vivo. In this review, we focus on recent advances in the mechanistic understanding of DNA methylation-demethylation dynamics, and their potential regulatory functions in cellular differentiation and oncogenic transformation.

Registered report: Oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate is a competitive inhibitor of α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases.

Project description:The Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology seeks to address growing concerns about reproducibility in scientific research by conducting replications of selected experiments from a number of high-profile papers in the field of cancer biology. The papers, which were published between 2010 and 2012, were selected on the basis of citations and Altmetric scores (Errington et al., 2014). This Registered report describes the proposed replication plan of key experiments from 'Oncometabolite 2-hydroxyglutarate is a competitive inhibitor of α-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases' by Xu and colleagues, published in Cancer Cell in 2011 (Xu et al., 2011). The key experiments being replicated include Supplemental Figure 3I, which demonstrates that transfection with mutant forms of IDH1 increases levels of 2-hydroxyglutarate (2-HG), Figures 3A and 8A, which demonstrate changes in histone methylation after treatment with 2-HG, and Figures 3D and 7B, which show that mutant IDH1 can effect the same changes as treatment with excess 2-HG. The Reproducibility Project: Cancer Biology is a collaboration between the Center for Open Science and Science Exchange, and the results of the replications will be published by eLife.

Fe(II)-dependent, uridine-5'-monophosphate ?-ketoglutarate dioxygenases in the synthesis of 5'-modified nucleosides.

Project description:Several nucleoside antibiotics from various actinomycetes contain a high-carbon sugar nucleoside that is putatively derived via C-5'-modification of the canonical nucleoside. Two prominent examples are the 5'-C-carbamoyluridine- and 5'-C-glycyluridine-containing nucleosides, both families of which were discovered using screens aimed at finding inhibitors of bacterial translocase I involved in the assembly of the bacterial peptidoglycan cell wall. A shared open reading frame was identified whose gene product is similar to enzymes of the nonheme, Fe(II)-, and ?-ketoglutarate-dependent dioxygenases. The enzyme LipL from the biosynthetic pathway for A-90289, a 5'-C-glycyluridine-containing nucleoside, was functionally characterized as an UMP:?-ketoglutarate dioxygenase, providing the enzymatic imperative for the generation of a nucleoside-5'-aldehdye that serves as a downstream substrate for an aldol or aldol-type reaction leading to the high-carbon sugar scaffold. The functional assignment of LipL and the homologous enzymes-including bioinformatic analysis, iron detection and quantification, and assay development for biochemical characterization-is presented herein.
