A Chemical Toolbox for the Study of Bromodomains and Epigenetic Signaling

ABSTRACT: Bromodomains (BRDs) are evolutionary conserved epigenetic protein interaction modules which recognize (“read”) acetyl-lysine, however their role(s) in regulating cellular states and their potential as targets for the development of targeted treatment strategies is poorly understood. Here we present a set of 25 chemical probes, selective tool small molecule inhibitors, covering 29 human bromodomain targets. We comprehensively evaluate the selectivity of this probe-set using BROMOscan® and demonstrate the utility of the set in studies of muscle cell differentiation and triple negative breast cancer (TNBC). We identified cross talk between histone acetylation and the glycolytic pathway resulting in a vulnerability of TNBC cell lines to inhibition of BRPF2/3 BRDs under conditions of glucose deprivation or GLUT1 inhibition. This chemical probe set will serve as a resource for future applications in the discovery of new physiological roles of bromodomain proteins in normal and disease states and as a toolset for bromodomain target validation.

Project description:Bromodomains (BRDs) have emerged as compelling targets for cancer therapy. The development of selective and potent BET inhibitors and their significant activity in diverse tumor models has rapidly translated into clinical studies and has motivated drug development efforts targeting non-BET BRDs. However, the complex multidomain/subunit architecture of bromodomain protein complexes complicates predictions of consequences of their pharmacological targeting. To address this issue we developed a promiscuous bromodomain inhibitor (bromosporine, BSP) that broadly targets BRDs (including BETs) with nanomolar affinity, creating a tool for the identification of cellular processes and diseases where BRDs have a regulatory function. As a proof of principle we studied the effect of BSP in leukemic cell-lines known to be sensitive to BET inhibition and found as expected strong anti-proliferative activity. Comparison of the modulation of transcriptional profiles by BSP at short inhibitor exposure resulted in a BET inhibitor signature but no significant additional changes in transcription that could account for inhibition of other BRDs. Thus, non-selective targeting of BRDs identified BETs, but not other BRDs, as master regulators of a context dependent primary transcription response. Cells were seeded the day prior to treatment at 2x10^5 per ml. Treatments were performed so that a final concentration of 0.1 % DMSO (Cat.#D1435; Sigma) was achieved and cells were incubated with DMSO or 500 nM test compound (BSP, JQ1, LP99, GSK2801, iCBP112 or OF1) for 6 h prior to isolation of RNA. Total RNA was isolated using a standard TRIzol (Invitrogen) protocol and prepared using RNeasy columns (Cat.#74106 plus; Qiagen). RNA was quantified using a Nanodrop spectrophotometer (model ND1000; Thermo Fisher) and integrity assessed on a BioAnalyzer (2100; Agilent Laboratories, USA). All samples had a RNA Integrity Number (RIN) â¥ 9. Biological triplicates were performed for each condition tested.

Project description:Switch defective/sucrose non-fermentable chromatin remodeling complexes are multi-subunit machines that play vital roles in regulating chromatin structure and gene expression. However, how SWI/SNF complexes recognize target loci is still not fully understood. Here, we show that Arabidopsis bromodomain-containing homologous proteins, BRD1, BRD2 and BRD13, are core subunits of SWI/SNF complexes that are required for SWI/SNF genomic targeting. The three BRDs directly interact with multiple SWI/SNF subunits, including the BRAHMA (BRM) catalytic subunit. Phenotypic and transcriptome analysis of the brd1 brd2 brd13 triple mutants showed that the BRDs act in large redundancy to control developmental processes and gene expression that are also regulated by BRM. BRDs extensively co-localize with BRM on chromatin. brd1 brd2 brd13 mutation results in the reduced BRM protein levels and genome-wide targeting on chromatin. Finally, we demonstrate that the bromodomain of BRD2 is essential for genomic targeting of BRD2, highlighting the role of this reader domain in the recruitment of BRM-containing SWI/SNF complexes to target sites in plants. SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes are evolutionarily conserved and is confirmed to use the energy derived from hydrolysis of ATP to alter the density or the position of nucleosomes on the DNA or the composition of histone octamer. Bromodomain, an acetylated histone interaction module, was found in chromatin remodeling factors. During the 29 Arabidopsis bromodomain-containing protein, like GCN5 and GTE4/6, their function has been reported. Here, we reported three BRM-interacting bromodomain-containing protein, BRD1, BRD2 and BRD13 are new core subunits of Arabidopsis SWI/SNF complexes. brd1/2/13 displayed a similar phenotype like brm, such as down-ward curled leaves, reduced fertility, shorter silique and root. Moreover, brm brd1/2/13 shows more serious phenotype just like brm-1. Y2H, Co-IP, RNA-seq and ChIP-seq assay reveal that BRDs interact with BRM at both protein and chromatin level. Future more, BRDs are required for BRM genome-wide occupancy and BRM might bind to chromatin via BRDs bromodomain by interacting with their BBC domain.
