ABSTRACT: To understand how GCDH enhances the oncogenic traits in GSCs, we carried out comparative transcriptomic analysis in two patient-derived GSCs (GSC23, GSC3028) with or without GCDH depletion to identify the driving events. To further examine the connection between lysine catabolism and GSC functions, we controlled L-lysine culture concentrations (0.2 and 2 mM) of GSCs in lysine-deprived media and performed RNA-seq. To address the functional significance of ECHS1 loss in tumour biology, we carried out RNA-seq in two early-passage DGCs (DGC23, DGC3028) with or without ECHS1 depletion. Kcr, H3K27ac or H3K9me3 ChIP-seq was performed in GSC23 to understand the molecular basis of how GCDH loss or lysine restriction affects chromatin landscape.

Project description:We report the identification of 67 previously undescribed histone modifications, increasing the current number of known histone marks by about 70%. We further investigated one of the marks, lysine crotonylation (Kcr), confirming that it represents an evolutionarily-conserved histone posttranslational modification. The unique structure and genomic localization of histone Kcr suggest that it is mechanistically and functionally different from histone lysine acetylation (Kac). Specifically, in both human somatic and mouse male germ cell genomes, histone Kcr marks either active promoters or potential enhancers. In male germinal cells immediately following meiosis, Kcr is enriched on sex chromosomes and specifically marks testis-specific genes, including a significant proportion of X-linked genes that escape sex chromosome inactivation in haploid cells. These results therefore dramatically extend the repertoire of histone PTM sites and designate Kcr as a specific mark of active sex chromosome-linked genes in postmeiotic male germ cells. 2 histone marks (pan-lysine acetylation and pan-lysine crotonylation) were studied in 1 human cell type and 2 mouse cell types using ChIP-Seq. Input was sequenced for each cell type as a control. Pan-anti_Kac and pan-anti_Kcr antibodies were custom developed with PTM BioLab, Co., Ltd (Chicago, IL).
Project description:Histone lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a newly discovered post-translational modification (PTM) existing in mammalian. To assess relevance in histone Kcr and genome, we performed on genomic localization analysis of histone Kcr by ChIP-seq analysis.

Project description:Lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a recently-identified protein short-chain acylation. We have previously reported that chromodomain Y-like transcription corepressor CDYL acts as a crotonyl-CoA hydratase and negatively regulates histone Kcr. However, the global crotonylome of CDYL-regulated Kcr on non-histone substrates remains unclear. Using proteome-wide quantitative Kcr analysis, we identified 14,311 Kcr sites across 3,734 proteins in HeLa cells, providing by far the largest crotonylome data set from a single study. Upon depletion of CDYL, 1,141 Kcr sites from 759 proteins were increased by more than 1.5 fold, and 933 Kcr sites from 528 proteins were decreased by more than 0.67 fold. Upregulated crotonylome alterations upon CDYL depletion include components from diverse cellular pathways such as RNA splicing, DNA replication, and amino acid metabolism. Specifically, CDYL regulates K88 and K379 of crotonylation on RPA1, which affects its binding to other DNA repair factors including BLM, DNA2L, RAD50 and WRN. We showed evidence that CDYL-mediated RPA1 crotonylation is critical for the homologous recombination (HR) repair of camptothecin (CPT)-induced DNA damage. Together, our results provide a broad lysine crotonylome in response to CDYL and shed new light on the role of RPA1 Kcr in DNA repair, implicating functional importance of Kcr on non-histone substrates in diverse cellular processes.
Project description:Histone lysine crotonylation (Kcr) is a newly discovered protein post-translational modification (PTM), which was detected from yeast to humans and is mainly related with active transcription. With the development of proteomics technologies, high abundance of non-histone proteins modified by Kcr was also found recently. Here, we first report that lysine Kcr also occurs on cytoplasmic and mitochondrial proteins in common wheat (Triticum aestivum L.). We identified 4,696 Lys-acetylated sites on 1,726 proteins which involved in a wide variety of biological processes, such as chromatin-associated processes, Calvin-Benson cycle, glycolysis, protein metabolism and transport, which representing the largest dataset of lysine acylation proteome reported in the plant kingdom. Interestingly, 98 proteins were involved in multiple processes of photosynthesis, suggesting an important role of lysine Kcr in processes. In addition, 21 potentially specific Kcr motifs in wheat were detected. The protein interaction network analysis revealed that diverse interactions are modulated by protein Kcr. The overlap between Kcr and acetylation (Kac) indicated that they may coordinately regulate the function of some proteins in common wheat. Futhermore, comparative analysis indicated that lysine Kcr is conserved between common wheat and Nicotiana tabacum. Taken together, this study provided the first global survey of Kcr in wheat, making a promising starting point for further functional analysis of Kcr in plants.
Project description:In this work, we detected lysinebutyrylation (Kbu) and crotonylation(Kcr) sites in rice histone proteins by mass spectrometry, and found both similar and specific acylation patterns compared with that in mammalian cells. Comparative analysis of genome-wide histone Kbu, Kcr, and H3K9ac in combination of RNA-sequencing revealed that a large number of rice genes are marked by both Kbu and Kcr, most of which overlap with H3K9ac and are active genes. Under starvation and submergence, Kbu andKcr appeared to be less dynamic than H3K9ac and the three marks displayed changes in different sets of genes. Kbu and Kcr seemed to have a function to poise stress-induced gene activation. The results suggest that histone Kbu and Kcr provide a platform for histone acetylation during gene activation and that the proportional mixture of distinct histone lysine acylations which are regulated by environmental cues and has functionally consequence in chromatin modification and gene expression in plants.
Project description:To understand the underlying mechanism of YRDC, an enzyme catalysing the formation of N6-threonylcarbamoyladenosine (t6A) on ANN-decoding tRNAs, and the interplay between threonine and YRDC in glioblastoma stem cells (GSCs), we carried out comparative transcriptomic analysis in patient-derived GSC456 with or without YRDC deprivation and with or without threonine restriction (control media, 800 μM threonine; threonine-restricted media, 4 μM). To further investigate the translational regulation of YRDC and threonine in GSCs, we performed ribosome profiling in GSC456 with or without YRDC deprivation and with or without threonine restriction (control media, 800 μM threonine; threonine-restricted media, 4 μM).
