Project description:Myc is an oncogenic transcription factor frequently dysregulated in human cancer. To identify pathways supporting the Myc oncogenic program, we employed a genome-wide RNAi screen for Myc-synthetic-lethal (MySL) genes and uncovered a role for the SUMO-activating-enzyme (SAE1/2). Loss of SAE1/2 enzymatic activity drives synthetic lethality with Myc. Mechanistically, SAE2 inhibition switches a transcriptional subprogram of Myc from activated to repressed. A subset of these SUMOylation-dependent Myc-switchers (SMS genes) governs mitotic spindle function and is required to support the Myc oncogenic program. comparison of 4 treatments: normal HMEC, High Myc in HMEC, SUMO depleted in HMEC, High Myc+Sumo Depleted in HMEC

Project description:Genome wide localization of SUMO1 and SUMO2/3 proteins revealed an asscociation of SUMO proetins with active chromatin. SUMO proteins are enriched at super enhancers and enhancers and SUMOylation regulates a subset of these super enhancers. Super enhancers regulated by SUMOylation were enriched for transcription factor TFAP2C and SUMOylation negatively regulates TFAP2C localization to enhancers and super enhancers. Proteomics and ChIP-PCR at MYC SE suggests that chromatin bound TFAP2C recruits histone deacetylation complexes that increases upon SAE2 knockdown. Conversely, SUMOylation promoted TFAP2C asscociation with pre-mRNA splicing machinery components. Taken together, our study revealed a critical role of SUMOylation in chromatin modification through an AP-2 family of transcription factor, TFAP2C and a potential role of TFAP2C in pre-mRNA splicing.

Project description:SUMOylation, a post-translational protein modification, is dramatically upregulated and critically involved in heat stress response conservatively among species. Previous studies in Arabidopsis indicated that numerous chromatin associated proteins are SUMOylation substrates and most of heat-enhancing SUMOylation reactions occur in nucleus. However, the global functional connection between gene expression regulation and SUMOylation on chromatin is completely unknown in plant cells. Here we show a genome-wide relationship of chromatin-associated SUMOylation and transcription switches under room temperature, heat stress, and recovering conditions in Arabidopsis. The SUMO-associated chromatin sites, characterized via whole-genome ChIP-seq assays, are generally correlated with active chromatin markers. In response to heat stress, we found chromatin-associated SUMO signals increased at promoter-transcriptional start site regions and decreased in the gene bodies. Further RNA-seq analysis supported the role of chromatin-associated SUMOylation in activation of transcription during rapid responses to high temperature. Changing of SUMO signals on chromatin is correlated with upregulation of heat-responsive genes and downregulation of growth-related genes. Disruption of the SUMO ligase gene SIZ1 abolishes SUMO signals on chromatin and attenuates the rapid transcriptional responses to heat stress. Interestingly, the SUMO signal peaks are enriched in DNA elements recognized by distinguished groups of transcription factors under different temperature conditions. Collectively, our data provide evidence that SUMOylation on chromatin regulates transcription switches during development and heat stress response, improving our understanding on the precise roles of SUMOylation in plant cells.

Project description:Small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) family proteins regulate target protein functions by post-translational modification. However, a potent and selective inhibitor to target the SUMO pathway has been lacking. Here we describe ML-792, the first mechanism-based SUMO-activating enzyme (SAE) inhibitor with nanomolar potency in cellular assays. ML-792 selectively blocks SAE enzyme activity and total SUMOylation, which leads to reduced cancer cell proliferation. Moreover, induction of the MYC oncogene increased the ML-792 mediated viability effect in cancer cells, indicating potential application of SAE inhibitors in MYC-amplified tumors. Using ML-792, we further explored the critical roles of SUMOylation in mitotic progression and chromosome segregation. Furthermore, expression of an SAE catalytic subunit (UBA2) mutant S95N/M97T rescued SUMOylation loss and the mitotic defect induced by ML-792, confirming the selectivity of ML-792. As a potent and selective SAE inhibitor, ML-792 provides rapid loss of endogenously SUMOylated proteins allowing for novel insights into SUMO biology.

Project description:The post-translational protein modification known as SUMOylation has conserved roles in the heat stress responses of various species. The functional connection between the global regulation of gene expression and chromatin-associated SUMOylation in plant cells isunknown. Here, we uncovereda genome-wide relationship between chromatin-associated SUMOylation and transcriptional switches in Arabidopsis thaliana grown at room temperature, exposed to heat stress, and exposed to heat stress followed by recovery. The small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO)-associated chromatin sites, characterized by whole-genome ChIP-seq, were generally associated with active chromatin markers. In response to heat stress, chromatin-associated SUMO signals increased at promoter-transcriptional start site regions and decreased in gene bodies. RNAseqanalysissupportedthe role ofchromatin-associatedSUMOylationin transcriptionalactivation duringrapid responses to high temperature. Changes inSUMO signals on chromatinwere associated with the upregulation ofheat-responsivegenesandthedownregulationofgrowth-relatedgenes.DisruptionoftheSUMOligasegene SIZ1 abolished SUMO signals on chromatin and attenuated rapid transcriptional responses to heat stress. The SUMO signal peaks were enriched in DNA elements recognized by distinct groups of transcription factors under different temperature conditions. These observations provide evidence that chromatin-associated SUMOylation regulates the transcriptional switch between development and heat stress response in plant cells.

Project description:Natural products (NP) encompass a rich source of bioactive chemical entities. Hence, NPs-derived compounds represent the majority of drugs currently approved to treat cancer. Here, we used human cancer stem cells (CSCs) in a chemical genomics campaign with NP chemical space to interrogate extracts from diverse strains of actinomycete for anti-cancer properties. We identified a compound (SCCRI025044), capable of selectively inhibiting human CSC function vs. normal stem cell (SC) counterparts. Biochemical and molecular studies revealed that SCCRI025044 exerts inhibition on human CSCs through the small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) cascade, found to be hyperactive in human CSCs. SCCRI025044 impedes SUMOylation pathway via direct targeting of the SAE1/2 complex. Treatment of patient-derived CSCs resulted in reduced levels of SUMOylated proteins and suppression of progenitor and stem cell capacity measured in vitro and in vivo. Our study overcomes a barrier in chemically inhibiting oncogenic SUMOylation activity and uncovers a unique role for SAE2 in human CSC biology.

Project description:Breast cancer is genetically heterogeneous, and recent studies have underlined a prominent contribution of epigenetics to the development of this disease. To uncover new synthetic lethalities with known breast cancer oncogenes, we screened an epigenome-focused short hairpin RNA library on a panel of engineered breast epithelial cell lines. Here we report a selective interaction between the NOTCH1 signaling pathway and the SUMOylation cascade. Knockdown of the E2-conjugating enzyme UBC9 (UBE2I) as well as inhibition of the E1-activating complex SAE1/UBA2 using ginkgolic acid impairs the growth of NOTCH1-activated breast epithelial cells. We show that upon inhibition of SUMOylation NOTCH1-activated cells proceed slower through the cell cycle and ultimately enter apoptosis. Mechanistically, activation of NOTCH1 signaling depletes the pool of unconjugated small ubiquitin-like modifier 1 (SUMO1) and SUMO2/3 leading to increased sensitivity to perturbation of the SUMOylation cascade. Depletion of unconjugated SUMO correlates with sensitivity to inhibition of SUMOylation also in patient-derived breast cancer cell lines with constitutive NOTCH pathway activation. Our investigation suggests that SUMOylation cascade inhibitors should be further explored as targeted treatment for NOTCH-driven breast cancer. We treated MCF10A and NOTCH1 cells with either DMSO or ginkgolic acid 30 uM for 3 days. Two replicates have been analysed for each condition.
