Project description:During active DNA demethylation, 5-methylcytosine (5mC) is oxidized by TET proteins to 5-formyl-/5-carboxylcytosine (5fC/5caC) for replacement by unmethylated C by TDG-initiated DNA base excision repair (BER). Base excision generates fragile abasic (AP) sites in DNA and has to be coordinated with subsequent repair steps to limit accumulation of genome destabilizing secondary DNA lesions. Here, we show that 5fC/5caC is generated at a high rate in genomes of differentiating mouse embryonic stem cells and that SUMOylation and the BER protein XRCC1 play critical roles in orchestrating TDG-initiated BER of these lesions. SUMOylation of XRCC1 facilitates physical interaction with TDG and promotes the assembly of a TDG-BER core complex. Within this TDG-BERosome, SUMO is transferred from XRCC1 and coupled to the SUMO acceptor lysine in TDG, promoting its dissociation while assuring the engagement of the BER machinery to complete demethylation. Although well-studied, the biological importance of TDG SUMOylation has remained obscure. Here, we demonstrate that SUMOylation of TDG suppresses DNA strand-break accumulation and toxicity to PARP inhibition in differentiating mESCs, and is essential for neural lineage commitment.

Project description:In addition to the glucocorticoids, the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) is regulated by post-translational modifications, including SUMOylation. We have analyzed how SUMOylation influences the activity of endogenous GR target genes and the receptor chromatin binding by using isogenic HEK293 cells expressing wild-type GR (wtGR) or SUMOylation-defective GR (GR3KR). Gene expression profiling revealed that both dexamethasone up- and downregulated genes are affected by the GR SUMOylation and that the affected genes are significantly associated with pathways of cellular proliferation and survival. The GR3KR-expressing cells proliferated more rapidly, and their anti-proliferative response to dexamethasone was less pronounced than in the wtGR-expressing cells. ChIP-seq analyses indicated that the SUMOylation modulates the chromatin occupancy of GR on several loci associated with cellular growth in a fashion that parallels with their differential dexamethasone-regulated expression between the two cell lines. Moreover, chromatin SUMO-2/3 marks, which were associated with active GR-binding sites, showed markedly higher overlap with the wtGR cistrome than with the GR3KR cistrome. In sum, our results indicate that the SUMOylation does not simply repress the GR activity, but regulates the activity of the receptor in a target locus selective fashion, playing an important role in controlling the GR activity on genes influencing cell growth.

Project description:Angiogenesis contributes fundamentally to embryonic development, tissue homeostasis, and wound healing. Basic fibroblast growth factor (FGF2) is recognized as the first proangiogenic molecule discovered, and it facilitates angiogenesis by activating FGF receptor 1 (FGFR1) signaling in endothelial cells. However, the precise roles of FGFR and the FGF/FGFR signaling axis in angiogenesis remain unclear, especially because of the contradictory phenotypes of in vivo FGF and FGFR gene deficiency models. Our previous study results suggested a potential role of posttranslational small ubiquitin-like modifier modification (SUMOylation), with highly dynamic regulatory features, in vascular development and disorder. Here, we identified SENP1-regulated endothelial FGFR1 SUMOylation at conserved lysines responding to proangiogenic stimuli, while SENP1 functioned as the deSUMOylase. Hypoxia-enhanced FGFR1 SUMOylation restricted the tyrosine kinase activation of FGFR1 by modulating the dimerization of FGFR1 and FGFR1 binding with its phosphatase PTPRG. Consequently, it facilitated the recruitment of FRS2α to VEGFR2 but limited additional recruitment of FRS2α to FGFR1, supporting the activation of VEGFA/VEGFR2 signaling in endothelial cells. Furthermore, SUMOylation-defective mutation of FGFR1 resulted in exaggerated FGF2/FGFR1 signaling but suppressed VEGFA/VEGFR2 signaling and the angiogenic capabilities of endothelial cells, which were rescued by FRS2α overexpression. Reduced angiogenesis and endothelial sprouting in mice bearing an endothelial-specific, FGFR1 SUMOylation-defective mutant confirmed the functional significance of endothelial FGFR1 SUMOylation in vivo. Our findings identify the reversible SUMOylation of FGFR1 as an intrinsic fine-tuned mechanism in coordinating endothelial angiogenic signaling during neovascularization; SENP1-regulated FGFR1 SUMOylation and deSUMOylation controls the competitive recruitment of FRS2α by FGFR1 and VEGFR2 to switch receptor-complex formation responding to hypoxia and normoxia angiogenic environments.

Project description:Nitazoxanide (Alinia(®), NTZ) and tizoxanide (TIZ), its active circulating metabolite, belong to a class of agents known as thiazolides (TZD) endowed with broad anti-infective activities. TIZ and RM-4848, the active metabolite of RM-5038, were shown to stimulate innate immunity in vitro. Because natural resistance to HIV-1 infection in HIV-exposed seronegative (HESN) individuals is suggested to be associated with strong innate immune responses, we verified whether TIZ and RM-4848 could reduce the in vitro infectiousness of HIV-1. Peripheral blood mononuclear cells (PBMCs) from 20 healthy donors were infected in vitro with HIV-1BaL in the presence/absence of TIZ or RM4848. HIV-1 p24 were measured at different timepoints. The immunomodulatory abilities of TZD were evaluated by the expression of type I IFN pathway genes and the production of cytokines and chemokines. TZD drastically inhibited in vitro HIV-1 replication (>87%). This was associated with the activation of innate immune responses and with the up-regulation of several interferon-stimulated genes (ISGs), including those involved in cholesterol pathway, particularly the cholesterol-25 hydroxylase (CH25H). TZD inhibition of HIV-1 replication in vitro could be due to their ability to stimulate potent and multifaceted antiviral immune responses. These data warrant the exploration of TZD as preventive/therapeutic agent in HIV infection.

Project description:The innate immune system plays a critical role in the initial antiviral response. However, the timing and duration of these responses must be tightly regulated during infection to ensure appropriate immune cell activation and anti-viral defenses. Here we demonstrate that during antiviral response, a negative regulator miR-221 was also induced in an ELF4-dependent manner. We further show that ELF4 promotes miR-221 expression through direct binding to its promoter. Overexpression and knockdown assay show that miR-221 can negatively regulate IFN? production in time of virus infection. RNA-seq analysis of miR-221 overexpressed cells revealed multiple candidate targets. Taken together, our study identified a novel negative microRNA regulator of innate antiviral response, which is dependent on ELF4.

Project description:During retroviral infection, viral capsids are subject to restriction by the cellular factor TRIM5?. Here, we show that dendritic cells (DCs) derived from human and non-human primate species lack efficient TRIM5?-mediated retroviral restriction. In DCs, endogenous TRIM5? accumulates in nuclear bodies (NB) that partly co-localize with Cajal bodies in a SUMOylation-dependent manner. Nuclear sequestration of TRIM5? allowed potent induction of type I interferon (IFN) responses during infection, mediated by sensing of reverse transcribed DNA by cGAS. Overexpression of TRIM5? or treatment with the SUMOylation inhibitor ginkgolic acid (GA) resulted in enforced cytoplasmic TRIM5? expression and restored efficient viral restriction but abrogated type I IFN production following infection. Our results suggest that there is an evolutionary trade-off specific to DCs in which restriction is minimized to maximize sensing. TRIM5? regulation via SUMOylation-dependent nuclear sequestration adds to our understanding of how restriction factors are regulated.
