Lack of activity of recombinant HIF prolyl hydroxylases (PHDs) on reported non-HIF substrates

ABSTRACT: Hypoxia Inducible Factor (HIF) prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD) enzymes catalyse the posttranslational hydroxylation of conserved prolyl residues in the alpha-subunit of the HIF transcription factor. These modifications, which promote the degradation of HIF-alpha subunits by the pVHL E3 ligase complex and impart oxygen-dependent regulation of the HIF transcriptional response, have been extensively characterised at the molecular, cellular and organismal level. Since the discovery of the PHDs, a range of less well-characterised non-HIF substrates have been reported with the potential to confer oxygen-sensitivity to a diverse range of cellular processes. We sought to systematically compare all of the reported non-HIF substrates for their ability to support PHD-catalysed hydroxylation. We performed a comprehensive series of in vitro hydroxylation assays reacting synthetic peptides and full-length protein substrates generated by in vitro transcription and translation with purified recombinant enzyme preparations. Prolyl hydroxylation was assayed directly by mass spectrometry and radiochemical assay for hydroxyproline. Both methods enabled quantitative appraisal of enzyme-catalysed hydroxylation, with liquid chromatography mass spectrometry methods employing NMR-quantified peptide standards to calibrate retention time signatures and determine ionisation efficiencies for each target peptide. Using these approaches we assayed hydroxylation on 23 different proteins. Surprisingly, we did not detect measurable hydroxylation on any of the reported non-HIF substrates using either method. In contrast, control assays with HIF1-alpha substrate supported high stoichiometry (typically >90%) hydroxylation. Our findings suggest that PHD substrates are more restricted than has been reported.

Human and other animal cells deploy three closely related dioxygenases (PHD 1, 2 and 3) to signal oxygen levels by catalysing oxygen regulated prolyl hydroxylation of the transcription factor HIF. The discovery of the HIF prolyl-hydroxylase (PHD) enzymes as oxygen sensors raises a key question as to the existence and nature of non-HIF substrates, potentially transducing other biological responses to hypoxia. Over 20 such substrates are reported. We therefore sought to characterise their reactivi ...[more]

Project description:This a model from the article: Hypoxia-dependent sequestration of an oxygen sensor by a widespread structural motif can shape the hypoxic response - a predictive kinetic model Bernhard Schmierer, Béla Novák1 and Christopher J Schofield BMC Systems Biology2010, 4:139 20955552, Abstract: Background The activity of the heterodimeric transcription factor hypoxia inducible factor (HIF) is regulated by the post-translational, oxygen-dependent hydroxylation of its α-subunit by members of the prolyl hydroxylase domain (PHD or EGLN)-family and by factor inhibiting HIF (FIH). PHD-dependent hydroxylation targets HIFα for rapid proteasomal degradation; FIH-catalysed asparaginyl-hydroxylation of the C-terminal transactivation domain (CAD) of HIFα suppresses the CAD-dependent subset of the extensive transcriptional responses induced by HIF. FIH can also hydroxylate ankyrin-repeat domain (ARD) proteins, a large group of proteins which are functionally unrelated but share common structural features. Competition by ARD proteins for FIH is hypothesised to affect FIH activity towards HIFα; however the extent of this competition and its effect on the HIF-dependent hypoxic response are unknown. Results To analyse if and in which way the FIH/ARD protein interaction affects HIF-activity, we created a rate equation model. Our model predicts that an oxygen-regulated sequestration of FIH by ARD proteins significantly shapes the input/output characteristics of the HIF system. The FIH/ARD protein interaction is predicted to create an oxygen threshold for HIFα CAD-hydroxylation and to significantly sharpen the signal/response curves, which not only focuses HIFα CAD-hydroxylation into a defined range of oxygen tensions, but also makes the response ultrasensitive to varying oxygen tensions. Our model further suggests that the hydroxylation status of the ARD protein pool can encode the strength and the duration of a hypoxic episode, which may allow cells to memorise these features for a certain time period after reoxygenation. Conclusions The FIH/ARD protein interaction has the potential to contribute to oxygen-range finding, can sensitise the response to changes in oxygen levels, and can provide a memory of the strength and the duration of a hypoxic episode. These emergent properties are predicted to significantly shape the characteristics of HIF activity in animal cells. We argue that the FIH/ARD interaction should be taken into account in studies of the effect of pharmacological inhibition of the HIF-hydroxylases and propose that the interaction of a signalling sensor with a large group of proteins might be a general mechanism for the regulation of signalling pathways. There are there models described in the paper. 1) Skeleton Model 1 (SKM1) - HIFα CAD-hydroxylation in the absence of the FIH/AR-interaction. 2) Skeleton Model 2 (SKM2) - FIG sequestration by ARD proteins and oxygen-dependent FIH-release. 3) Full Model (Fusion of SKM1 and SKM2) - the effects of the FIH/ARD proteins interaction on HIFα CAD-hydroxylation. This model corresponds to the "Full Model" described in the paper. The model reproduces figure 5 of the publication.

Project description:The Jumonji domaining-containing protein JMJD6 is a 2-oxoglutarate dependent dioxygenase that has been implicated in a broad range of biological functions. Cellular studies have implicated the enzyme in chromatin biology, transcription, DNA repair, mRNA splicing and co-transcriptional processing. Although not all studies agree, JMJD6 has been reported to catalyse both hydroxylation of lysine residues and demethylation of arginine residues. However, despite extensive study and the indirect implication of JMJD6 catalysis in many cellular processes, direct assignment of JMJD6 catalytic substrates has been limited. Examination of a site of reported prolyl hydroxylation within a lysine-rich region of the bromodomain protein BRD4 led us to conclude that hydroxylation was in fact on lysine and catalysed by Jmjd6. This prompted a wider search for JMJD6-catalysed protein modifications deploying mass spectrometric methods designed to identify novel substrate associations and facilitate analysis of lysine-rich regions by LC-MSMS. Using derivatization of lysine with propionic anhydride to improve the analysis of tryptic peptides and a pharmacological inhibitor of JMJD6 to stabilise enzyme/substrate associations, we report over 100 sites of JMJD6-catalysed lysyl hydroxylation on 48 protein substrates including 19 sites of hydroxylation on BRD4. Most hydroxylations were within lysine-rich regions that are predicted to be unstructured; in some multiple modifications were observed on adjacent lysine residues. Almost all of the JMJD6 substrates defined in this study have been associated with membraneless organelle formation. Taken together with findings implicating lysine-rich regions in subcellular partitioning by liquid-liquid phase separation, our findings raise the possibility that JMJD6 may play a role in regulating such processes in response to stresses, including hypoxia. Note, this dataset corresponds to Figure 3 of the published manuscript; which employs a substrate-trapping methodology to identify novel substrates of JMJD6 by label free DIA approach.
