Project description:Recent studies have reported that glycosphingolipids (GSL) might be involved in obesity induced insulin resistance. Those reports suggested that inhibition of GSL biosynthesis in animals ameliorated insulin sensitivity accompanied with improved glycemic control leading to decreased liver steatosis in obese mice. In addition, GSL depletion altered hepatic secretory function. In those studies, ubiquitously acting inhibitors for GSL-biosynthesis have been used to inhibit function of the enzyme Ugcg (UDP-glucose:ceramide glucosyltransferase), catalyzing the first step of the glucosylceramide based GSL-synthesis pathway. In the present study, a genetic approach for GSL deletion in hepatocytes was chosen to achieve full inhibition of GSL synthesis and to prevent possible adverse effects caused by Ugcg-inhibitors. Using the Cre/loxP system under control of the albumin promoter, GSL biosynthesis in hepatocytes and their release into the plasma could be effectively blocked. Deletion of GSL in hepatocytes did not change quantity of bile excretion through the biliary duct. Total bile salt content in bile-, feces- and plasma from mutant mice showed no difference as compared to control animals. Cholesterol concentration in liver-, bile-, feces- and plasma-samples remained unaffected. Lipoprotein concentration in plasma-samples in mutant animals reached similar levels as in their control littermates. No alteration in glucose tolerance after intraperitoneal application of glucose and insulin appeared in mutant animals. A preventive effect of GSL-deficiency on development of liver steatosis after high fat diet feeding could not be observed. Conclusion: The data suggest that GSL in hepatocytes are not essential for sterol, glucose and lipoprotein metabolism and do not prevent high fat diet-induced liver steatosis, indicating that Ugcg inhibitors exert their effect on hepatocytes either independently of GSL or mediated by other (liver) cell types.

Project description:Sulfur-deficiency-induced repressor proteins optimize glucosinolate biosynthesis in plants Glucosinolates (GSLs) in the plant order of the Brassicales are sulfur-rich secondary metabolites harboring anti-pathogenic and anti-herbivory plant-protective functions as well as possessing medicinal properties such as carcinopreventive and antibiotic activities. Plants repress GSL biosynthesis upon sulfur deficiency (–S), hence, field performance and medicinal quality are impaired by inadequate sulfate supply. The molecular mechanism linking –S to GSL biosynthesis has remained understudied. We report here the identification of the –S marker genes Sulfur deficiency induced1 and Sulfur deficiency induced2 (SDI1, SDI2) acting as major repressors controlling GSL biosynthesis in Arabidopsis under –S condition. SDI1 and SDI2 expression negatively correlated with GSL biosynthesis in both transcript and metabolite levels. Principal component analysis of transcriptome data indicated that SDI1 regulates aliphatic GSL biosynthesis as part of –S-response. SDI1 was localized to the nucleus and interacted with MYB28, a major transcription factor promoting aliphatic GSL biosynthesis, in both yeast and plant cells. SDI1 inhibited transcription of aliphatic GSL biosynthetic genes through maintaining the DNA-binding composition in a form of a SDI1-MYB28 complex, leading to down-regulate GSL biosynthesis and prioritize sulfate usage for primary metabolites under sulfur-deprived conditions.

Project description:In this study, we found that a light signaling factor, Long Hypocotyl 5 (HY5) is closely involved in the regulation of GSLs contents in light condition. In addition, HY5 was shown to physically interact with a histone deacetylase HDA9 and bind to proximal promoter region of MYB29 and IMD1 to suppress aliphatic GSL biosynthetic process. These results demonstrate that HY5 acts to suppress GSL accumulation at daytime, thus properly modulating the GSL contents on a daily basis of Arabidopsis plant.

Project description:Dnmt1 epigenetically propagates symmetrical CG methylation in many eukaryotes. Their genomes are typically depleted of CG dinucleotides because of imperfect repair of deaminated methylcytosines. Here, we extensively survey diverse species lacking Dnmt1 and show that, surprisingly, symmetrical CG methylation is nonetheless frequently present and catalyzed by a different DNA methyltransferase family, Dnmt5. Numerous Dnmt5-containing organisms that diverged more than a billion years ago exhibit clustered methylation, specifically in nucleosome linkers. Clustered methylation occurs at unprecedented densities and directly disfavors nucleosomes, contributing to nucleosome positioning between clusters. Dense methylation is enabled by a regime of genomic sequence evolution that enriches CG dinucleotides and drives the highest CG frequencies known. Species with linker methylation have small, transcriptionally active nuclei that approach the physical limits of chromatin compaction. These features constitute a previously unappreciated genome architecture, in which dense methylation influences nucleosome positions, likely facilitating nuclear processes under extreme spatial constraints.
