Histone Modification02:32

Histone Modification

13.1K
The histone proteins have a flexible N-terminal tail extending out from the nucleosome. These histone tails are often subjected to post-translational modifications such as acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, and ubiquitination. Particular combinations of these modifications form “histone codes” that influence the chromatin folding and tissue-specific gene expression.
Acetylation
The enzyme histone acetyltransferase adds acetyl group to the histones. Another enzyme, histone...

Erythropoiesis01:14

Erythropoiesis

4.1K
Red blood cells  (RBCs) transport oxygen to all body tissues. These cells survive only for 120 days and then need to be replenished. Erythropoiesis is the process of RBC production. In healthy individuals, erythropoiesis ensures all tissues are amply supplied with oxygen. In addition, blood loss due to injury leads to a drop in the physiological oxygen level that will cause erythropoiesis. Any defect in erythropoiesis leads to several physiological disorders, including thalassemia, anemia,...

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting01:45

Regulation of Nuclear Protein Sorting

2.4K
Nuclear protein sorting regulates nucleus composition and gene expression, crucial for determining the fate of a eukaryotic cell. Hence, the entry and exit of molecules across the nuclear envelope is a tightly controlled process. Nuclear protein sorting can be inhibited by one of the following ways: 1) masking cargo signal sequences, 2) modifying the nuclear receptor's affinity for cargo, 3) controlling the nuclear pore size, 4) retaining the cargo during its transit to the cytosol or the...

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators02:04

Covalently Linked Protein Regulators

6.8K
Proteins can undergo many types of post-translational modifications, often in response to changes in their environment. These modifications play an important role in the function and stability of these proteins. Covalently linked molecules include functional groups, such as methyl, acetyl, and phosphate groups, and also small proteins, such as ubiquitin. There are around 200 different types of covalent regulators that have been identified.
These groups modify specific amino acids in a protein....

Epigenetic Regulation01:37

Epigenetic Regulation

3.0K
Epigenetic changes alter the physical structure of the DNA without changing the genetic sequence and often regulate whether genes are turned on or off. This regulation ensures that each cell produces only proteins necessary for its function. For example, proteins that promote bone growth are not produced in muscle cells. Epigenetic mechanisms play an essential role in healthy development. Conversely, precisely regulated epigenetic mechanisms are disrupted in diseases like cancer.

Protein Modifications in the RER01:26

Protein Modifications in the RER

5.1K
Modification of secretory and transmembrane proteins entering the rough ER begins in the ER lumen. These modifications aid in protein folding and stabilize the acquired tertiary structure. Protein modifications in the rough ER co-occur at different stages of protein folding.
Broadly, these modifications can be categorized into four main categories — glycosylation, formation of disulfide bonds, assembly of protein subunits, and specific proteolytic cleavages like removal of signal...

Area of Science:

  • Biochemistry
  • Molecular Biology
  • Hematology

Background:

  • Lysine succinylation (Ksu) is an emerging post-translational modification regulating diverse biological functions.
  • The specific role of lysine succinylation in erythropoiesis, the process of red blood cell formation, is not fully understood.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To elucidate the systemic and precise role of lysine succinylation in human erythroid differentiation.
  • To identify key succinylated proteins and regulatory mechanisms involved in erythropoiesis.

Main Methods:

  • Analysis of succinyl-CoA and lysine succinylation levels during human erythroid differentiation.
  • Inhibition of succinylation via knockdown of succinyltransferases or overexpression of desuccinylases (e.g., SIRT5).
  • Integrative proteome and succinylome analysis to identify succinylated proteins and sites.

Main Results:

  • A prominent increase in succinyl-CoA and lysine succinylation was observed during erythroid differentiation.
  • Inhibition of succinylation suppressed cell proliferation, increased apoptosis, and disrupted erythroid differentiation.
  • Integrative analysis identified 939 succinylated proteins with 3,562 Ksu sites, with some succinylation levels independent of protein expression.
  • KAT2A-mediated succinylation of histone H3 K79 was implicated in chromatin remodeling and erythropoiesis regulation.
  • CYCS succinylation at K28/K40 was identified as crucial for its regulatory function in erythropoiesis.

Conclusions:

  • Lysine succinylation plays a critical regulatory role in human erythroid differentiation.
  • Targeting lysine succinylation pathways may offer therapeutic potential for erythroid-related diseases.
