Mechanism of Protein Acetylation in Mitochondria

Book Description
Reversible N-[epsilon]-acetylation has emerged as a widespread and regulatory modification throughout the cell. First identified on N-terminal histone tails over 50 years ago, acetylation has now been identified on over 36,000 lysine sites on organisms ranging from bacteria to mammals, highlighting the strong, conserved role for this modification. Acetylation is controlled by the opposing action of lysine acetyltransferases and deacetylases and recent evidence supports a role for nonenzymatic acetylation. Lysine acetylation influences many biochemical processes including: protein-protein and protein-DNA interactions, stability, cellular localization and enzymatic activity, which is thought to arise from neutralization of the positive charge on lysine residues at neutral pH. In mitochondria, acetylation generally acts as an inhibitory modification, altering protein interactions, lowered enzymatic activity and mislocalization of mitochondrial proteins. In this case, acetylation acts as a rheostat, modulating the degree of a biochemical process. Therefore, knowing the fraction of the protein that is modified, or stoichiometry, would provide critical information for understanding the regulatory effects of lysine acetylation. The mechanism of mitochondrial protein acetylation remains unknown. While there is a wealth of data supporting a dynamic and regulatory role for acetylation within mitochondria, there is very little evidence for an enzyme-catalyzed reaction. However, the conditions of the mitochondrial matrix: elevated acetyl-CoA levels and alkaline pH, raise the possibility that lysine acetylation can occur nonenzymatically. Throughout my thesis research, I have utilized chemical, biochemical, proteomic, and cellular studies to characterize protein acetylation. Specifically, I developed a mass spectrometry based approach to directly quantify lysine acetylation stoichiometry at the proteome-wide scale. Using this newly developed method, I measured the second order rate constants of nonenzymatic lysine acetylation using mitochondrial and non-mitochondrial proteins, highlighting the wide range of reactivities. The characterization of nonenzymatic rates of native protein demonstrates that the uncatalyzed reaction can account for the levels of acetylation in vivo. I also provide evidence that the majority of mitochondrial acetylation occurs within the mitochondria. Chapter 1 introduces lysine acetylation, the various processes controlling cellular levels including enzymatic and nonenzymatic, and why quantifying acetylation stoichiometry is needed. Chapter 2 discusses the mass spectrometry based method used for quantifying stoichiometry and its application in the model system, Escherichia coli. In chapter 3, I quantify the rates of nonenzymatic acetylation using a panel of mitochondrial and nonmitochondrial proteins, which highlights, for the first time, the wide range of lysine reactivities on native proteins. I then utilize an optimized version of the stoichiometry method to query mammalian lysine acetylation stoichiometry, revealing the wide distribution of acetylation across the cell. Conclusions, ongoing work, and future directions are presented in Chapter 5.

Epigenetics in Psychiatry
Author: Jacob Peedicayil
Publisher: Academic Press
ISBN: 0128235780
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 848
Book Description
Epigenetics in Psychiatry, Second Edition covers all major areas of psychiatry in which extensive epigenetic research has been performed, fully encompassing a diverse and maturing field, including drug addiction, bipolar disorder, epidemiology, cognitive disorders, and the uses of putative epigenetic-based psychotropic drugs. Uniquely, each chapter correlates epigenetics with relevant advances across genomics, transcriptomics, and proteomics. The book acts as a catalyst for further research in this growing area of psychiatry. This new edition has been fully revised to address recent advances in epigenetic understanding of psychiatric disorders, evoking data consortia (e.g., CommonMind, ATAC-seq), single cell analysis, and epigenome-wide association studies to empower new research. The book also examines epigenetic effects of the microbiome on psychiatric disorders, and the use of neuroimaging in studying the role of epigenetic mechanisms of gene expression. Ongoing advances in epigenetic therapy are explored in-depth. Fully revised to discuss new areas of research across neuronal stem cells, cognitive disorders, and transgenerational epigenetics in psychiatric disease Relates broad advances in psychiatric epigenetics to a modern understanding of the genome, transcriptome, and proteins Catalyzes knowledge discovery in both basic epigenetic biology and epigenetic targets for drug discovery Provides guidance in research methods and protocols, as well how to employ data from consortia, single cell analysis, and epigenome-wide association studies (EWAS) Features chapter contributions from international leaders in the field

Cancer as a Metabolic Disease
Author: Thomas Seyfried
Publisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118310306
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 482
Book Description
The book addresses controversies related to the origins of cancer and provides solutions to cancer management and prevention. It expands upon Otto Warburg's well-known theory that all cancer is a disease of energy metabolism. However, Warburg did not link his theory to the "hallmarks of cancer" and thus his theory was discredited. This book aims to provide evidence, through case studies, that cancer is primarily a metabolic disease requring metabolic solutions for its management and prevention. Support for this position is derived from critical assessment of current cancer theories. Brain cancer case studies are presented as a proof of principle for metabolic solutions to disease management, but similarities are drawn to other types of cancer, including breast and colon, due to the same cellular mutations that they demonstrate.
