Abstract Histone H3 monoaminylations at Gln5 represent an important family of epigenetic marks in brain that have critical roles permissive gene expression 1–3 . We previously demonstrated serotonylation 4–10 and dopaminylation 9,11–13 histone (H3Q5ser H3Q5dop, respectively) are catalysed by transglutaminase 2 (TG2), alter both local global chromatin states. Here we found TG2 additionally functions as eraser exchanger monoaminylations, including H3Q5 histaminylation (H3Q5his), which displays diurnally rhythmic contributes to circadian behaviour. H3Q5his, contrast H3Q5ser, inhibits the binding WDR5, a core member Lys4 (H3K4) methyltransferase complexes, thereby antagonizing activities on H3K4. Taken together, these data elucidate mechanism through single regulatory enzyme has ability sense chemical microenvironments affect states cells, dynamics regulation neural rhythmicity.

The diversity and dynamics of proteins play essential roles in maintaining the basic constructions functions cells. abundance functional is regulated by transcription translation processes, while alternative splicing enables same gene to generate distinct protein isoforms different lengths. Beyond transcriptional translational regulations, post-translational modifications (PTMs) are able further expand scope proteins. PTMs have been shown make significant changes surface charges, structures, activation states, interactome Due complexity, highly dynamic nature, low presence percentage, study remains challenging.

Histone dopaminylation is a newly identified epigenetic mark that plays role in the regulation of gene transcription, where an isopeptide bond formed between fifth amino acid H3 (i.e., glutamine) and dopamine. Recently, we developed chemical probe to specifically label enrich histone via bioorthogonal chemistry. Given this powerful tool, found glutamine 5 (H3Q5dop) was highly enriched colorectal tumors, which could be attributed high expression level its regulator, transglutaminase 2 (TGM2), colon cancer cells. Due enzyme promiscuity TGM2, nonhistone proteins have also been as targets; however, dopaminylated proteome cells still remains elusive. Here, utilized our from manner performed proteomics analysis. Therefore, 425 were identified, many are involved nucleic metabolism transcription pathways. More importantly, number sites successful application probe. Overall, these findings shed light on significant association cellular protein development, further suggesting targeting pathways may become promising anticancer strategy.
