The Mediator-associated kinases CDK8 and CDK19 function in the context of three additional proteins: CCNC MED12, which activate CDK8/CDK19 kinase function, MED13, enables their association with Mediator complex. affect RNA polymerase II (pol II) transcription indirectly, through phosphorylation factors by controlling structure function. In this review, we discuss cellular roles mechanisms that enable biological functions. We focus on sequence-specific, DNA-binding other substrates, how or may metabolic transcriptional reprogramming enhancers chromatin looping. also summarize inhibitors therapeutic potential. Throughout, note conserved divergent functions between yeast mammalian CDK8, highlight many aspects module remain enigmatic, ranging from potential pol promoter-proximal pausing to liquid-liquid phase separation.

Chromatin regulation of somatic abiotic stress memory

Journal of Experimental Botany, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 71(17), С. 5269 - 5279

Abstract In nature, plants are often subjected to periods of recurrent environmental stress that can strongly affect their development and productivity. To cope with these conditions, remember a previous stress, which allows them respond more efficiently subsequent phenomenon known as priming. This ability be maintained at the somatic level for few days or weeks after is perceived, suggesting store information past during this recovery phase. While immediate responses single event have been extensively studied, knowledge on priming effects how memory stored still scarce. At molecular level, condition involves changes in chromatin structure organization, may independently from transcription. review, we will summarize most recent developments field discuss different levels regulation contribute plant abiotic memory.

Rebelled epigenome: histone H3S10 phosphorylation and H3S10 kinases in cancer biology and therapy

Clinical Epigenetics, Год журнала: 2020, Номер 12(1)

Abstract Background With the discovery that more than half of human cancers harbor mutations in chromatin proteins, deregulation epigenetic mechanisms has been recognized a hallmark malignant transformation. Post-translational modifications (PTMs) histone as main components regulatory machinery, are also broadly accepted therapeutic target. Current “epigenetic” therapies target predominantly writers, erasers and readers acetylation (to lesser extent) methylation, leaving other types PTMs largely unexplored. One them is phosphorylation serine 10 on H3 (H3S10ph). Main body H3S10ph emerging an important player initiation propagation cancer, it facilitates cellular transformation participates fundamental functions. In normal cells this mark dictates hierarchy additional involved formation protein binding scaffolds, transcriptional regulation, blocking repressive information shielding gene regions from heterochromatin spreading. During cell division, essential for chromosome condensation segregation. It function specific DNA–RNA hybrids, called R-loops, which modulate transcription facilitate chromosomal instability. Increase observed numerous cancer its abundance associated with inferior prognosis. Many H3S10-kinases, including MSK1/2, PIM1, CDK8 AURORA kinases, have long considered targets therapy. However, since these proteins participate critical processes, signal transduction, apoptotic signaling, metabolic fitness transcription, their functions often neglected. Conclusions enzymes responsible deposition modification activity oncogenesis.

Inducible epigenome editing probes for the role of histone H3K4 methylation in Arabidopsis heat stress memory

PLANT PHYSIOLOGY, Год журнала: 2022, Номер 189(2), С. 703 - 714

Опубликована: Март 11, 2022

Abstract Histone modifications play a crucial role in the integration of environmental signals to mediate gene expression outcomes. However, genetic and pharmacological interference often causes pleiotropic effects, creating urgent need for methods that allow locus-specific manipulation histone modifications, preferably an inducible manner. Here, we report system epigenome editing Arabidopsis (Arabidopsis thaliana) using heat-inducible dCas9 target JUMONJI (JMJ) H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) demethylase domain locus interest. As model locus, ASCORBATE PEROXIDASE2 (APX2) shows transcriptional memory after heat stress (HS), correlating with H3K4 hyper-methylation. We show dCas9–JMJ is targeted HS-dependent manner APX2 HS-induced overaccumulation trimethylation (H3K4me3) decreases when binds locus. This results reduced HS-mediated at Targeting enzymatically inactive JMJ protein analogous affected less than active protein; however, still observed decrease methylation levels. Thus, targeting was effective reducing effect not fully dependent on enzyme activity eraser domain, fusion may act part independently its activity. underlines caution design interpretation studies. expect our versatile be especially useful studying temporal dynamics chromatin modifications.

The Mediator kinase module enhances polymerase activity to regulate transcriptional memory after heat stress in Arabidopsis

The EMBO Journal, Год журнала: 2024, Номер 43(3), С. 437 - 461

Опубликована: Янв. 16, 2024

Abstract Plants are often exposed to recurring adverse environmental conditions in the wild. Acclimation high temperatures entails transcriptional responses, which prime plants better withstand subsequent stress events. Heat (HS)-induced memory results more efficient re-induction of transcription upon recurrence heat stress. Here, we identified CDK8 and MED12, two subunits kinase module co-regulator complex, Mediator, as promoters associated histone modifications Arabidopsis. is recruited heat-stress genes by HEAT SHOCK TRANSCRIPTION FACTOR A2 (HSFA2). Like HSFA2, largely dispensable for initial gene induction HS, its function thus independent primary activation. In addition promoter start region target genes, also binds their 3ʹ-region, where it may promote elongation, termination, or rapid re-initiation RNA polymerase II (Pol II) complexes during bursts. Our work presents a complex role Mediator multicellular eukaryotes, through interactions with factors, chromatin modifications, promotion Pol efficiency.
