在氮源缺乏及信息素存在的条件下,裂殖酵母(Schizosaccharomyces pombe)进行减数分裂并完成产孢。在此过程中,信息素介导的MAPK(Mitogen-activated protein kinases)信号通路调控减数分裂相关基因的表达。Spk1是MAPK通路的核心成员,通过蛋白磷酸化的方式激活转录因子Ste11,从而激活mei2+、mam2+和map3+等减数分裂相关基因的表达。尽管组蛋白H3K4甲基化参与基因转录激活、染色质重塑等诸多生物学过程,但其在裂殖酵母产孢过程中的作用并不清楚。文章通过序列比对,发现裂殖酵母Ash2作为H3K4甲基转移酶复合物COMPASS的亚基具有两个保守的结构域,定位于细胞核内参与H3K4的甲基化修饰。ash2+的缺失引起裂殖酵母在氮源缺乏时产孢过程的延迟及产孢率下降。ChIP、定量PCR分析结果显示,ash2+的缺失降低了spk1+编码区H3K4的二甲基化水平,造成spk1+mRNA水平的明显下调。在ash2Δ细胞中,虽然ste11+的转录水平没有变化,但Ste11的靶基因mei2+、mam2+和map3+的转录水平明显下降。在裂殖酵母中,组蛋白H3K4甲基转移酶复合物COMPASS的亚基Ash2通过调控二甲基化水平修饰从而调节MAPK信号通路,参与裂殖酵母的有性生殖,为建立表观遗传修饰与减数分裂之间的联系提供了新的线索。 相似文献

The DNA glycosylase MutY homolog (Myh1) excises adenines misincorporated opposite guanines or 7,8-dihydro-8-oxo-guanines on DNA by base excision repair thereby preventing G:C to T:A mutations. Schizosaccharomyces pombe (Sp) Hst4 is an NAD+-dependent histone/protein deacetylase involved in gene silencing and maintaining genomic integrity. Hst4 regulates deacetylation of histone 3 Lys56 at the entry and exit points of the nucleosome core particle. Here, we demonstrate that the hst4 mutant is more sensitive to H2O2 than wild-type cells. H2O2 treatment results in an SpMyh1-dependent decrease in SpHst4 protein level and hyperacetylation of histone 3 Lys56. Furthermore, SpHst4 interacts with SpMyh1 and the cell cycle checkpoint Rad9-Rad1-Hus1 (9-1-1) complex. SpHst4, SpMyh1, and SpHus1 are physically bound to telomeres. Following oxidative stress, there is an increase in the telomeric association of SpMyh1. Conversely, the telomeric association of spHst4 is decreased. Deletion of SpMyh1 strongly abrogated telomeric association of SpHst4 and SpHus1. However, telomeric association of SpMyh1 is enhanced in hst4Δ cells in the presence of chronic DNA damage. These results suggest that SpMyh1 repair regulates the functions of SpHst4 and the 9-1-1 complex in maintaining genomic stability. 相似文献

The 5-HT1AR partial agonist PET radiotracer, [11C]CUMI-101, has advantages over an antagonist radiotracer as it binds preferentially to the high affinity state of the receptor and thereby provides more functionally meaningful information. The major drawback of C-11 tracers is the lack of cyclotron facility in many health care centers thereby limiting widespread clinical or research use. We identified the fluoroethyl derivative, 2-(4-(4-(2-(2-fluoroethoxy)phenyl)piperazin-1-yl)butyl)-4-methyl-1,2,4-triazine-3,5(2H,4H)dione (FECUMI-101) (Ki = 0.1 nM; Emax = 77%; EC50 = 0.65 nM) as a partial agonist 5-HT1AR ligand of the parent ligand CUMI-101. FECUMI-101 is radiolabeled with F-18 by O-fluoroethylation of the corresponding desmethyl analogue (1) with [18F]fluoroethyltosylate in DMSO in the presence of 1.6 equiv of K2CO3 in 45 ± 5% yield (EOS). PET shows [18F]FECUMI-101 binds specifically to 5-HT1AR enriched brain regions of baboon. The specificity of [18F]FECUMI-101 binding to 5-HT1AR was confirmed by challenge studies with the known 5-HT1AR ligand WAY100635. These findings indicate that [18F]FECUMI-101 can be a viable agonist ligand for the in vivo quantification of high affinity 5-HT1AR with PET. 相似文献
