2019年1月28日,Cell系列子刊《MolecularCell》在线发表了题为Pacer is a mediator of mTORC1 andGSK3-TIP60 signaling in regulation of autophagosome maturation and lipidmetabolism 的研究论文。 该文主要是由浙江大学基础医学院及浙大附属第二医院孙启明课题组完成,程侠卫博士(课题组博后)是论文的第一作者,孙启明研究员是该论文通讯作者。该课题受到科技部重大研发计划、国家自然科学基金和浙江省自然科学基金资助。作为合作者,北京生命科学研究所沈志荣研究员、李琳和陈涉研究员,浙江大学基础医学院刘伟教授和刘婷研究员以及浙江大学附属第二医院龚渭华教授为这个工作的完成提供了大力支持。 自噬是基于溶酶体的胞内降解途径,对维持细胞的稳态维持有重要作用。自噬参与生物体发育、免疫反应、代谢调节、细胞凋亡和衰老等多种过程。 mTORC1 和GSK3在早期自噬过程中发挥着关键作用,但如何调节自噬的步骤仍然知之甚少。这里阐释了mTORC1和GSK3-TIP60信号通路共调节自噬体通过自噬调节器Pacer成熟,作者的最近研究证实了这一点。小鼠肝细胞特异性Pacer敲除后导致受损自噬、糖原和脂质积累和肝纤维化。在营养丰富的条件下, mTORC1磷酸化Pacer的丝氨酸位点,从而失去活性;然而当营养不足时,Pacer的去磷酸化后,被TIP60分子乙酰化,促进了HOPS的招募以便更好发挥功能,从而使自噬溶酶体形成。这项工作不仅发现Pacer作为肝脏自噬和体内肝脏稳态的调节因子,同时也揭示了参与调控后期自噬和脂质代谢的信号通路机制。 其中质谱结果是由Aims质谱协助完成,找到结果中Pacer的磷酸化位点及其乙酰化位点: 经过3年的磨练捶打,Aims质谱服务商已经为上百科研实验室提供相关质谱服务,并且保质保量有口皆碑,质谱并不高端,就是您发文章锦上添花的工具,欢迎朋友前来咨询相关业务。 原文链接 AIMS---蛋白质谱服务商,提供快速便捷的 LC-MS/MS 蛋白定性/定量检测。
动物、植物管控生老病死有两把小锁,最小的(含一个 C 原子)叫甲基化,次小的(碳链含两个 C )为乙酰化。生物体内一般都有娘胎里带来的金钥匙打开这两把小锁。 然而当碳链延长到含三个 C 的时候,小锁往往就长成了没有钥匙的镣铐,因为生物体内没有合适的酶将其解开,再加上这些生物镣铐造成的“共轭 = 交联 = 成环”自发生化反应除了两头上锁还来个中间反锁( Amadori 重排)。这些个碳链含三个 C 以至更长一些的小分子锁(如含三个 C 的有:甲基乙二醛、丙二醛、丙烯醛、羟基丙酮醛)往往就成了生物体内的毒药,或者是抑制生命活力(如单胺神经递质)的劫匪! 生物体从此积累应激灾变,甚至病变衰老。这个规律俺在科学网 N 年前就介绍过,这也是氧应激和糖应激衰老机理的核心机制(衰老生化机理的本质)。
大伯曾经问我:“我自从锻炼身体以后,感觉跟以前不同,是否锻炼可以改变我的基因?”这个问题让我迟疑了几秒钟。我勉强回答:“应该不会改变您的基因,但可以改变您的基因的状态。” 确实,人体内的绝大部分细胞的 DNA 序列是不会变的,但基因的表达水平会随着时间和环境因素的变化而变化。而调节这种变化的一个主要的途径是对包裹 DNA 的染色体的状态进行修饰,这些修饰包括 DNA 甲基化以及组蛋白的磷酸化、甲基化、乙酰化、泛素化等等。 一个人运动了以后,身体内的细胞肯定会接受到不同的刺激,这些刺激可以诱导以上所说的这些修饰。这是一个复杂的动态过程。 当然,代谢和染色体的修饰也有直接的联系。这种联系与乙酰辅酶 A 有关,因为乙酰辅酶 A 与细胞的合成和能量代谢有密切关系,另外,它也是蛋白乙酰化修饰的原料。

We show that lysine acetylation is a prevalent modification in enzymes that catalyze intermediate metabolism. Virtually every enzyme in glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, the tricarboxylic acid (TCA) cycle, the urea cycle, fatty acid metabolism, and glycogen metabolism was found to be acetylated in human liver tissue. The concentration of metabolic fuels, such as glucose, amino acids, and fatty acids, influenced the acetylation status of metabolic enzymes. Acetylation activated enoylcoenzyme A hydratase/3-hydroxyacylcoenzyme A dehydrogenase in fatty acid oxidation and malate dehydrogenase in the TCA cycle, inhibited argininosuccinate lyase in the urea cycle, and destabilized phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase in gluconeogenesis. Our study reveals that acetylation plays a major role in metabolic regulation. 1 School of Life Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai 20032, China. 2 Molecular and Cell Biology Lab, Fudan University, Shanghai 20032, China. 3 Center of Proteomics, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai 20032, China. 4 Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics, Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA. 5 Affiliated Zhongshan Hospital, Fudan University, Shanghai 20032, China. 6 Bioinformatics Center, Key Lab of Systems Biology, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 200031, China. 7 Medical Research Council Laboratory of Molecular Biology, Hills Road, Cambridge CB2 OQH, UK. 8 Department of Biological Chemistry, Fudan University, Shanghai 20032, China. 9 Department of Pharmacology and Moores Cancer Center, University of California, San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA.

We demonstrated that central metabolism enzymes in Salmonella were acetylated extensively and differentially in response to different carbon sources, concomitantly with changes in cell growth and metabolic flux. The relative activities of key enzymes controlling the direction of glycolysis versus gluconeogenesis and the branching between citrate cycle and glyoxylate bypass were all regulated by acetylation. This modulation is mainly controlled by a pair of lysine acetyltransferase and deacetylase, whose expressions are coordinated with growth status. Reversible acetylation of metabolic enzymes ensure that cells respond environmental changes via promptly sensing cellular energy status and flexibly altering reaction rates or directions. It represents a metabolic regulatory mechanism conserved from bacteria to mammals. 1 State Key Laboratory of Genetic Engineering, Department of Microbiology, School of Life Sciences and Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai 200032, China. 2 MOST-Shanghai Laboratory of Disease and Health Genomics, Chinese National Human Genome Center at Shanghai, Shanghai 201203, China. 3 Key Laboratory of Synthetic Biology, Bioinformatics Center and Laboratory of Systems Biology, Institute of Plant Physiology and Ecology, Shanghai Institutes for Biological Sciences, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Shanghai 200032, China. 4 Molecular Cell Biology Laboratory, Institute of Biomedical Sciences, Fudan University, Shanghai 200032, China. 5 Laboratory of Human Bacterial Pathogenesis, Department of Medical Microbiology and Parasitology, Institute of Medical Sciences, Shanghai Jiao Tong University School of Medicine, Shanghai 200025, China. 6 Department of Biochemistry and Biophysics and Lineberger Comprehensive Cancer Center, University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill, Chapel Hill, NC 27599, USA. 7 Department of Pharmacology and Moores Cancer Center, University of California San Diego, La Jolla, CA 92093, USA. 8 Department of Microbiology and Li Ka Shing Institute of Health Sciences, The Chinese University of Hong Kong, Prince of Wales Hospital, Shatin, New Territories, Hong Kong SAR, China. * To whom correspondence should be addressed.
