Epigenetics and beyond: targeting writers of protein lysine methylation to treat disease

Kamakoti P. Bhat et al.

Summary: Protein lysine methylation is a crucial post-translational modification that plays a role in various diseases. Drugs targeting specific KMTs have been developed, with some already approved for clinical use and others under evaluation. These KMTs are emerging as promising new targets for drug development to treat diverse diseases.

Polycomb Gene Silencing Mechanisms: PRC2 Chromatin Targeting, H3K27me3 'Readout', and Phase Separation-Based Compaction

Yiran Guo et al.

Summary: The modulation of chromatin structure and/or modification by Polycomb repressive complexes (PRCs) plays a crucial role in partitioning the genome and regulating gene activity. PRC2 enzymatic activity and its interaction with cofactors, DNA elements, histones, RNA, and effectors such as canonical PRC1 are intricately regulated to mediate gene silencing through mechanisms like chromatin compaction and histone deacetylation. Understanding the structural architecture and regulation of PRC2, as well as the molecular mechanisms of Polycomb-mediated gene silencing, has significant implications in biology and medicine.

A selective WDR5 degrader inhibits acute myeloid leukemia in patient-derived mouse models

Xufen Yu et al.

Summary: This study proposes pharmacological degradation of WDR5 as a promising therapeutic strategy for treating WDR5-dependent tumors and presents two high-resolution crystal structures of WDR5-degrader-E3 ligase ternary complexes. The designed WDR5 degrader, MS67, potently and selectively depleted WDR5, demonstrating higher efficacy than WDR5 PPI inhibitors in suppressing transcription of WDR5-regulated genes and inhibiting cancer cell proliferation. These findings suggest structure-based design can effectively identify highly active degraders for potential treatment of WDR5-dependent cancers.

ZMYND11-MBTD1 induces leukemogenesis through hijacking NuA4/TIP60 acetyltransferase complex and a PWWP-mediated chromatin association mechanism

Jie Li et al.

Summary: This study reveals that the fusion gene ZMYND11-MBTD1 (ZM) induces AML in a subset of patients by activating the NuA4/TIP60 histone acetyltransferase complex. ZM directly regulates the expression of pro-leukemic genes, promoting the development of AML through sustaining an active chromatin state.

Integrated requirement of non-specific and sequence-specific DNA binding in Myc-driven transcription

Paola Pellanda et al.

Summary: Eukaryotic transcription factors have both specific DNA sequence motif recognition and non-specific DNA-binding activity. Non-specific DNA binding is essential for engaging with genomic regulatory regions, while sequence recognition contributes to transcriptional activation by stabilizing Myc onto DNA and unexpectedly promoting its transcriptional activity. The seemingly pervasive genome interaction profiles detected by ChIP-seq actually encompass diverse DNA-binding modes driving defined, sequence-dependent transcriptional responses.

Phase separation drives aberrant chromatin looping and cancer development

Jeong Hyun Ahn et al.

Summary: The development of cancer is closely associated with genetic abnormalities targeting proteins with intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs), which play a crucial role in leukaemic transformation. The presence of IDRs within chimera transcription factors promotes liquid-liquid phase separation (LLPS), enhancing their genomic targeting and inducing aberrant three-dimensional chromatin structure during tumourous transformation.

MYC protein interactors in gene transcription and cancer

Corey Lourenco et al.

Summary: The transcription factor and oncoprotein MYC plays a critical role in many human cancers, with its ability to interact with multiple proteins enabling it to regulate key control points of gene transcription. This 'coalition model' of protein interactions allows MYC to function as a potent oncoprotein, and provides a potential therapeutic target for impeding MYC oncogenesis.
