Journal ArticleDOI
Identification of ‘erasers’ for lysine crotonylated histone marks using a chemical proteomics approach
Xiucong Bao,Yi Wang,Xin Li,Xiao-Meng Li,Zheng Liu,Tangpo Yang,Chi F.at Wong,Jiangwen Zhang,Quan Hao,Xiang D.avid Li +9 more
TL;DR: It is found that Sirt1, Sirt2, and Sirt3 can catalyze the hydrolysis of lysine crotonylated histone peptides and proteins and functions as a decrotonylase to regulate histone Kcr dynamics and gene transcription in living cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Glutarylation of Histone H4 Lysine 91 Regulates Chromatin Dynamics
Xiucong Bao,Zheng Liu,Wei Zhang,Kornelia Gladysz,Yi Man Eva Fung,Gaofei Tian,Ying Xiong,Jason W. H. Wong,Karen Wing Yee Yuen,Xiang David Li +9 more
TL;DR: It is reported thatLysine glutarylation (Kglu) occurs at 27 lysine residues on human core histones, and it is shown that an evolutionarily conserved Kglu at histone H4K91 destabilizes nucleosome in vitro.
Journal ArticleDOI
Structure-guided development of YEATS domain inhibitors by targeting π-π-π stacking.
Xin Li,Xiao-Meng Li,Yixiang Jiang,Zheng Liu,Yiwen Cui,Ka Yi Fung,Stan H.E. van der Beelen,Gaofei Tian,Liling Wan,Xiaobing Shi,C. David Allis,Haitao Li,Yuanyuan Li,Xiang David Li +13 more
TL;DR: It is demonstrated that one of the ENL YEATS-selective inhibitors, XL-13m, engages with endogenous ENL, perturbs the recruitment of ENL onto chromatin, and synergizes the BET and DOT1L inhibition-induced downregulation of oncogenes in MLL-rearranged acute leukemia.
Journal ArticleDOI
Integrative chemical biology approaches for identification and characterization of "erasers" for fatty-acid-acylated lysine residues within proteins.
TL;DR: The use of integrative chemical biology approaches are used to examine human sirtuins as de-fatty-acid acylases in vitro and in cells and show that Sirt2 can regulate the acylation of lysine residues, of proteins, with fatty acids within cells.
Journal ArticleDOI
Developing diazirine-based chemical probes to identify histone modification 'readers' and 'erasers'
TL;DR: New chemical tools to ‘trap’ post translational modification (PTM)-mediated protein–protein interactions are presented, paving the way for new approaches in drug discovery and animal studies.
