OxyR – a well studied redox regulated transcription factor in E. coli - Direct targeting

Figure 4 Model for OxyR activation and deactivation.

M Zheng et al. Science 1998;279:1718-1722

§  Direct targeting

§  OxyR is activated by ROS and induces a number of protective enzymes, including Catalase, Grx1, and Glutathione reductase (GSSG→2GSH)

19 maj 2015 Katarina.Johansson@ki.se

(Brigelius-Flohé and Flohé, ARS, 2011)

Yap1 – a well studied redox regulated transcription factor in S. cerevisiae - Facilitated targeting

•  The H2O2 signal is sensed by a Cys residue in Orp1, which oxidizes to sulfenic acid (Cys-SOH)

•  Orp1 transduces this signal to Yap1 by formation of an intermolecular disulfide bond

•  Thereafter, intramolecular disulfide bonds are formed in activated Yap1

•  Activated Yap1 may finally induce several antioxidant genes, including proteins in the thioredoxin and GSH systems

Localisation of the oxidant may increase the specificity of the redox signaling

§  Growth factors

à  Induce NOX that produce superoxide

§  Extracellular H2O2 is channelled back through aquaporins

§  Tyrosine kinases (Src) à  Inactivate PrxI à  Accumulation of

H2O2

§  PTP with low pKa thiol à  Oxidized and

inactivated

19 maj 2015 Katarina.Johansson@ki.se

Finkel, 2011, JCB

PTP – Protein Tyrosine PhosphatasesPrxI – Peroxiredoxin INOX – NADPH-dependent oxidases

BUT… PTPs react poorly with H2O2 – likely oxidation mediated by another thiol protein e.g. Prx

Redox regulated transcription factors in mammals

§  Many different transcription factors are redox regulated à  Nrf2, NFkB, HIF, p53, Oct-4, AP-1, FOXO, Notch, β-Catenin etc

§  Highly important for development à  Embryonic lethal -  NFkB (p65), AP-1 (c-Jun, JunB), HIF (HIF1a, HIF1b, ARNT), Ref-1

§  Redox regulated transcription factors have been implicated to be involved in the regulation of self-renewal and differentiation of stem cells à  Nrf2, NFkB, HIF, p53, Oct-4, AP-1, FOXO, Notch, β-Catenin

§  Redox regulated transcription factors are involved in many different diseases such as cancer, chronic inflammation, cardiovascular-, neurological-, and pulmonary diseases

§  Knowledge about the mechanism of redox regulated transcription factors is limited due to complex, transient and fast reactions

19 maj 2015 Katarina.Johansson@ki.se

Many levels of redox regulation of transcription factors in cells

p53 is redox regulated by the GSH- and Trx-systems

19 maj 2015 Katarina.Johansson@ki.se

§  Tumor suppressor protein that activates genes involved in cell cycle arrest, apoptosis, and DNA repair

§  Activates upon stress –such as hypoxia, heat shock, DNA damage etc

§  p53 activates many different redox-controlling genes, including Gpx and Grx3

Crosslinks between p53 and ROS/RNS pathways

Nrf2 – nuclear factor erythroid 2 (NF-E2)-related transcription factor

§  Redox regulated transcription factor that induce proteins that protect against oxidative stress and xenobiotics (including the GSH- and Trx systems)

§  An induction of Nrf2 is beneficial for patients with degenerative-

and autoimmune diseases like MS, atherosclerosis, Parkinson, arthritis

§  An induction of Nrf2 in cancer make the cancer cells more viable and resistant to anticancer drugs

19 maj 2015 Katarina.Johansson@ki.se

Nrf2 – a redox regulated transcription factor that protect cells from ROS

19 maj 2015 Katarina.Johansson@ki.se

•  In normal conditions Keap1 targets Nrf2 for proteosomal degradation

•  Upon oxidative stress Keap1 are oxidized – releases Nrf2 that can translocate to the nucleus

Surh, YJ, Nature Reviews Cancer, 2003

Hypoxia Inducing Factor (HIF)

§  HIF regulates more than 70 genes coding for proteins involved in angiogenesis, erythropoiesis, energy metabolism, cell survival.

§  HIF is a heterodimeric transcription factor consisting of one HIFα (HIF1α, HIF2α or HIF3α) and one HIF1β (ARNT) subunit.

§  The oxygen sensors are, Prolyl-4-hydorxylasese domain 1-3 (PHD1, PHD2, and PHD3) and a second oxygen sensor FIH (Factor inhibiting HIF)

§  HIF are important in stem cells, for development but have also

been highly linked to metastatic cancer.

19 maj 2015 Katarina.Johansson@ki.se

Redox Regulation of HIF

19 maj 2015 Katarina.Johansson@ki.se

•  Oxidation of Fe(II) to Fe(III) in PHDs induces HIF

•  Direct oxidation of HIF1α

•  Reduction of Cys800 in HIF by APE1/Ref-1 or Trx system – facilitates binding to DNA

19 maj 2015 Katarina.Johansson@ki.se

Different levels of redox regulation of HIF-1 in cells

Ufer et al., ARS, 2010

NFκB, a key regulator of the immune response

§  NFkB is a protein complex made up from homo- or heterodimers

à  p50, p52, p65, c-Rel and RelB. à Most common is the p50/p65 complex

§  Incorrect regulation of NF-κB has been linked to cancer,

inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, septic shock, viral infection, and improper immune development.

NF-κB (nuclear factor kappa-light-chain-enhancer of activated B cells)

NFkB can be activated by many different stimuli

(Brigelius-Flohé and Flohé, ARS, 2011)

Redox regulation of NFκB via the classical pathway

§  Redox regulation of NFκB occurs at different levels à  By Trx and other redoxins (Grx,

TRP14, Prx) – preventing activation of NFκB

à  A complex cascade of redox sensitive phosphorylation and de-phosphorylation

à  On the other hand, Trx system and APE1/Ref-1 have been shown to be crucial for NFκB binding to the DNA.

²  Mechanistic studies with regards to the Trx- and GSH systems

²  Further studies of stochastic responses ²  Develop new pTRAF variants for studies of other transcription

²  Mechanism of clinically used drugs as well as new potential drug leads to treat cancer, MS, Parkinson´s, atherosclerosis

Conclusions

§  Redox regulation is important for control of many different signaling pathways

§  Knowledge on how redox regulated transcription factors is controlled is limited due to complex, transient and fast reactions

§  Redox regulation involves specific oxidation or reduction of regulatory target proteins, often via uniquely reactive Cys residue(s) as sensors

§  Compartmentalization, direct targeting and facilitated targeting are likely to be highly important in redox regulation of transcription factors in mammals
