    Abstract Introduction of α-N-methylated non-proteinogenic amino acids into peptides can improve their biological activities, membrane permeability and proteolytic stability. This is commonly achieved, in nature and in the lab, by assembling pre-methylated amino acids. The more appealing route of methylating amide bonds is challenging. Biology has evolved an α-N-automethylating enzyme, OphMA, which acts on the amide bonds of peptides fused to its C-terminus. Due to the ribosomal biosynthesis of its substrate, the activity of this enzyme towards peptides with non-proteinogenic amino acids has not been addressed. An engineered OphMA, intein-mediated protein ligation and solid-phase peptide synthesis have allowed us to demonstrate the methylation of amide bonds in the context of non-natural amides. This approach may have application in the biotechnological production of therapeutic peptides.

    Abstract The INrf2 (Keap1)/Cul3-Rbx1 complex constantly degrades Nrf2 under normal conditions. When a cell encounters oxidative or electrophilic stress, Nrf2 dissociates from the INrf2/Cul3-Rbx1 complex and translocates into the nucleus. In the nucleus, Nrf2 activates a myriad of antioxidant and defensive genes that protect cells. Nrf2 is then exported out of the nucleus and degraded. INrf2 serves as a substrate adaptor to link Nrf2 to Cul3 and Rbx1. Cul3 and Rbx1 make up the ubiquitin ligase complex that is responsible for the ubiquitination and degradation of Nrf2. Previously we have shown a feedback autoregulatory loop between Nrf2 and INrf2 indicating that Nrf2 regulates INrf2 by controlling its transcription. Here we are extending this research by demonstrating the presence of another feedback autoregulatory loop between Cul3-Rbx1 and Nrf2. Experiments using Hepa-1 and HepG2 cells indicate that Nrf2 controls its own degradation by regulating expression and induction of Cul3-Rbx1 genes. Treatment with the antioxidant tert-Butylhydroquinone (t-BHQ) leads to induction of Cul3-Rbx1 genes. Mutagenesis and transfection experiments identified an antioxidant response element in the forward and reverse strands of the proximal Cul3 and Rbx1 promoters, respectively, that Nrf2 binds and regulates expression and antioxidant induction of the Cul3-Rbx1 genes. In addition, short interfering RNA inhibition and overexpression of Nrf2 led to a respective decrease and increase in Cul3-Rbx1 gene expression. The increase in Cul3-Rbx1 leads to ubiquitination and degradation of Nrf2. These data suggest that Nrf2 regulates Cul3-Rbx1 by controlling regulation of expression and induction of Cul3-Rbx1. The induction of Cul3-Rbx1 control Nrf2 by increasing degradation.

    Abstract Fyn, an Src kinase family member, acts as a negative regulator of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2). Under stressful conditions, Nrf2 translocates into the nucleus and binds to the antioxidant response element (ARE), activating defensive gene expression. Once Nrf2 completes activation, Fyn phosphorylates tyrosine 568 of Nrf2, resulting in the nuclear export and degradation of Nrf2. The present studies demonstrate that within 0.5 h of antioxidant treatment in human hepatoblastoma (HepG2) cells, Fyn exports out of the nucleus, allowing Nrf2 unimpeded movement to the ARE. Mutation of tyrosine 213 of Fyn stymied nuclear export, suggesting that tyrosine phosphorylation controls nuclear export. Mass spectrometry confirmed tyrosine 213 as the site of phosphorylation. ChIP and real-time PCR assays revealed that FynY213A mutant caused decreased binding of Nrf2 to the promoter of defensive gene NAD(P)H:quinone oxidoreductase 1 (NQO1) and decreased NQO1 expression by 5-fold (P<0.0001) compared to wild-type Fyn. In addition, a putative nuclear export signal (NES) was identified, and mutation of it also inhibited nuclear export of Fyn. Furthermore, FynY213A caused an increased susceptibility to cell death following treatment with etoposide in mouse hepatoma (Hepa-1) cells. The preinduction regulation of Nrf2 is controlled by the nuclear export of Fyn, allowing for activation of defensive gene expression.

    Abstract Antioxidants cause stabilization and nuclear translocation of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), where it binds to the antioxidant response element (ARE) and induces up-regulation of defensive genes that protect cells against oxidative and electrophilic stress. Bach1, the negative regulator of Nrf2, competes with Nrf2 for binding to the ARE in the human NQO1 promoter. In this study, we demonstrate that Bach1 exits the nucleus within 1-2 h upon antioxidant treatment. Genistein, an inhibitor of tyrosine kinases, blocked nuclear export of Bach1. Site-directed mutagenesis and immunoprecipitation assays identified tyrosine 486 that was phosphorylated in response to the antioxidant and was essential for nuclear export of Bach1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation assays revealed a competitive interplay between Bach1 and Nrf2 at 1-2 and 4 h for binding to the human NQO1 ARE. Luciferase and real time PCR assays showed a significant decrease in antioxidant induction of reporter activity and mRNA levels in cells transfected with mutant Bach1 compared with wild type. This decrease was due to the absence of nuclear export of the mutant protein. Bach1 levels inside the nucleus returned to normal at 4 h after antioxidant treatment in the absence but not in the presence of protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. In addition, antioxidant treatment increased the transcription of Bach1 as shown by pulse chase and real time PCR experiments. Taken together, these results indicate that increased synthesis of Bach1 restored its nuclear levels to normal at 4 h. In conclusion, antioxidant-induced tyrosine 486 phosphorylation leads to nuclear exit of Bach1, thus allowing Nrf2 access to the ARE.

    Abstract INrf2 (Keap1) serves as a negative regulator of the cytoprotective transcription factor Nrf2. At basal levels, INrf2 functions as a substrate adaptor to sequester Nrf2 into the Cul3-Rbx1 E3 ligase complex for ubiquitylation and proteasomal degradation. In response to antioxidants, Nrf2 is released from the INrf2-Cul3-Rbx1 complex and translocates into the nucleus, where it activates ARE-mediated cytoprotective gene expression. The present studies demonstrate that INrf2, Cul3 and Rbx1 export out of the nucleus and are degraded during the early or pre-induction response to antioxidants. Mutation of Tyr85 in INrf2 stymied the nuclear export of INrf2, suggesting that tyrosine phosphorylation controls the pre-induction nuclear export and degradation in response to antioxidants. The nuclear export of Cul3-Rbx1 were also blocked when INrf2Tyr85 was mutated, suggesting that INrf2-Cul3-Rbx1 undergo nuclear export as a complex. INrf2 siRNA also inhibited the nuclear export of Cul3-Rbx1, confirming that Cul3-Rbx1 requires INrf2 for nuclear export. Newly synthesized INrf2-Cul3-Rbx1 is imported back into the nucleus during the post-induction period to ubiquitylate and degrade Nrf2. Mutation of INrf2Tyr85 had no effect on activation of Nrf2 but led to nuclear accumulation of Nrf2 during the post-induction period owing to reduced export and degradation of Nrf2. Our results also showed that nuclear export and degradation followed by the new synthesis of INrf2-Cul3-Rbx1 controls the cellular abundance of the proteins during different phases of antioxidant responses. In conclusion, the early or pre-induction nuclear export of INrf2 in response to antioxidants is controlled by tyrosine phosphorylation, whereas the nuclear export of Cul3 and Rbx1 is controlled by INrf2, allowing normal activation or repression of Nrf2.

    Abstract Antioxidants cause stabilization and nuclear translocation of NF-E2-related factor 2 (Nrf2), where it binds to the antioxidant response element (ARE) and induces up-regulation of defensive genes that protect cells against oxidative and electrophilic stress.

In this study, we demonstrate that Bach1 exits the nucleus within 1-2 h upon antioxidant treatment. Genistein, an inhibitor of tyrosine kinases, blocked nuclear export of Bach1.

This decrease was due to the absence of nuclear export of the mutant protein. Bach1 levels inside the nucleus returned to normal at 4 h after antioxidant treatment in the absence but not in the presence of protein synthesis inhibitor cycloheximide. In addition, antioxidant treatment increased the transcription of Bach1 as shown by pulse chase and real time PCR experiments. Taken together, these results indicate that increased synthesis of Bach1 restored its nuclear levels to normal at 4 h. In conclusion, antioxidant-induced tyrosine 486 phosphorylation leads to nuclear exit of Bach1, thus allowing Nrf2 access to the ARE.
