    Abstract Acetylation signaling pathways are involved in numerous cellular processes and are used as therapeutic targets in several disease contexts. However, acetylated proteins only represent a minor fraction of the full proteome, and the identification and quantification of acetylated sites remain a technological challenge. Currently, pan-acetyl antibodies are used to increase the abundance of acetylated peptides through affinity purification before MS analysis. These antibodies are powerful reagents, but they are hampered by a lack of specificity, affinity, and batch-to-batch reproducibility. In this issue, Bryson et al. (Proteomics 2015 15, 1470-1475) present an interesting alternative to these antibodies, in the form of bromodomains. These domains specifically recognize acetylated lysines, and were successfully used in this study to enrich for acetylated peptides before MS analysis. Future development of this pioneering approach could help overcome this limiting step in the characterization of acetylproteomes.

    Abstract Epigenetic modifications contribute to the determination of cell fate and differentiation. The molecular mechanisms underlying histone variants and post-translational modifications (PTMs) have been studied in the contexts of development, differentiation, and disease. Antibody-based assays have classically been used to target PTMs, but these approaches fail to reveal combinatorial patterns of modifications. In addition, some histone variants are so similar to canonical histones that antibodies have difficulty distinguishing between these isoforms. Mass spectrometry (MS) has progressively developed as a powerful technology for the study of histone variants and their PTMs. Indeed, MS analyses highlighted exquisitely complex combinations of PTMs, suggesting “crosstalk” between them, and also revealed that PTM patterns are often variant-specific. Even though the sensitivity and acquisition speed of MS instruments have considerably increased alongside the development of computational tools for the study of multiple PTMs, it remains challenging to correctly describe the landscape of histone PTMs, and in particular to confidently assign modifications to specific amino acids. Here, we provide an inventory of MS-based strategies and of the pitfalls inherent to histone PTM and variant characterization, while stressing the complex interplay between PTMs and histone sequence variations. We will particularly illustrate the roles played by MS-based analyses in identifying and quantifying histone variants and modifications.

    Abstract An extreme case of chromatin remodelling is the genome-wide exchange of histones with basic non-histone DNA-packaging proteins that occurs in post-meiotic male germ cells. The scale of this genome reorganization is such that chromatin needs to undergo a prior "preparation" for a facilitated action of the factors involved. Stage-specific incorporation of specialized histone variants, affecting large domains of chromatin, combined with histone post-translational modifications accompany the successive steps of the male genome reorganization. Recently, it has been shown that a testis-specific H2B variant, TH2B, one of the first identified core histone variants, replaces H2B at the time of cells' commitment into meiotic divisions and contributes to the process of global histone removal. These investigations also revealed a previously unknown histone dosage compensation mechanism that also ensures a functional interconnection between histone variant expression and histone post-translational modifications and will be further discussed here.

    Abstract The pharmaceutical industry has a pervasive need for chiral specific molecules with optimal affinity for their biological targets. However, the mass production of such compounds is currently limited by conventional chemical routes, that are costly and have an environmental impact. Here, we propose an easy access to obtain new tetrahydroquinolines, a motif found in many bioactive compounds, that is rapid and cost effective. Starting from simple raw materials, the procedure uses a proline-catalyzed Mannich reaction followed by the addition of BF

    Abstract Novel agents to treat invasive fungal infections are urgently needed because the small number of established targets in pathogenic fungi makes the existing drug repertoire particularly vulnerable to the emergence of resistant strains. Recently, we reported that Candida albicans Bdf1, a bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) bromodomain with paired acetyl-lysine (AcK) binding sites (BD1 and BD2) is essential for fungal cell growth and that an imidazopyridine (1) binds to BD2 with selectivity versus both BD1 and human BET bromodomains. Bromodomain binding pockets contain a conserved array of structural waters. Molecular dynamics simulations now reveal that one water molecule is less tightly bound to BD2 than to BD1, explaining the site selectivity of 1. This insight is useful in the performance of ligand docking studies to guide design of more effective Bdf1 inhibitors, as illustrated by the design of 10 new imidazopyridine BD2 ligands 1a-j, for which experimental binding and site selectivity data are presented.

    Abstract Dramatic and unique genome reorganizations accompany the differentiation of haploid male germ cells, characterized by a gradual loss of the vast majority of histones leading to a final tight compaction of the genome by protamines. Despite being essential for procreation and the life cycle, the mechanisms driving the transformation of nucleosomes into nucleoprotamines remain poorly understood. To address this issue, our laboratory has developed a number of specific approaches, ranging from the purification of spermatogenic cells at specific stages, the analysis of chromatin transitional states, the functional characterization of histone variants, histone-replacing proteins and their chaperones. This chapter will detail all related relevant techniques with a particular emphasis on methods allowing the functional studies of histone variants and the genome organizational states associated with the studied histones in spermatogenic cells undergoing histone-to-protamine exchange.
