KAT2A Promotes Hepatitis B Virus Transcription and Replication Through Epigenetic Regulation of cccDNA Minichromosome

Abstract: Hepatitis B virus (HBV) infection remains a major health problem worldwide. Sufficient maintenance of the HBV covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA), which serves as a template for HBV transcription, is responsible for the failure of antiviral therapies. While accumulating evidence suggests that cccDNA transcription is regulated by epigenetic machinery, particularly the acetylation and methylation of cccDNA-bound histone 3 (H3) and histone 4 (H4), the potential contributions of histone succinylation and relat… Show more

“…Other PTMs of cccDNA-bound histones have been identified and regulate cccDNA transcriptional activity. Indeed, succinylation of H3K122 catalyzed by lysine acetyltransferase 2A (KAT2A) and removed by sirtuin 7 (SIRT7) is associated with transcriptional activation [ 58 , 59 ]. Conversely, trimethylation of H3K9 or H3K27 catalyzed by SET domain bifurcated histone lysine methyltransferase 1 (SETDB1) and the polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2), respectively, are associated with transcriptional silencing of cccDNA [ 54 , 60 , 61 ].…”

“…HBV is a small DNA virus that targets hepatocytes [ 119 ] and covalently closed circular DNA (cccDNA) serves as a template for HBV replication by hijacking the host’s transcriptional machinery [ 120 ]. It has been discovered that cccDNA succinylation upregulated HBV transcriptional activity [ 118 ]. KAT2A is recruited to the minichromosome and succinylates H3 K79 to facilitate HBV replication [ 116 ].…”

“…Lysine succinyltransferases (KSTases) are responsible for catalyzing lysine succinylation. For example, lysine acetyltransferase 2A (KAT2A) is known to succinylate H3K79 and to promote tumor cell proliferation [ 133 ]. Succinyl CoA is also known to be produced when tyrosine 645 (Y645) in KAT2A interacts with α-ketoglutarate dehydrogenase complex (a-KGDH) in the nucleus [ 134 ].…”
