The TORC1 activates Rpd3L complex to deacetylate Ino80 and H2A.Z and repress autophagy

Abstract

Autophagy is a critical process to maintain homeostasis, differentiation, and development. How autophagy is tightly regulated by nutritional changes is poorly understood. Here, we identify chromatin remodeling protein Ino80 and histone variant H2A.Z as the deacetylation targets for histone deacetylase Rpd3L complex and uncover how they regulate autophagy in response to nutrient availability. Mechanistically, Rpd3L deacetylates Ino80 K929, which protects Ino80 from being degraded by autophagy. The stabilized Ino80 promotes H2A.Z eviction from autophagy-related genes, leading to their transcriptional repression. Meanwhile, Rpd3L deacetylates H2A.Z, which further blocks its deposition into chromatin to repress the transcription of autophagy-related genes. Rpd3-mediated deacetylation of Ino80 K929 and H2A.Z is enhanced by the target of rapamycin complex 1 (TORC1). Inactivation of TORC1 by nitrogen starvation or rapamycin inhibits Rpd3L, leading to induction of autophagy. Our work provides a mechanism for chromatin remodelers and histone variants in modulating autophagy in response to nutrient availability.

Modulation of Phase Transition in Cobalt Selenide with Simultaneous Construction of Heterojunctions for Highly‐Efficient Oxygen Electrocatalysis in Zinc–Air Battery

“…Such an open hollow carbon skeleton composed of numerous nanopores (as shown in the TEM images of c‐CoSe 2 ‐CoN/NC) is beneficial for the enlargement of the electrochemical area and the acceleration of mass transfer, leading to a high electrocatalytic performance of the catalyst. [ 28 ]…”

Cla4 phosphorylates histone methyltransferase Set1 to prevent its degradation by the APC/C Cdh1 complex

“…Cla4-catalyzed Set1-S228 phosphorylation prevents the APC/C Cdh1 complex-mediated Set1 degradation Some posttranslational modifications regulate protein stability by affecting the interaction between the degradation machinery and target proteins (27). As Set1-S228 phosphorylation occurred within the context of D-box, we next examined whether Cla4-catalyzed Set1-S228 phosphorylation interferes with the interaction between Cdh1 and Set1.…”

Chinese dumpling-like NaTi2(PO4)3/MXene@reduced graphene oxide for capacitive deionization with high capacity and good cycling stability

“…Recently, capacitive deionization (CDI) has become an increasingly popular method of desalination, particularly for brackish water because of its simple operation, high energy efficiency, environmental friendliness, and cost-effectiveness. [4][5][6][7] Limited by the electric double layer (EDL) on the porous structure of carbon electrode materials, traditional CDI suffers from low theoretical desalination capacity and charge efficiency due to co-ion repulsion. 8,9 By replacing conventional carbonbased materials with cation insertion materials, where cations (Na + , K + , Mg 2+ , etc.)…”
