Neurodegenerative movement disorders: An epigenetics perspective and promise for the future

Neurodegenerative movement disorders (NMDs) are age dependent disorders that are characterised by the degeneration and loss of neurons, typically accompanied by pathological accumulation of different protein aggregates in the brain, which lead to motor symptoms. NMDs include Parkinson's disease, multiple system atrophy, progressive supranuclear palsy, and Huntington's disease, among others. Epigenetic modifications are responsible for functional gene regulation during development, adult life, and ageing, and have progressively been implicated in complex diseases such as cancer, and more recently in neurodegenerative diseases, such as NMDs. DNA methylation is by far the most widely studied epigenetic modification and consists of the reversible addition of a methyl group to the DNA without changing the DNA sequence. Although this research field is still in its infancy in relation to NMDs, an increasing number of studies point towards a role for DNA methylation in disease processes. This review addresses recent advances in epigenetic and epigenomic research in NMDs, with a focus on human brain DNA methylation studies. We discuss the current understanding of the DNA methylation changes underlying these disorders, the potential for use of these DNA modifications in peripheral tissues as biomarkers in early disease detection, classification, and progression as well as a promising role in future disease management and therapy

Selective binding of Hpnl towards Ni(II) and Bi(III)

Poster-5Histidine-rich protein Hpn and histidine- and glutamine-rich protein Hpn-like (Hpnl) in Helicobacter pylori have been corroborated to be crucial to nickel homeostasis.[1-3] Nickel supply to hydrogenases and ureases might be disrupted owing to the interaction of metallodrugs, such as bismuth antiulcer drugs, with Hpnl, which may subsequently disturb the functions of the essential …postprin

An Intergrated Approach for Matching Metals and Metallodrugs to Proteins

Keynote Lecture (Abstract)The effect of metals in biology effects is double-edged. Metal ions operate, on one hand, as cofactors for around 40% enzymes, on the other hand, they also exhibit toxic effects. Some metal ions, although being not essential, have been widely used in human healthcare as either therapeutic agents or diagnosis agents. To understand the molecular mechanism of a metallodrug, it is crucial to match metals to proteins at a proteome-wide scale [1,2]. We used an integrated approach consisting of gel electrophoresis and inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry, LA-ICP-MS, IMAC and bioinformatic approach to identify metal-associated proteins using bismuth antiulcer drug as an example [3,4]. Using continuous-flow gel electrophoresis in combination with ICP-MS, we developed a comprehensive and robust strategy to readily identify metal-associated proteins as well as to quantify the metals for fast metallome/proteome-wide profiling of metal-binding proteins. At the same time, we have developed a tunable fluorescent method to visualize metalbinding proteins and histidine-rich proteins directly in cells. To match metals to proteins, we also established a bioinformatic method which allows potential metal-binding proteins both sequentially and spaciously to be searched [5-7]. Surprisingly, histidine-rich proteins and motifs(HRMs) are commonly found in proteins. We systematically analyzed the proteomes of 675 prokaryotes including 50 archaea and 625 bacteria for HRMs, and show that HRMs are extensively distributed in prokaryotic proteomes, with the majority (62%) of histidine-rich proteins (HRPs) being involved in metal homeostasis. Importantly, the occurrence of histidine-rich proteins (motifs) in the proteomes of prokaryotes is related to their habitats.published_or_final_versio
