Abstract
Over the past decades, the proteomics field has undergone rapid growth. Progress in mass spectrometry and bioinformatics, together with separation methods, has brought many innovative approaches to the study of the molecular biology of the cell. The potential of affinity chromatography was recognized immediately after its first application in proteomics, and since that time, it has become one of the cornerstones of many proteomic protocols. Indeed, this chromatographic technique exploiting the specific binding between two molecules has been employed for numerous purposes, from selective removal of interfering (over)abundant proteins or enrichment of scarce biomarkers in complex biological samples to mapping the post-translational modifications and protein interactions with other proteins, nucleic acids or biologically active small molecules. This review presents a comprehensive survey of this versatile analytical tool in current proteomics. To navigate the reader, the haphazard space of affinity separations is classified according to the experiment's aims and the separated molecule's nature. Different types of available ligands and experimental strategies are discussed in further detail for each of the mentioned procedures.

Decrypting lysine deacetylase inhibitor action and protein modifications by dose-resolved proteomics. Cell Rep 2024; 43:114272.

Abstract
Lysine deacetylase inhibitors (KDACis) are approved drugs for cutaneous T cell lymphoma (CTCL), peripheral T cell lymphoma (PTCL), and multiple myeloma, but many aspects of their cellular mechanism of action (MoA) and substantial toxicity are not well understood. To shed more light on how KDACis elicit cellular responses, we systematically measured dose-dependent changes in acetylation, phosphorylation, and protein expression in response to 21 clinical and pre-clinical KDACis. The resulting 862,000 dose-response curves revealed, for instance, limited cellular specificity of histone deacetylase (HDAC) 1, 2, 3, and 6 inhibitors; strong cross-talk between acetylation and phosphorylation pathways; localization of most drug-responsive acetylation sites to intrinsically disordered regions (IDRs); an underappreciated role of acetylation in protein structure; and a shift in EP300 protein abundance between the cytoplasm and the nucleus. This comprehensive dataset serves as a resource for the investigation of the molecular mechanisms underlying KDACi action in cells and can be interactively explored online in ProteomicsDB.

Abstract
ConspectusThe zinc-dependent histone deacetylases (HDACs 1-11) belong to the arginase-deacetylase superfamily of proteins, members of which share a common α/β fold and catalytic metal binding site. While several HDACs play a role in epigenetic regulation by catalyzing acetyllysine hydrolysis in histone proteins, the biological activities of HDACs extend far beyond histones. HDACs also deacetylate nonhistone proteins in the nucleus as well as the cytosol to regulate myriad cellular processes. The substrate pool is even more diverse in that certain HDACs can hydrolyze other covalent modifications. For example, HDAC6 is also a lysine decrotonylase, and HDAC11 is a lysine-fatty acid deacylase. Surprisingly, HDAC10 is not a lysine deacetylase but instead is a polyamine deacetylase. Thus, the HDACs are biologically and chemically versatile catalysts as they regulate the function of diverse protein and nonprotein substrates throughout the cell.Owing to their critical regulatory functions, HDACs serve as prominent targets for drug design. At present, four HDAC inhibitors are FDA-approved for cancer chemotherapy. However, these inhibitors are active against multiple HDAC isozymes, and a lack of selectivity is thought to contribute to undesirable side effects. Current medicinal chemistry campaigns focus on the development of isozyme-selective inhibitors, and many such studies largely focus on HDAC6 and HDAC10. HDAC6 is a target for therapeutic intervention due to its cellular role as a tubulin deacetylase and tau deacetylase, and selective inhibitors are being studied in cancer chemotherapy and the treatment of peripheral neuropathy. Crystal structures of enzyme-inhibitor complexes reveal how various features of inhibitor design, such as zinc-coordinating groups, bifurcated capping groups, and aromatic fluorination patterns, contribute to affinity and isozyme selectivity. The polyamine deacetylase HDAC10 is also an emerging target for cancer chemotherapy. Crystal structures of intact substrates trapped in the HDAC10 active site reveal the molecular basis of strikingly narrow substrate specificity for N8-acetylspermidine hydrolysis. Active site features responsible for substrate specificity have been successfully exploited in the design of potent and selective inhibitors.In this Account, I review the structural chemistry and inhibition of HDACs, highlighting recent X-ray crystallographic and functional studies of HDAC6 and HDAC10 in my laboratory. These studies have yielded fascinating snapshots of catalysis as well as novel chemical transformations involving bound inhibitors. The zinc-bound water molecule in the HDAC active site is the catalytic nucleophile in the deacetylation reaction, but this activated water molecule can also react with inhibitor C═O or C═N groups to yield unanticipated reaction products that bind exceptionally tightly. Versatile active site chemistry unleashes the full inhibitory potential of such compounds, and X-ray crystallography allows us to view this chemistry in action.

Cell Metab 2024; 36:857-876.e10.

Abstract
Leptin resistance during excess weight gain significantly contributes to the recidivism of obesity to leptin-based pharmacological therapies. The mechanisms underlying the inhibition of leptin receptor (LepR) signaling during obesity are still elusive. Here, we report that histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) interacts with LepR, reducing the latter's activity, and that pharmacological inhibition of HDAC6 activity disrupts this interaction and augments leptin signaling. Treatment of diet-induced obese mice with blood-brain barrier (BBB)-permeable HDAC6 inhibitors profoundly reduces food intake and leads to potent weight loss without affecting the muscle mass. Genetic depletion of Hdac6 in Agouti-related protein (AgRP)-expressing neurons or administration with BBB-impermeable HDAC6 inhibitors results in a lack of such anti-obesity effect. Together, these findings represent the first report describing a mechanistically validated and pharmaceutically tractable therapeutic approach to directly increase LepR activity as well as identifying centrally but not peripherally acting HDAC6 inhibitors as potent leptin sensitizers and anti-obesity agents.

Abstract
Here we present the generation and characterization of patient-derived organoids (PDOs) from colorectal cancer patients. PDOs derived from two patients with TP53 mutations were tested with two different HDAC inhibitors (SAHA and NKL54). Cell death induction, transcriptome, and chromatin accessibility changes were analyzed. HDACIs promote the upregulation of low expressed genes and the downregulation of highly expressed genes. A similar differential effect is observed at the level of chromatin accessibility. Only SAHA is a potent inducer of cell death, which is characterized by the upregulation of BH3-only genes BIK and BMF. Up-regulation of BIK is associated with increased accessibility in an intronic region that has enhancer properties. SAHA, but not NKL54, also causes downregulation of BCL2L1 and decreases chromatin accessibility in three distinct regions of the BCL2L1 locus. Both inhibitors upregulate the expression of innate immunity genes and members of the MHC family. In summary, our exploratory study indicates a mechanism of action for SAHA and demonstrate the low efficacy of NKL54 as a single agent for apoptosis induction, using two PDOs. These observations need to be validated in a larger cohort of PDOs.

Abstract
Introduction Burns are a global public health problem. Major burns can stimulate the body to enter a stress state, thereby increasing the risk of infection and adversely affecting the patient's prognosis. Recently, it has been discovered that cuproptosis, a form of cell death, is associated with various diseases. Our research aims to explore the molecular clusters associated with cuproptosis in major burns and construct predictive models. Methods We analyzed the expression and immune infiltration characteristics of cuproptosis-related factors in major burn based on the GSE37069 dataset. Using 553 samples from major burn patients, we explored the molecular clusters based on cuproptosis-related genes and their associated immune cell infiltrates. The WGCNA was utilized to identify cluster-specific genes. Subsequently, the performance of different machine learning models was compared to select the optimal model. The effectiveness of the predictive model was validated using Nomogram, calibration curves, decision curves, and an external dataset. Finally, five core genes related to cuproptosis and major burn have been was validated using RT-qPCR. Results In both major burn and normal samples, we determined the cuproptosis-related genes associated with major burns through WGCNA analysis. Through immune infiltrate profiling analysis, we found significant immune differences between different clusters. When K=2, the clustering number is the most stable. GSVA analysis shows that specific genes in cluster 2 are closely associated with various functions. After identifying the cross-core genes, machine learning models indicate that generalized linear models have better accuracy. Ultimately, a generalized linear model for five highly correlated genes was constructed, and validation with an external dataset showed an AUC of 0.982. The accuracy of the model was further verified through calibration curves, decision curves, and modal graphs. Further analysis of clinical relevance revealed that these correlated genes were closely related to time of injury. Conclusion This study has revealed the intricate relationship between cuproptosis and major burns. Research has identified 15 cuproptosis-related genes that are associated with major burn. Through a machine learning model, five core genes related to cuproptosis and major burn have been selected and validated.

Abstract
The interplay between metabolism and chromatin signaling is implicated in cancer progression. However, whether and how metabolic reprogramming in tumors generates chromatin vulnerabilities remain unclear. Lung adenocarcinoma (LUAD) tumors frequently harbor aberrant activation of the NRF2 antioxidant pathway, which drives aggressive and chemo-resistant disease. Using a chromatin-focused CRISPR screen, we report that NRF2 activation sensitizes LUAD cells to genetic and chemical inhibition of class I histone deacetylases (HDACs). This association is observed across cultured cells, mouse models, and patient-derived xenografts. Integrative epigenomic, transcriptomic, and metabolomic analysis demonstrates that HDAC inhibition causes widespread redistribution of H4ac and its reader protein, which transcriptionally downregulates metabolic enzymes. This results in reduced flux into amino acid metabolism and de novo nucleotide synthesis pathways that are preferentially required for the survival of NRF2-active cancer cells. Together, our findings suggest NRF2 activation as a potential biomarker for effective repurposing of HDAC inhibitors to treat solid tumors.

Abstract
Substantial efforts are underway to deepen our understanding of human brain morphology, structure, and function using high-resolution imaging as well as high-content molecular profiling technologies. The current work adds to these approaches by providing a comprehensive and quantitative protein expression map of 13 anatomically distinct brain regions covering more than 11,000 proteins. This was enabled by the optimization, characterization, and implementation of a high-sensitivity and high-throughput microflow liquid chromatography timsTOF tandem mass spectrometry system (LC-MS/MS) capable of analyzing more than 2,000 consecutive samples prepared from formalin-fixed paraffin embedded (FFPE) material. Analysis of this proteomic resource highlighted brain region-enriched protein expression patterns and functional protein classes, protein localization differences between brain regions and individual markers for specific areas. To facilitate access to and ease further mining of the data by the scientific community, all data can be explored online in a purpose-built R Shiny app (https://brain-region-atlas.proteomics.ls.tum.de).

Abstract
Surgical resection, when combined with chemotherapy, has been shown to significantly improve the survival rate of patients with pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC). However, this treatment option is only feasible for a fraction of patients, as more than 50% of cases are diagnosed with metastasis. The multifaceted process of metastasis is still not fully understood, but recent data suggest that transcriptional and epigenetic plasticity play significant roles. Interfering with epigenetic reprogramming can potentially control the adaptive processes responsible for metastatic progression and therapy resistance, thereby enhancing treatment responses and preventing recurrence. This review will focus on the relevance of histone-modifying enzymes in pancreatic cancer, specifically on their impact on the metastatic cascade. Additionally, it will also provide a brief update on the current clinical developments in epigenetic therapies.

Abstract
Dose-response curves are key metrics in pharmacology and biology to assess phenotypic or molecular actions of bioactive compounds in a quantitative fashion. Yet, it is often unclear whether or not a measured response significantly differs from a curve without regulation, particularly in high-throughput applications or unstable assays. Treating potency and effect size estimates from random and true curves with the same level of confidence can lead to incorrect hypotheses and issues in training machine learning models. Here, we present CurveCurator, an open-source software that provides reliable dose-response characteristics by computing p-values and false discovery rates based on a recalibrated F-statistic and a target-decoy procedure that considers dataset-specific effect size distributions. The application of CurveCurator to three large-scale datasets enables a systematic drug mode of action analysis and demonstrates its scalable utility across several application areas, facilitated by a performant, interactive dashboard for fast data exploration.

Abstract
Drug-target recognition has great impacts on revealing mechanisms of pharmacological activities, especially drug resistance and off-target effects. In recent years, chemoproteomics has been widely used for drug target screening and discovery due to its high-throughput, high accuracy, and sensitivity. However, there still remain challenges on how to efficiently and unambiguously track target proteins from complex biological matrices. Herein, we report a drug target screening method based on virus-like iron-gold heterogeneous nanoparticles (Au@Fe3O4 NPs). The unique structure of Au@Fe3O4 NPs not only maintains the magnetism of Fe3O4 NPs to facilitate protein enrichment and purification, but also increases drug modification by introducing more active sites on the surface of Au NPs. After coincubating the drug modified NPs with the cell lysate, the high loading of drug on the surface of Au@Fe3O4 NPs was beneficial for capturing target proteins with low abundance. This well-designed heterogeneous nanomaterial provides a novel strategy for improving the efficiency and accuracy of affinity-based proteomics.

Abstract
Objective To investigate the role of histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) in podocyte injury in diabetic kidney disease (DKD) in mice. Methods 1) The 8-week-old male CD-1 mice were selected to construct the model of DKD with streptozocin (STZ). After the model was established, the mice were intraperitoneally injected with HDAC6 inhibitor CAY10603 (5mg/kg/daily) or same volume vehicle as control. The mice were divided into four groups, control (CTL)+vehicle (Veh) (n=5), CLT+CAY10603 (n=3), STZ+Veh (n=9), and STZ+CAY10603 (n=7). Mice in STZ+Veh and STZ+CAY10603 groups developed DKD, while mice in the CTL+Veh and CTL+CAY10603 groups were served as normal controls. The therapeutic effect was evaluated through urine albumin-to-creatinine ratio (uACR) and renal pathology after the 2-week treatment with CAY10603. 2) Human podocytes were cultured in vitro and were divided into four groups as follows: CTL, transforming growth factor-β (TGFβ), TGFβ+CAY10603 (250 nmol/L), and TGFβ+CAY10603 (500 nmol/L) groups. The control group did not receive any treatment, the last three groups were given 36-h TGFβ treatment at 5 ng/µL, with or without CAY10603 as indicated for an additional 12 h. Western blot was performed to determine the inhibitory effect of CAY10603 on NLRP3 inflammasome. 3) HDAC6 knockout (KO) mice were generated and used to create STZ-induced model of DKD. The mice were divided into four groups: C57BL/6J wild type (WT) (n=6), HDAC6 KO (n=6), WT+STZ (n=10), and HDAC6 KO+STZ (n=9). Samples were collected 16 weeks after successful modeling and changes in uACR and renal pathology were evaluated accordingly. Results After 2 weeks of treatment, mice in the STZ+CAY10603 group exhibited reduction in uACR (P<0.05) and inhibition of glomerular mesangium expansion (P<0.05) compared with those of the mice in the STZ+Veh group. There was no statistically significant difference in the indicators between the CTL+Veh group and the CTL+CAY10603 group. In vitro cultured podocytes, compared with the control group, NLRP3 inflammasome activation was seen in the TGFβ group. CAY10603 treatment significantly inhibited the activation of NLRP3 in the dosage-dependent manner (P<0.05). Compared with those of the WT group, the WT+STZ group showed increased uACR (P<0.05), obvious glomerulosclerosis and loss of podocytes numbers. Compared with those of the WT+STZ group, the HDAC6 KO+STZ group showed effectively reduction of uACR (P<0.05) and improvement in the renal pathological changes in mice. There was no significant difference in these aspects between the WT and HDAC6 KO groups. Conclusion Inhibition of HDAC6 alleviates proteinuria and podocyte injury in the mouse model of DKD by suppressing the activation of NLRP3 inflammasome.

Abstract
HDAC3 and HDAC8 have critical biological functions and represent highly sought-after therapeutic targets. Because histone deacetylases (HDACs) have a very conserved catalytic domain, developing isozyme-selective inhibitors remains challenging. HDAC3/8 also have deacetylase-independent activity, which cannot be blocked by conventional enzymatic inhibitors. Proteolysis-targeting chimeras (PROTACs) can selectively degrade a target enzyme, abolishing both enzymatic and scaffolding function. Here, we report a novel HDAC3/8 dual degrader YX968 that induces highly potent, rapid, and selective degradation of both HDAC3/8 without triggering pan-HDAC inhibitory effects. Unbiased quantitative proteomic experiments confirmed its high selectivity. HDAC3/8 degradation by YX968 does not induce histone hyperacetylation and broad transcriptomic perturbation. Thus, histone hyperacetylation may be a major factor for altering transcription. YX968 promotes apoptosis and kills cancer cells with a high potency in vitro. YX968 thus represents a new probe for dissecting the complex biological functions of HDAC3/8.

Abstract
Dysregulation of both tubulin deacetylases sirtuin 2 (Sirt2) and the histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) has been associated with the pathogenesis of cancer and neurodegeneration, thus making these two enzymes promising targets for pharmaceutical intervention. Herein, we report the design, synthesis, and biological characterization of the first-in-class dual Sirt2/HDAC6 inhibitors as molecular tools for dual inhibition of tubulin deacetylation. Using biochemical in vitro assays and cell-based methods for target engagement, we identified Mz325 (33) as a potent and selective inhibitor of both target enzymes. Inhibition of both targets was further confirmed by X-ray crystal structures of Sirt2 and HDAC6 in complex with building blocks of 33. In ovarian cancer cells, 33 evoked enhanced effects on cell viability compared to single or combination treatment with the unconjugated Sirt2 and HDAC6 inhibitors. Thus, our dual Sirt2/HDAC6 inhibitors are important new tools to study the consequences and the therapeutic potential of dual inhibition of tubulin deacetylation.

Abstract
Metabolic reprogramming is associated with resistance to antiangiogenic therapy in cancer. However, its molecular mechanisms have not been clearly elucidated. Here, we identify the glycolytic enzyme enolase 2 (ENO2) as a driver of resistance to antiangiogenic therapy in colorectal cancer (CRC) mouse models and human participants. ENO2 overexpression induces neuroendocrine differentiation, promotes malignant behaviour in CRC and desensitizes CRC to antiangiogenic drugs. Mechanistically, the ENO2-derived metabolite phosphoenolpyruvate (PEP) selectively inhibits histone deacetylase 1 (HDAC1) activity, which increases the acetylation of β-catenin and activates the β-catenin pathway in CRC. Inhibition of ENO2 with enolase inhibitors AP-III-a4 or POMHEX synergizes the efficacy of antiangiogenic drugs in vitro and in mice bearing drug-resistant CRC xenograft tumours. Together, our findings reveal that ENO2 constitutes a useful predictive biomarker and therapeutic target for resistance to antiangiogenic therapy in CRC, and uncover a previously undefined and metabolism-independent role of PEP in regulating resistance to antiangiogenic therapy by functioning as an endogenous HDAC1 inhibitor.

Abstract
Acetylation of lysine residues is an important and common post-translational regulatory mechanism occurring on thousands of non-histone proteins. Lysine deacetylases (KDACs or HDACs) are a family of enzymes responsible for removing acetylation. To identify the biological mechanisms regulated by individual KDACs, we created HT1080 cell lines containing chromosomal point mutations, which endogenously express either KDAC6 or KDAC8 having single inactivated catalytic domain. Engineered HT1080 cells expressing inactive KDA6 or KDAC8 domains remained viable and exhibited enhanced acetylation on known substrate proteins. RNA-seq analysis revealed that many changes in gene expression were observed when KDACs were inactivated, and that these gene sets differed significantly from knockdown and knockout cell lines. Using GO ontology, we identified several critical biological processes associated specifically with catalytic activity and others attributable to non-catalytic interactions. Treatment of wild-type cells with KDAC-specific inhibitors Tubastatin A and PCI-34051 resulted in gene expression changes distinct from those of the engineered cell lines, validating this approach as a tool for evaluating in-cell inhibitor specificity and identifying off-target effects of KDAC inhibitors. Probing the functions of specific KDAC domains using these cell lines is not equivalent to doing so using previously existing methods and provides novel insight into the catalytic functions of individual KDACs by investigating the molecular and cellular changes upon genetic inactivation.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase (HDAC) inhibitors used in the clinic typically contain a hydroxamate zinc-binding group (ZBG). However, more recent work has shown that the use of alternative ZBGs, and, in particular, the heterocyclic oxadiazoles, can confer higher isoenzyme selectivity and more favorable ADMET profiles. Herein, we report on the synthesis and biochemical, crystallographic, and computational characterization of a series of oxadiazole-based inhibitors selectively targeting the HDAC6 isoform. Surprisingly, but in line with a very recent finding reported in the literature, a crystal structure of the HDAC6/inhibitor complex revealed that hydrolysis of the oxadiazole ring transforms the parent oxadiazole into an acylhydrazide through a sequence of two hydrolytic steps. An identical cleavage pattern was also observed both in vitro using the purified HDAC6 enzyme as well as in cellular systems. By employing advanced quantum and molecular mechanics (QM/MM) and QM calculations, we elucidated the mechanistic details of the two hydrolytic steps to obtain a comprehensive mechanistic view of the double hydrolysis of the oxadiazole ring. This was achieved by fully characterizing the reaction coordinate, including identification of the structures of all intermediates and transition states, together with calculations of their respective activation (free) energies. In addition, we ruled out several (intuitively) competing pathways. The computed data (ΔG‡ ≈ 21 kcal·mol-1 for the rate-determining step of the overall dual hydrolysis) are in very good agreement with the experimentally determined rate constants, which a posteriori supports the proposed reaction mechanism. We also clearly (and quantitatively) explain the role of the -CF3 or -CHF2 substituent on the oxadiazole ring, which is a prerequisite for hydrolysis to occur. Overall, our data provide compelling evidence that the oxadiazole warheads can be efficiently transformed within the active sites of target metallohydrolases to afford reaction products possessing distinct selectivity and inhibition profiles.

Chemoproteomic target deconvolution reveals Histone Deacetylases as targets of (R)-lipoic acid. Nat Commun 2023; 14:3548.

Abstract
Lipoic acid is an essential enzyme cofactor in central metabolic pathways. Due to its claimed antioxidant properties, racemic (R/S)-lipoic acid is used as a food supplement but is also investigated as a pharmaceutical in over 180 clinical trials covering a broad range of diseases. Moreover, (R/S)-lipoic acid is an approved drug for the treatment of diabetic neuropathy. However, its mechanism of action remains elusive. Here, we performed chemoproteomics-aided target deconvolution of lipoic acid and its active close analog lipoamide. We find that histone deacetylases HDAC1, HDAC2, HDAC3, HDAC6, HDAC8, and HDAC10 are molecular targets of the reduced form of lipoic acid and lipoamide. Importantly, only the naturally occurring (R)-enantiomer inhibits HDACs at physiologically relevant concentrations and leads to hyperacetylation of HDAC substrates. The inhibition of HDACs by (R)-lipoic acid and lipoamide explain why both compounds prevent stress granule formation in cells and may also provide a molecular rationale for many other phenotypic effects elicited by lipoic acid.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes pursued as drug targets in various cancers and several non-oncological conditions, such as inflammation and neurodegenerative disorders. In the past decade, HDAC inhibitors (HDACi) have emerged as relevant pharmaceuticals, with many efforts devoted to the development of new representatives. However, the growing safety concerns regarding the established hydroxamic acid-based HDAC inhibitors tend to drive current research more toward the design of inhibitors bearing alternative zinc-binding groups (ZBGs). This Perspective presents an overview of all non-hydroxamic acid ZBGs that have been incorporated into the clinically approved prototypical HDACi, suberoylanilide hydroxamic acid (vorinostat). This provides the unique opportunity to compare the inhibition potential and biological effects of different ZBGs in a direct way, as the compounds selected for this Perspective differ only in their ZBG. To that end, different strategies used to select a ZBG, its properties, activity, and liabilities are discussed.

Abstract
Profiling drug-protein interactions is critical for understanding a drug's mechanism of action and predicting the possible adverse side effects. However, to comprehensively profile drug-protein interactions remains a challenge. To address this issue, we proposed a strategy that integrates multiple mass spectrometry-based omics analysis to provided global drug-protein interactions, including physical interactions and functional interactions, with rapamycin (Rap) as a model. Chemoproteomics profiling reveals 47 Rap binding proteins including the known target protein FKBP12 with high confidence. Gen Ontology enrichment analysis suggested that the Rap binding proteins are implicated in several important cellular processes, such as DNA replication, immunity, autophagy, programmed cell death, aging, transcription modulation, vesicle-mediated transport, membrane organization, and carbohydrate and nucleobase metabolic processes. The phosphoproteomics profiling revealed 255 down-regulated and 150 up-regulated phosphoproteins responding to Rap stimulation; they mainly involve the PI3K-Akt-mTORC1 signaling axis. Untargeted metabolomic profiling revealed 22 down-regulated metabolites and 75 up-regulated metabolites responding to Rap stimulation; they are mainly associated with the synthesis processes of pyrimidine and purine. The integrative multiomics data analysis provides deep insight into the drug-protein interactions and reveals Rap's complicated mechanism of action.

Abstract
Although most cancer drugs modulate the activities of cellular pathways by changing posttranslational modifications (PTMs), little is known regarding the extent and the time- and dose-response characteristics of drug-regulated PTMs. In this work, we introduce a proteomic assay called decryptM that quantifies drug-PTM modulation for thousands of PTMs in cells to shed light on target engagement and drug mechanism of action. Examples range from detecting DNA damage by chemotherapeutics, to identifying drug-specific PTM signatures of kinase inhibitors, to demonstrating that rituximab kills CD20-positive B cells by overactivating B cell receptor signaling. DecryptM profiling of 31 cancer drugs in 13 cell lines demonstrates the broad applicability of the approach. The resulting 1.8 million dose-response curves are provided as an interactive molecular resource in ProteomicsDB.

Abstract
Histone deacetylase 6 (HDAC6) is a unique member of the HDAC family of enzymes due to its complex domain organization and cytosolic localization. Experimental data point toward the therapeutic use of HDAC6-selective inhibitors (HDAC6is) for use in both neurological and psychiatric disorders. In this article, we provide side-by-side comparisons of hydroxamate-based HDAC6is frequently used in the field and a novel HDAC6 inhibitor containing the difluoromethyl-1,3,4-oxadiazole function as an alternative zinc-binding group (compound 7). In vitro isotype selectivity screening uncovered HDAC10 as a primary off-target for the hydroxamate-based HDAC6is, while compound 7 features exquisite 10,000-fold selectivity over all other HDAC isoforms. Complementary cell-based assays using tubulin acetylation as a surrogate readout revealed approximately 100-fold lower apparent potency for all compounds. Finally, the limited selectivity of a number of these HDAC6is is shown to be linked to cytotoxicity in RPMI-8226 cells. Our results clearly show that off-target effects of HDAC6is must be considered before attributing observed physiological readouts solely to HDAC6 inhibition. Moreover, given their unparalleled specificity, the oxadiazole-based inhibitors would best be employed either as research tools in further probing HDAC6 biology or as leads in the development of truly HDAC6-specific compounds in the treatment of human disease states.

Kang D, Kim DW, Kim JC, Park HS. A Versatile Strategy for Screening Custom-Designed Warhead-Armed Cyclic Peptide Inhibitors. Angew Chem Int Ed Engl 2023; 62:e202214815.

Abstract
Demand for peptide-based pharmaceuticals has been steadily increasing, but only limited success has been achieved to date. To expedite peptide-based drug discovery, we developed a general scheme for cell-based screening of cyclic peptide inhibitors armed with a user-designed warhead. We combined unnatural amino acid incorporation and split intein-mediated peptide cyclization techniques and integrated a yeast-based colorimetric screening assay to generate a new scheme that we call the custom-designed warhead-armed cyclic peptide screening platform (CWCPS). This strategy successfully discovered a potent inhibitor, CY5-6Q, that targets human histone deacetylase 8 (HDAC8) with a KD value of 15 nM. This approach can be a versatile and general platform for discovering cyclic peptide inhibitors.

Abstract
Colorectal cancer has proven to be difficult to treat as it is the second leading cause of cancer death for both men and women worldwide. Recent work has shown the importance of microRNA (miRNA) in the progression and metastasis of colorectal cancer. Here, we develop a metric based on miRNA-gene target interactions, previously validated to be associated with colorectal cancer. We use this metric with a regularized Cox model to produce a small set of top-performing genes related to colon cancer. We show that using the miRNA metric and a Cox model led to a meaningful improvement in colon cancer survival prediction and correct patient risk stratification. We show that our approach outperforms existing methods and that the top genes identified by our process are implicated in NOTCH3 signaling and general metabolism pathways, which are essential to colon cancer progression.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are epigenetic regulators and additionally control the activity of non-histone substrates. We recently demonstrated that inhibition of HDAC8 overexpressed in various of cancers reduces hepatocellular carcinoma tumorigenicity in a T cell-dependent manner. Here, we present alkylated hydrazide-based class I HDAC inhibitors in which the n-hexyl side chain attached to the hydrazide moiety shows HDAC8 selectivity in vitro. Analysis of the mode of inhibition of the most promising compound 7d against HDAC8 revealed a substrate-competitive binding mode. 7d marked induced acetylation of the HDAC8 substrates H3K27 and SMC3 but not tubulin in CD4+ T lymphocytes, and significantly upregulated gene expressions for memory and effector functions. Furthermore, intraperitoneal injection of 7d (10 mg/kg) in C57BL/6 mice increased interleukin-2 expression in CD4+ T cells and CD8+ T cell proportion with no apparent toxicity. This study expands a novel chemotype of HDAC8 inhibitors with T cell modulatory properties for future therapeutic applications.

Abstract
Protein post-translational modifications (PTMs), which are usually enzymatically catalyzed, are major regulators of protein activity and involved in almost all celluar processes. Dysregulation of PTMs is associated with various types of diseases. Therefore, PTM regulatory enzymes represent as an attractive and important class of targets in drug research and development. Inhibitors against kinases, methyltransferases, deacetyltransferases, ubiquitin ligases have achieved remarkable success in clinical application. Mass spectrometry-based proteomics technologies serve as a powerful approach for system-wide characterization of PTMs, which facilitates the identification of drug targets, elucidation of the mechanisms of action of drugs, and discovery of biomakers in personalized therapy. In this review, we summarize recent advances of proteomics-based studies on PTM targeting drugs and discuss how proteomics strategies facilicate drug target identification, mechanism elucidation, and new therapy development in precision medicine.

Abstract
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) is one of the most aggressive malignancies with high potential of metastases and therapeutic resistance. Although genetic mutations drive PDAC initiation, they alone do not explain its aggressive nature. Epigenetic mechanisms, including aberrant DNA methylation and histone modifications, significantly contribute to inter- and intratumoral heterogeneity, disease progression and metastasis. Thus, increased understanding of the epigenetic landscape in PDAC could offer new potential biomarkers and tailored therapeutic approaches. In this review, we shed light on the role of epigenetic modifications in PDAC biology and on the potential clinical applications of epigenetic biomarkers in liquid biopsy. In addition, we provide an overview of clinical trials assessing epigenetically targeted treatments alone or in combination with other anticancer therapies to improve outcomes of patients with PDAC.

Abstract
Finding the targets of natural products is of key importance in both chemical biology and drug discovery, and deconvolution of cofactor interactomes contributes to the functional annotation of the proteome. Identifying the proteins that underlie natural compound activity in phenotypic screens helps to validate the respective targets and, potentially, expand the druggable proteome. Here, we present a generally applicable protocol for the photoactivated immobilization of unmodified and microgram quantities of natural products on diazirine-decorated beads and their use for systematic affinity-based proteome profiling. We show that among 31 molecules of very diverse reported activity and biosynthetic origin, 25 could indeed be immobilized. Dose-response competition binding experiments using lysates of human or bacterial cells followed by quantitative mass spectrometry recapitulated targets of 9 molecules with <100 μM affinity. Among them, immobilization of coenzyme A produced a tool to interrogate proteins containing a HotDog domain. Surprisingly, immobilization of the cofactor flavin adenine dinucleotide (FAD) led to the identification of nanomolar interactions with dozens of RNA-binding proteins.

Abstract
We report the first well-characterized selective chemical probe for histone deacetylase 10 (HDAC10) with unprecedented selectivity over other HDAC isozymes. HDAC10 deacetylates polyamines and has a distinct substrate specificity, making it unique among the 11 zinc-dependent HDAC hydrolases. Taking inspiration from HDAC10 polyamine substrates, we systematically inserted an amino group ("aza-scan") into the hexyl linker moiety of the approved drug Vorinostat (SAHA). This one-atom replacement (C→N) transformed SAHA from an unselective pan-HDAC inhibitor into a specific HDAC10 inhibitor. Optimization of the aza-SAHA structure yielded the HDAC10 chemical probe DKFZ-748, with potency and selectivity demonstrated by cellular and biochemical target engagement, as well as thermal shift assays. Cocrystal structures of our aza-SAHA derivatives with HDAC10 provide a structural rationale for potency, and chemoproteomic profiling confirmed exquisite cellular HDAC10-selectivity of DKFZ-748 across the target landscape of HDAC drugs. Treatment of cells with DKFZ-748, followed by quantification of selected polyamines, validated for the first time the suspected cellular function of HDAC10 as a polyamine deacetylase. Finally, in a polyamine-limiting in vitro tumor model, DKFZ-748 showed dose-dependent growth inhibition of HeLa cells. We expect DKFZ-748 and related probes to enable further studies on the enigmatic biology of HDAC10 and acetylated polyamines in both physiological and pathological settings.

Abstract
Melanoma is the most aggressive form of skin cancer resulting from genetic mutations in melanocytes. Several factors have been considered to be involved in melanoma progression, including genetic alteration, processes of damaged DNA repair, and changes in mechanisms of cell growth and proliferation. Epigenetics is the other factor with a crucial role in melanoma development. Epigenetic changes have become novel targets for treating patients suffering from melanoma. These changes can alter the expression of microRNAs and their interaction with target genes, which involves cell growth, differentiation, or even death. Given these circumstances, we conducted the present review to discuss the melanoma risk factors and represent the current knowledge about the factors related to its etiopathogenesis. Moreover, various epigenetic pathways, which are involved in melanoma progression, treatment, and chemo-resistance, as well as employed epigenetic factors as a solution to the problems, will be discussed in detail.

Abstract
The acetylation status of histones located in both oncogenes and tumor suppressor genes modulate cancer hallmarks. In lung cancer, changes in the acetylation status are associated with increased cell proliferation, tumor growth, migration, invasion, and metastasis. Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are a group of enzymes that take part in the elimination of acetyl groups from histones. Thus, HDACs regulate the acetylation status of histones. Although several therapies are available to treat lung cancer, many of these fail because of the development of tumor resistance. One mechanism of tumor resistance is the aberrant expression of HDACs. Specific anti-cancer therapies modulate HDACs expression, resulting in chromatin remodeling and epigenetic modification of the expression of a variety of genes. Thus, HDACs are promising therapeutic targets to improve the response to anti-cancer treatments. Besides, natural compounds such as phytochemicals have potent antioxidant and chemopreventive activities. Some of these compounds modulate the deregulated activity of HDACs (e.g. curcumin, apigenin, EGCG, resveratrol, and quercetin). These phytochemicals have been shown to inhibit some of the cancer hallmarks through HDAC modulation. The present review discusses the epigenetic mechanisms by which HDACs contribute to carcinogenesis and resistance of lung cancer cells to anticancer therapies.
