Abstract
We discovered that the survival and growth of many primary acute myeloid leukemia (AML) samples and cell lines, but not normal CD34+ cells, are dependent on SIRT5, a lysine deacylase implicated in regulating multiple metabolic pathways. Dependence on SIRT5 is genotype-agnostic and extends to RAS- and p53-mutated AML. Results were comparable between SIRT5 knockdown and SIRT5 inhibition using NRD167, a potent and selective SIRT5 inhibitor. Apoptosis induced by SIRT5 disruption is preceded by reductions in oxidative phosphorylation and glutamine utilization, and an increase in mitochondrial superoxide that is attenuated by ectopic superoxide dismutase 2. These data indicate that SIRT5 controls and coordinates several key metabolic pathways in AML and implicate SIRT5 as a vulnerability in AML.

Abstract
Staphylococcus aureus is a commensal colonizer of both humans and animals, but also an opportunistic pathogen responsible for a multitude of diseases. In recent years, colonization of pigs by methicillin resistant S. aureus has become a problem with increasing numbers of humans being infected by livestock strains. In S. aureus colonization and virulence factor expression is controlled by the agr quorum sensing system, which responds to and is activated by self-generated, autoinducing peptides (AIPs). AIPs are also produced by coagulase negative staphylococci (CoNS) commonly found as commensals in both humans and animals, and interestingly, some of these inhibit S. aureus agr activity. Here, we have addressed if cross-communication occurs between S. aureus and CoNS strains isolated from pig nares, and if so, how properties such as host factor binding and biofilm formation are affected. From 25 pig nasal swabs we obtained 54 staphylococcal CoNS isolates belonging to 8 different species. Of these, none were able to induce S. aureus agr as monitored by reporter gene fusions to agr regulated genes but a number of agr-inhibiting species were identified including Staphylococcus hyicus, Staphylococcus simulans, Staphylococcus arlettae, Staphylococcus lentus, and Staphylococcus chromogenes. After establishing that the inhibitory activity was mediated via AgrC, the receptor of AIPs, we synthesized selective AIPs to explore their effect on adhesion of S. aureus to fibronectin, a host factor involved in S. aureus colonization. Here, we found that the CoNS AIPs did not affect adhesion of S. aureus except for strain 8325-4. When individual CoNS strains were co-cultured together with S. aureus we observed variable degrees of biofilm formation which did not correlate with agr interactions. Our results show that multiple CoNS species can be isolated from pig nares and that the majority of these produce AIPs that inhibit S. aureus agr. Further they show that the consequences of the interactions between CoNS and S. aureus are complex and highly strain dependent.

Abstract
Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are enzymes involved in the epigenetic control of gene expression. A handful of HDAC inhibitors have been approved for the treatment of cancer, and HDAC inhibition has also been proposed as a novel therapeutic strategy for neurodegenerative disorders. These disorders include progranulin (PGRN)-deficient forms of frontotemporal dementia caused by mutations in the GRN gene that lead to haploinsufficiency. Hydroxamic-acid-based inhibitors of HDACs 1-3, reported to have fast-on/fast-off binding kinetics, induce increased expression of PGRN in human neuronal models, while the benzamide class of slow-binding HDAC inhibitors does not produce this effect. These observations indicate that the kinetics of HDAC inhibitor binding can be tuned for optimal induction of human PGRN expression in neurons. Here, we further expand on these findings using human cortical-like, glutamatergic neurons. We provide evidence that two prototypical, potent hydroxamic acid HDAC inhibitors that induce PGRN (panobinostat and trichostatin A) exhibit an initial fast-binding step followed by a second, slower step, referred to as mechanism B of slow binding, rather than simpler fast-on/fast-off binding kinetics. In addition, we show that trapoxin A, a macrocyclic, epoxyketone-containing class I HDAC inhibitor, exhibits slow binding with high, picomolar potency and also induces PGRN expression in human neurons. Finally, we demonstrate induction of PGRN expression by fast-on/fast-off, highly potent, macrocyclic HDAC inhibitors with ethyl ketone or ethyl ester Zn2+ binding groups. Taken together, these data expand our understanding of HDAC1-3 inhibitor binding kinetics, and further delineate the specific combinations of structural and kinetic features of HDAC inhibitors that are optimal for upregulating PGRN expression in human neurons and thus may have translational relevance in neurodegenerative disease.

Abstract
Staphylococci secrete autoinducing peptides (AIPs) as signalling molecules to regulate population-wide behaviour. AIPs from non-Staphylococcus aureus staphylococci have received attention as potential antivirulence agents to inhibit quorum sensing and virulence gene expression in the human pathogen Staphylococcus aureus. However, only a limited number of AIP structures from non-S. aureus staphylococci have been identified to date, as the minute amounts secreted in complex media render it difficult. Here, we report a method for the identification of AIPs by exploiting their thiolactone functionality for chemoselective trapping and enrichment of the compounds from the bacterial supernatant. Standard liquid chromatography mass spectrometry analysis, guided by genome sequencing data, then readily provides the AIP identities. Using this approach, we confirm the identity of five known AIPs and identify the AIPs of eleven non-S. aureus species, and we expect that the method should be extendable to AIP-expressing Gram-positive bacteria beyond the Staphylococcus genus.

Abstract
Selective covalent modification of a targeted protein is a powerful tool in chemical biology and drug discovery, with applications ranging from identification and characterization of proteins and their functions to the development of targeted covalent inhibitors. Most covalent ligands contain an affinity motif and an electrophilic warhead that reacts with a nucleophilic residue of the targeted protein. Because the electrophilic warhead is prone to react and modify off‐target nucleophiles, its reactivity should be balanced carefully to maximize target selectivity. Arylfluorosulfates have recently emerged as latent electrophiles for selective labeling of context‐specific tyrosine and lysine residues in protein pockets. Here, we review the recent but intense introduction of arylfluorosulfates into the arsenal of available warheads for selective covalent modification of proteins. We highlight the untapped potential of this functional group for use in chemical biology and drug discovery.

Abstract
The influenza M2 proton channel is a major drug target, but unfortunately, the acquisition of resistance mutations greatly reduces the functional life span of a drug in influenza treatment. New M2 inhibitors that inhibit mutant M2 channels otherwise resistant to the early adamantine-based drugs have been reported, but it remains unclear whether and how easy resistance could arise to such inhibitors. We have combined a newly developed proton conduction assay with an established method for selection and screening, both Escherichia coli-based, to enable the study of M2 function and inhibition. Combining this platform with two groups of structurally different M2 inhibitors allowed us to isolate drug resistant M2 channels from a mutant library. Two groups of M2 variants emerged from this analysis. A first group appeared almost unaffected by the inhibitor, M_089 (N13I, I35L, and F47L) and M_272 (G16C and D44H), and the single-substitution variants derived from these (I35L, L43P, D44H, and L46P). Functionally, these resemble the known drug resistant M2 channels V27A, S31N, and swine flu. In addition, a second group of tested M2 variants were all still inhibited by drugs but to a lesser extent than wild type M2. Molecular dynamics simulations aided in distinguishing the two groups where drug binding to the wild type and the less resistant M2 group showed a stable positioning of the ligand in the canonical binding pose, as opposed to the drug resistant group in which the ligand rapidly dissociated from the complex during the simulations.

Abstract
The M2 protein is an important target for drugs in the fight against the influenza virus. Because of the emergence of resistance against antivirals directed toward the M2 proton channel, the search for new drugs against resistant M2 variants is of high importance. Robust and sensitive assays for testing potential drug compounds on different M2 variants are valuable tools in this search for new inhibitors. In this work, we describe a fluorescence sensor-based assay, which we termed "pHlux", that measures proton conduction through M2 when synthesized from an expression vector in Escherichia coli. The assay was compared to a previously established bacterial potassium ion transport complementation assay, and the results were compared to simulations obtained from analysis of a computational model of M2 and its interaction with inhibitor molecules. The inhibition of M2 was measured for five different inhibitors, including Rimantadine, Amantadine, and spiro type compounds, and the drug resistance of the M2 mutant variants (swine flu, V27A, and S31N) was confirmed. We demonstrate that the pHlux assay is robust and highly sensitive and shows potential for high-throughput screening.

Abstract
Sirtuins, a group of NAD+-dependent deacylases, have emerged as the key connection between NAD+ metabolism and aging. This class of enzymes hydrolyzes a range of ε- N-acyllysine PTMs, and determining the repertoire of catalyzed deacylation reactions is of high importance to fully elucidate the roles of a given sirtuin. Here we have identified and produced two potential sirtuins from the probiotic bacterium Lactobacillus acidophilus NCFM. Screening more than 80 different substrates, covering 26 acyl groups on five peptide scaffolds, demonstrated that one of the investigated proteins, Sir2La, is a bona fide NAD+-dependent sirtuin, catalyzing hydrolysis of acetyl-, propionyl-, and butyryllysine. Further substantiating the identity of Sir2La as a sirtuin, known sirtuin inhibitors, nicotinamide and suramin, as well as a thioacetyllysine compound inhibit the deacylase activity in a concentration-dependent manner. On the basis of steady-state kinetics, Sir2La showed a slight preference for propionyllysine (Kpro) over acetyllysine (Kac). For nonfluorogenic peptide substrates, the preference is driven by a remarkably low KM (280 nM vs 700 nM, for Kpro and Kac, respectively), whereas kcat was similar (21 × 10-3 s-1). Moreover, while NAD+ is a prerequisite for Sir2La-mediated deacylation, Sir2La has a very high KM for NAD+ compared to the expected levels of the dinucleotide in L. acidophilus. Sir2La is the first sirtuin from Lactobacillales and of the Gram-positive bacterial subclass of sirtuins to be functionally characterized. The ability to hydrolyze propionyl- and butyryllysine emphasizes the relevance of further exploring the role of other short-chain acyl moieties as PTMs.

Abstract
Lysine residues across the proteome are modified by posttranslational modifications (PTMs) that significantly enhance the structural and functional diversity of proteins. For lysine, the most abundant PTM is ɛ-N-acetyllysine (Kac), which plays numerous roles in regulation of important cellular functions, such as gene expression (epigenetic effects) and metabolism. A family of enzymes, namely histone deacetylases (HDACs), removes these PTMs. A subset of these enzymes, the sirtuins (SIRTs), represent class III HDAC and, unlike the rest of the family, these hydrolases are NAD+-dependent. Although initially described as deacetylases, alternative deacylase functions for sirtuins have been reported, which expands the potential cellular roles of this class of enzymes. Currently, sirtuins are investigated as therapeutic targets for the treatment of diseases that span from cancers to neurodegenerative disorders. In the present book chapter, we review and discuss the current literature on novel ɛ-N-acyllysine PTMs, targeted by sirtuins, as well as mechanism-based sirtuin inhibitors inspired by their substrates.

Abstract
Cells integrate nutrient sensing and metabolism to coordinate proper cellular responses to a particular nutrient source. For example, glucose drives a gene expression program characterized by activating genes involved in its metabolism, in part by increasing glucose-derived histone acetylation. Here, we find that lipid-derived acetyl-CoA is a major source of carbon for histone acetylation. Using 13C-carbon tracing combined with acetyl-proteomics, we show that up to 90% of acetylation on certain histone lysines can be derived from fatty acid carbon, even in the presence of excess glucose. By repressing both glucose and glutamine metabolism, fatty acid oxidation reprograms cellular metabolism, leading to increased lipid-derived acetyl-CoA. Gene expression profiling of octanoate-treated hepatocytes shows a pattern of upregulated lipid metabolic genes, demonstrating a specific transcriptional response to lipid. These studies expand the landscape of nutrient sensing and uncover how lipids and metabolism are integrated by epigenetic events that control gene expression.

Abstract
The sirtuin enzymes are important regulatory deacylases in a variety of biochemical contexts and may therefore be potential therapeutic targets through either activation or inhibition by small molecules. Here, we describe the discovery of the most potent inhibitor of sirtuin 5 (SIRT5) reported to date. We provide rationalization of the mode of binding by solving co-crystal structures of selected inhibitors in complex with both human and zebrafish SIRT5, which provide insight for future optimization of inhibitors with more "drug-like" properties. Importantly, enzyme kinetic evaluation revealed a slow, tight-binding mechanism of inhibition, which is unprecedented for SIRT5. This is important information when applying inhibitors to probe mechanisms in biology.

The strategy was applied for mapping the importance of the structural features in S. schleiferi AIP (5) by performing an alanine scan and truncation of this natural compound. This furnished some of the most potent inhibitors of accessory gene regulator (agr)-I in the human pathogen S. aureus reported to date.

Abstract
NAD+ is a dinucleotide cofactor with the potential to accept electrons in a variety of cellular reduction-oxidation (redox) reactions. In its reduced form, NADH is a ubiquitous cellular electron donor. NAD+, NADH, and the NAD+/NADH ratio have long been known to control the activity of several oxidoreductase enzymes. More recently, enzymes outside those participating directly in redox control have been identified that sense these dinucleotides, including the sirtuin family of NAD+-dependent protein deacylases. In this review, we highlight examples of non-redox enzymes that are controlled by NAD+, NADH, or NAD+/NADH. In particular, we focus on the sirtuin family and assess the current evidence that the sirtuin enzymes sense these dinucleotides and discuss the biological conditions under which this might occur; we conclude that sirtuins sense NAD+, but neither NADH nor the ratio. Finally, we identify future studies that might be informative to further interrogate physiological and pathophysiological changes in NAD+ and NADH, as well as enzymes like sirtuins that sense and respond to redox changes in the cell.

Abstract
Spinal muscular atrophy (SMA) is an autosomal recessive neuromuscular disorder that is caused by inactivating mutations in the Survival of motor neuron 1 (SMN1) gene, resulting in decreased SMN protein expression. Humans possess a paralog gene, SMN2, which contains a splicing defect in exon 7 leading to diminished expression of full-length, fully functional SMN protein. Increasing SMN2 expression has been a focus of therapeutic development for SMA. Multiple studies have reported the efficacy of histone deacetylase inhibitors (HDACi) in this regard. However, clinical trials involving HDACi have been unsatisfactory, possibly because previous efforts to identify HDACi to treat SMA have employed non-neuronal cells as the screening platform. To address this issue, we generated an SMA-patient specific, induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC) derived neuronal cell line that contains homogenous Tuj1+neurons. We screened a small library of cyclic tetrapeptide HDACi using this SMA neuronal platform and discovered compounds that elevate SMN2 expression by an impressive twofold or higher. These candidates are also capable of forming gems intranuclearly in SMA neurons, demonstrating biological activity. Our study identifies new potential HDACi therapeutics for SMA screened using a disease-relevant SMA neuronal cellular model.

Abstract
Sirtuins are NAD+-dependent protein deacylases that regulate several aspects of metabolism and aging. In contrast to the other mammalian sirtuins, the primary enzymatic activity of mitochondrial sirtuin 4 (SIRT4) and its overall role in metabolic control have remained enigmatic. Using a combination of phylogenetics, structural biology, and enzymology, we show that SIRT4 removes three acyl moieties from lysine residues: methylglutaryl (MG)-, hydroxymethylglutaryl (HMG)-, and 3-methylglutaconyl (MGc)-lysine. The metabolites leading to these post-translational modifications are intermediates in leucine oxidation, and we show a primary role for SIRT4 in controlling this pathway in mice. Furthermore, we find that dysregulated leucine metabolism in SIRT4KO mice leads to elevated basal and stimulated insulin secretion, which progressively develops into glucose intolerance and insulin resistance. These findings identify a robust enzymatic activity for SIRT4, uncover a mechanism controlling branched-chain amino acid flux, and position SIRT4 as a crucial player maintaining insulin secretion and glucose homeostasis during aging.
