Abstract
IMPORTANCE In this study, we have found that the existence of Smyd3 promoted the replication of SCRV. Additionally, we report that Smyd3 negatively regulates the NF-κB and IRF3 signaling pathway by facilitating the degradation of TAK1 in fish. Our findings suggest that Smyd3 interacts with TAK1. Further investigations have revealed that Smyd3 specifically mediates K48-linked ubiquitination of TAK1 and enhances TAK1 degradation, resulting in a significant inhibition of the NF-κB and IRF3 signaling pathway. These results not only contribute to the advancement of fish anti-viral immunity but also provide new evidence for understanding the mechanism of TAK1 in mammals.

Abstract
Vascular endothelial cell senescence and endoplasmic reticulum (ER) stress induced unfolded protein response (UPR) are two critical contributors to individual aging. However, whether these two biological events have crosstalk and are controlled by shared upstream regulators are largely unknown. Here, we found PARP16, a member of the Poly (ADP-ribose) polymerases family that tail-anchored ER transmembrane, was upregulated in angiotensin II (Ang II)-induced vascular aging and promoted UPR. Further, PARP16 was epigenetically upregulated by Smyd3, a histone H3 lysine 4 methyltransferase that bound to the promotor region of Parp16 gene and increased H3K4me3 level to activate its host gene’s transcription. Intervention of either Smyd3 or PARP16 ameliorated vascular aging associated phenotypes in both cell and mice models. This study identified Smyd3-PARP16 as a novel signal axis in regulating UPR and endothelial senescence, and targeting this axis has implications in preventing vascular aging and related diseases.

Abstract
Endothelial cell senescence is one of the main risk factors contributing to vascular diseases. As increasing number of “epigenetic drugs” entering clinical trials, understanding the mechanism of epigenetic regulation in vascular aging has significant implications in finding targets to cure vascular diseases. However, the epigenetic regulation of endothelial senescence remains unclear. Based on the findings that increased protein level of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methyltransferase Smyd3 and elevated H3K4me3 modification happened in angiotensin II (Ang II)‐induced senescence in rat endothelial cells, we are curious about whether and how Smyd3 can regulate endothelial senescence. We found that an increase of Smyd3 alone promoted senescence‐associated phenotypes, while knockdown of Smyd3 blocked senescence in endothelial cells. Furthermore, Smyd3‐specific inhibitor reversed vascular senescence‐associated phenotypes at cellular level. Importantly, Ang II‐induced vascular senescence can be greatly alleviated in Smyd3 knockout (KO) mice and those treated with Smyd3 inhibitor. Mechanistically, Smyd3 directly bound to the promoter region of Cdkn1a (coding for p21), then caused its increased H3K4me3 level and elevated gene expression, and ultimately gave rise to senescence‐associated phenotypes. Intriguingly, Smyd3‐mediated p21 upregulated expression also exists in human tissues of vascular disease, indicating it is probably an evolutionarily conserved mechanism in regulating vascular senescence. Thus, Smyd3 can act as a novel factor regulating endothelial senescence through transcriptionally promoting p21 expression. Blocking the Smyd3‐p21 signaling axis may also have potential medical implications in treating diseases related to vascular aging.

Abstract
Protein methylation plays a pivotal role in the regulation of various cellular processes including chromatin remodeling and gene expression. SET and MYND domain-containing proteins (Smyd) are a special class of lysine methyltransferases whose catalytic SET domain is split by an MYND domain. The hallmark feature of this family was thought to be the methylation of histone H3 (on lysine 4). However, several studies suggest that the role of the Smyd family is dynamic, targeting unique histone residues associated with both transcriptional activation and repression. Smyd proteins also methylate several non-histone proteins to regulate various cellular processes. Although we are only beginning to understand their specific molecular functions and role in chromatin remodeling, recent studies have advanced our understanding of this relatively uncharacterized family, highlighting their involvement in development, cell growth and differentiation and during disease in various animal models. This review summarizes our current knowledge of the structure, function and methylation targets of the Smyd family and provides a compilation of data emphasizing their prominent role in cardiac and skeletal muscle physiology and pathology.

Abstract
SMYD3 is a member of the SET and MYND-domain family of methyl-transferases, the increased expression of which correlates with poor prognosis in various types of cancer. In liver and colon tumors, SMYD3 is localized in the nucleus, where it interacts with RNA Pol II and H3K4me3 and functions as a selective transcriptional amplifier of oncogenes and genes that control cell proliferation and metastatic spread. Smyd3 expression has a high discriminative power for the characterization of liver tumors and positively correlates with poor prognosis. In lung and pancreatic cancer, SMYD3 acts in the cytoplasm, potentiating oncogenic Ras/ERK signaling through the methylation of the MAP3K2 kinase and the subsequent release from its inhibitor. A clinico-pathological analysis of lung cancer patients uncovers prognostic significance of SMYD3 only for first progression survival. However, stratification of patients according to their smoking history significantly expands the prognostic value of SMYD3 to overall survival and other features, suggesting that smoking-related effects saturate the clinical analysis and mask the function of SMYD3 as an oncogenic potentiator.

Abstract
BACKGROUND The human lysine methyltransferase Smyd3, a member of the SET and MYND domain containing protein family, harbors methylation activity on both histone and non-histone targets in a tightly regulated manner. The mechanism of how Smyd3 dynamically regulates substrate recognition is still not fully unveiled. METHODS Here, we employed molecular dynamics simulations on full length human Smyd3, performed to a total of 1.2 μ-second, in the presence (holo) and absence (apo) of the S-Adenosyl methionine (AdoMet) cofactor. The dynamical features of Smyd3 in apo and holo states have been examined and compared via examining geometrical and electrostatic properties. RESULTS The results show a distinct dynamics of the C-terminal domain (CTD) in the two states. In the apo state, the CTD undergoes a large hinge like motion and samples more opened configurations, thus acting like a loosened clamp and resulting in expanded substrate binding crevice. In the holo state, the CTD exhibits a restricted motion while the overall structure remains compact, mimicking a closed clamp. This leads to a localized increase in the negative potential at the substrate binding cleft. Further, solvent accessibility of critical residues at the target lysine access channel, important for methylation activity, is increased. CONCLUSIONS We postulate that AdoMet cofactor acts like a key and locks Smyd3 in a closed conformation. In effect, the cofactor binding restricts the elasticity of the CTD, presenting a compact substrate binding cleft with high negative potential, which may have implications on substrate recruitment via long range electrostatics. GENERAL SIGNIFICANCE The deletion of the CTD from Smyd3 has been shown to abolish the basal histone methylation activity. Our study highlights the importance of the CTD elasticity in shaping the substrate binding site for recognition and supports the previously proposed role of the CTD in stabilizing the active site for methylation activity.
