The long-lived proteome constitutes a pool of exceptionally stable proteins with limited turnover. Previous studies on ubiquitin-mediated protein degradation primarily focused on relatively short-lived proteins; how ubiquitylation modifies the long-lived proteome and its regulatory effect on adult lifespan is unclear. Here we profile the age-dependent dynamics of long-lived proteomes in Drosophila by mass spectrometry using stable isotope switching coupled with antibody-enriched ubiquitylome analysis. Our data describe landscapes of long-lived proteins in somatic and reproductive tissues of Drosophila during adult lifespan, and reveal a preferential ubiquitylation of older long-lived proteins. We identify an age-modulated increase of ubiquitylation on long-lived histone 2A protein in Drosophila, which is evolutionarily conserved in mouse, monkey, and human. A reduction of ubiquitylated histone 2A in mutant flies is associated with longevity and healthy lifespan. Together, our data reveal an evolutionarily conserved biomarker of aging that links epigenetic modulation of the long-lived histone protein to lifespan.

FOXO transcription factors have long been associated with longevity control and tissue homeostasis. Although the transcriptional regulation of FOXO have been previously characterized (especially in long-lived insulin mutants and under stress conditions), how normal aging impacts the transcriptional activity of FOXO is poorly understood. Here, we conducted a chromatin immunoprecipitation sequencing (ChIP-Seq) analysis in both young (2-week-old) and aged (5-week-old) wild-type female fruit flies, Drosophila melanogaster, to evaluate the dynamics of FOXO gene targeting during aging. Intriguingly, the number of FOXO-bound genes dramatically decreases with age (from 2617 to 224). Consistent to the reduction of FOXO binding activity, many genes targeted by FOXO in young flies are transcriptionally altered with age, either up-regulated (FOXOrepressing genes) or down-regulated (FOXO-activating genes) in adult head tissue. In addition, we show that many FOXO-bound genes in wild-type flies are unique from those in insulin receptor substrate chico mutants. Distinct from chico mutants, FOXO targets specific cellular processes (e.g., actin cytoskeleton) and signaling pathways (e.g., Hippo, MAPK) in young wild-type female flies. FOXO targeting on these pathways decreases with age. Interestingly, FOXO targets in aged flies are enriched in cellular processes like chromatin organization and nucleosome assembly. Furthermore, FOXO binding to core histone genes is well maintained at aged flies. Together, our findings provide new insights into dynamic FOXO targeting under normal aging and highlight the diverse and understudied regulatory mechanisms for FOXO transcriptional activity.

Large-scale metabolite annotation is a challenge in liquid chromatogram-mass spectrometry (LC-MS)-based untargeted metabolomics. Here, we develop a metabolic reaction network (MRN)-based recursive algorithm (MetDNA) that expands metabolite annotations without the need for a comprehensive standard spectral library. MetDNA is based on the rationale that seed metabolites and their reaction-paired neighbors tend to share structural similarities resulting in similar MS2 spectra. MetDNA characterizes initial seed metabolites using a small library of MS2 spectra, and utilizes their experimental MS2 spectra as surrogate spectra to annotate their reaction-paired neighbor metabolites, which subsequently serve as the basis for recursive analysis. Using different LC-MS platforms, data acquisition methods, and biological samples, we showcase the utility and versatility of MetDNA and demonstrate that about 2000 metabolites can cumulatively be annotated from one experiment. Our results demonstrate that MetDNA substantially expands metabolite annotation, enabling quantitative assessment of metabolic pathways and facilitating integrative multi-omics analysis.

The CRISPR-Cas9 system is a genomic editing tool widely used in basic research and under investigation for potential applications in gene therapies for human diseases. To accomplish genomic editing, the system requires the expression of a prokaryotic DNA endonuclease enzyme, Cas9, in host cells. Previous studies have mainly focused on the specificity of Cas9 on the host genome, and thus it is unclear whether this bacterium-derived enzyme affects the protein homeostasis of host cells. Here we applied multi-omic analyses, including transcriptome, proteome, phosphoproteome, Cas9- associated protein interactome, protein synthesis, and histone epigenetic modification, to investigate the cellular response of human cells upon the expression of Cas9. We demonstrate that Cas9 has minimal impact on host cells. Our assessment of intracellular effects of Cas9 paves a path for its broad applications in biological studies and potential clinical translations.

2018年6月28日，美国University of Pennsylvania, Professor of Biology, Dr. Dejian Ren应刘南研究员邀请，在中国科学院生物与化学交叉研究中心进行了题为“ Ion Channels in Lysosomal Function”的学术报告。Dr.Ren本科学习物理专业，毕业后转入生物领域进行离子通道方面的研究；近年来专注于细胞器离子通道的结构与功能，并持续高产地发表了一系列高水平研究成果，令人印象深刻。报告中，Dr.Ren揭示，细胞器Lysosome表面实际存在多种离子通道，包括Na+, K+, Cl+等离子通道，这些离子通道在感受胞内胞外环境，调控细胞营养供给，清除胞内垃圾等方面起着重要的作用。值得一提的是，一种新型的Lysosomal K+通道蛋白TMEM175，有GWAS证据指出其与神经退行性疾病的发生存在关联，这暗示着Lysosomal离子通道有可能成为治疗这种疾病的药物靶点。

Epigenetic alteration has been implicated in aging. However, the mechanism by which epigenetic change impacts aging remains to be understood. H3K27me3, a highly conserved histone modification signifying transcriptional repression, is marked and maintained by Polycomb Repressive Complexes (PRCs). Here, we explore the mechanism by which age-modulated increase of H3K27me3 impacts adult lifespan. Using Drosophila, we reveal that aging leads to loss of fidelity in epigenetic marking and drift of H3K27me3 and consequential reduction in the expression of glycolytic genes with negative effects on energy production and redox state. We show that a reduction of H3K27me3 by PRCs-deficiency promotes glycolysis and healthy lifespan. While perturbing glycolysis diminishes the pro-lifespan benefits mediated by PRCs-deficiency, transgenic increase of glycolytic genes in wild-type animals extends longevity. Together, we propose that epigenetic drift of H3K27me3 is one of the molecular mechanisms that contribute to aging and that stimulation of glycolysis promotes metabolic health and longevity.

2018年1月10日，中科院上海上海生科院巴斯德所研究所潘磊研究员应刘南研究员的邀请，在中国科学院生物与化学交叉研究中心进行了题为“The homeostasis of intestinal innate eco-immunology ”的学术报告。潘磊研究员主要介绍了利用果蝇构建了成熟的病原菌感染模型，并利用大规模遗传筛选体系，寻找到Bap180因子具有调节肠道天然免疫平衡的新功能。Bap180应答肠道的IMD天然免疫通路，以负反馈方式在转录水平上限制IMD通路的过度活化,同时抑制由促炎因子Eiger介导的肠道炎性风暴和肠上皮组织损伤。小鼠肠上皮特异敲除进一步证实了Baf180在高等动物中具有同样的保守机制。此外，该研究还表明Bap180不仅针对病原菌急性感染所造成的炎性风暴有抑制作用，同时对于共生菌所触发的肠道慢性炎症的积累也具有重要的平衡作用。该研究中发现了一个重要的监控机体肠道天然免疫平衡的调节因子Bap180/Baf180，并解析了其可以作为关联天然免疫通路和炎性反应的关键节点，为今后肠炎诊断或是药物靶点的开发提供了重要的理论依据。

2015年5月4日，加尼福尼亚大学的舒校坤博士在中国科学院生物与化学交叉研究中心进行了题为“Arationally designed fluorogenic protease reporter visualizes spatiotemporal dynamics of apoptosis in vivo”的精彩学术报告。本次报告由刘南研究员主持。本次报告主要的内容是关于一种新的成像技术。基于荧光共振能量传递的reporters已经广泛用于细胞信号的成像。但是，由于在体内应用中信号较弱，导致了一定的缺陷。荧光reporters解决了这个问题，目前还没有这类的蛋白酶被证明可以在体内成像。现在他们重新设计了一个红外荧光蛋白，蛋白酶的活性可以调节发色团的掺入。基于蛋白酶的活化，红外荧光蛋白酶reporter在没有外源性辅助因子的情况下也可以发光。为了证实这一生物学的应用，他们设计了一个infrared fluorogenic executioner-caspase reporter，它在细胞凋亡和胚胎形态中起着时空调节的的作用，同时也在果蝇肿瘤发生过程中的凋亡动力学中起着相同的作用。这种设计的支架将会应用于其他蛋白酶类的engineer reporters中，但是必须具有特异性切割序列。他们目前的工作展示了一个新的方法，主要是通过处理特异性的蛋白与发色团之间的相互作用而达到。报告结束后，师生们踊跃提出自己的疑问与见解，舒博士为大家一一作答，并进行了进一步的探讨和交流。最后在大家的掌声中报告圆满结束。
