Z-REX uncovers a bifurcation in function of Keap1 paralogs

Yimon Aye, Xuyu Liu, Jesse Poganik, Alexandra Krina Van Hall-Beauvais, Yi Zhao, Kuan-Ting Huang

Studying electrophile signaling is marred by difficulties in parsing changes in pathway flux attributable to on-target, vis-& agrave;-vis off-target, modifications. By combining bolus dosing, knockdown, and Z- REX & mdash;a tool investigating on- target/on ...

Function-guided proximity mapping unveils electrophilic-metabolite sensing by proteins not present in their canonical locales

Romain Hamelin, Yimon Aye, Yi Zhao, Pierre Alexander Miranda Herrera

Enzyme-assisted posttranslational modifications (PTMs) constitute a major means of signaling across different cellular compartments. However, how nonenzymatic PTMs-despite their direct relevance to covalent drug development-impinge on crosscompartment sign ...

Wdr1 and cofilin are necessary mediators of immune-cell-specific apoptosis triggered by Tecfidera

Yimon Aye, Jesse Poganik, Yi Zhao, Kuan-Ting Huang, Sruthi Raja

The mechanism-of-action of many electrohilic drugs remains poorly understood. Here, the authors use a redox-targeting approach to elucidate the basis for the innate immune cell toxicity of dimethyl fumarate, showing that it modifies Keap1 to trigger mitoch ...

Clofarabine Commandeers the RNR-alpha-ZRANB3 Nuclear Signaling Axis

Yimon Aye, Yi Zhao

Ribonucleotide reductase (RNR) is an essential enzyme in DNA biogenesis and a target of several chemotherapeutics. Here, we investigate how antileukemic drugs (e.g., clofarabine [CIF]) that target one of the two subunits of RNR, RNR-alpha, affect noncanoni ...

Neighborhood watch: tools for defining locale-dependent subproteomes and their contextual signaling activities

Yimon Aye, Yi Zhao

Transient associations between numerous organelles-e.g., the endoplasmic reticulum and the mitochondria-forge highly-coordinated, particular environments essential for cross-compartment information flow. Our perspective summarizes chemical-biology tools th ...

The mRNA-Binding Protein HuR Is a Kinetically-Privileged Electrophile Sensor

Yimon Aye, Jesse Poganik, Alexandra Krina Van Hall-Beauvais, Yi Zhao

The key mRNA-binding proteins HuR and AUF1 are reported stress sensors in mammals. Intrigued by recent reports of sensitivity of these proteins to the electrophilic lipid prostaglandin A2 and other redox signals, we here examined their sensing abilities to ...
