Abstract

Lysine deacetylases (KDACs) are enzymes that reverse the post-translational modification of lysine acetylation. Thousands of potential substrates, acetylated protein sequences, have been identified in mammalian cells. Properly regulated acetylation and deacetylation have been linked to many biological processes, while aberrant KDAC activity has also been linked to numerous diseases. Commercially available peptide substrates that are conjugated to fluorescent dye molecules, such as 7-amino-4-methylcoumarin (AMC), are commonly used to monitor deacetylation in studies addressing both substrate specificity and small molecule modulators of activity. Here, we have compared the activity of several KDACs, representing all major classes of KDACs, with substrates in the presence and absence of AMC as well as peptides for which tryptophan has been substituted for AMC. Our results unequivocally demonstrate that AMC has a significant effect on activity for all KDACs tested. Furthermore, in neither the nature of the effect nor the magnitude is consistent across KDACs, making it impossible to predict the effect of AMC on a particular enzyme-substrate pair. AMC did not affect acetyllysine preference in a multiply acetylated substrate. In contrast, AMC significantly enhanced KDAC6 substrate affinity, greatly reduced Sirt1 activity, eliminated the substrate sequence specificity of KDAC4, and had no consistent effect with KDAC8 substrates. These results indicate that profiling of KDAC activity with labeled peptides is unlikely to produce biologically relevant data.

  • Fluorophore-coupled substrates have been questioned in several contexts.

    “Finally, because fluorophore-coupled substrates have been questioned in several contexts (Kaeberlein et al., 2005; Toro et al., 2017), we validated the preference for demyristoylation over deacetylation using non-fluorogenic peptides ( 7 -9 ) in an LC-MS-based assay (Fig. 2B).”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
