Monitoring On-Target Signaling Responses in Larval Zebrafish- Z-REX Unmasks Precise Mechanisms of Electrophilic Drugs and Metabolites

Yimon Aye, Jesse Poganik, Kuan-Ting Huang, Phillippe Ly

Reactive metabolites and related electrophilic drugs are among the most challenging small molecules to study. Conventional approaches to deconstruct the mode of action (MOA) of such molecules leverage bulk treatment of experimental specimens with an excess ...

Z-REX uncovers a bifurcation in function of Keap1 paralogs

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

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

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

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 ...

Electrophile Signaling and Emerging Immuno- and Neuro-modulatory Electrophilic Pharmaceuticals

Yimon Aye, Jesse Poganik

With a lipid-rich environment and elevated oxygen consumption, the central nervous system (CNS) is subject to intricate regulation by lipid-derived electrophiles (LDEs). Investigations into oxidative damage and chronic LDE generation in neural disorders ha ...

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

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

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 ...

Post-transcriptional regulation of Nrf2-mRNA by the mRNA-binding proteins HuR and AUF1

Yimon Aye, Jesse Poganik, Xuyu Liu

The nuclear factor erythroid 2 related factor 2 (Nrf2) signaling axis is a target of covalent drugs and bioactive native electrophiles. However, much of our understanding of Nrf2 regulation has been focused at the protein level. Here we report a post-trans ...

Redox Signaling by Reactive Electrophiles and Oxidants

Yimon Aye, Jesse Poganik

The concept of cell signaling in the context of nonenzyme-assisted protein modifications by reactive electrophilic and oxidative species, broadly known as redox signaling, is a uniquely complex topic that has been approached from numerous different and mul ...

Weighing up the Selenocysteome Uncovers New Sec-rets

Yimon Aye, Jesse Poganik

Challenging the paradigm of SECIS-dependent selenoprotein translation, in this issue of Cell Chemical Biology Guo et al. (2018) introduce a new selenoprotein profiling platform with which they identify novel selenoproteins apparently lacking SECIS. With in ...
