Item Open Access CoA synthase regulates mitotic fidelity via CBP-mediated acetylation.(Nature communications, 2018-03-12) Lin, Chao-Chieh; Kitagawa, Mayumi; Tang, Xiaohu; Hou, Ming-Hsin; Wu, Jianli; Qu, Dan Chen; Srinivas, Vinayaka; Liu, Xiaojing; Thompson, J Will; Mathey-Prevot, Bernard; Yao, Tso-Pang; Lee, Sang Hyun; Chi, Jen-TsanThe temporal activation of kinases and timely ubiquitin-mediated degradation is central to faithful mitosis. Here we present evidence that acetylation controlled by Coenzyme A synthase (COASY) and acetyltransferase CBP constitutes a novel mechanism that ensures faithful mitosis. We found that COASY knockdown triggers prolonged mitosis and multinucleation. Acetylome analysis reveals that COASY inactivation leads to hyper-acetylation of proteins associated with mitosis, including CBP and an Aurora A kinase activator, TPX2. During early mitosis, a transient CBP-mediated TPX2 acetylation is associated with TPX2 accumulation and Aurora A activation. The recruitment of COASY inhibits CBP-mediated TPX2 acetylation, promoting TPX2 degradation for mitotic exit. Consistently, we detected a stage-specific COASY-CBP-TPX2 association during mitosis. Remarkably, pharmacological and genetic inactivation of CBP effectively rescued the mitotic defects caused by COASY knockdown. Together, our findings uncover a novel mitotic regulation wherein COASY and CBP coordinate an acetylation network to enforce productive mitosis.Item Open Access DDR2 upregulation confers ferroptosis susceptibility of recurrent breast tumors through the Hippo pathway(Oncogene) Lin, Chao-Chieh; Yang, Wen-Hsuan; Lin, Yi-Tzu; Tang, Xiaohu; Chen, Po-Han; Ding, Chien-Kuang Cornelia; Qu, Dan Chen; Alvarez, James V; Chi, Jen-Tsan
