Biotin attenuates heat shock factor 4b transcriptional activity by lysine 444 biotinylation

Genetic mutations in HSF4 cause congenital cataracts. HSF4 exhibits both positive and negative regulation on the transcription of heat shock and non-heat shock proteins during lens development, and its activity is regulated by posttranslational modifications. Biotin is an essential vitamin that regu...

description Genetic mutations in HSF4 cause congenital cataracts. HSF4 exhibits both positive and negative regulation on the transcription of heat shock and non-heat shock proteins during lens development, and its activity is regulated by posttranslational modifications. Biotin is an essential vitamin that regulates gene expression through protein biotinylation. In this paper, we report that HSF4b is negatively regulated by biotinylation. Administration of biotin or ectopic bacterial biotin ligase BirA increases HSF4b biotinylation at its C-terminal amino acids from 196 to 493. This attenuates the HSF4b-controlled expression of αB-crystallin in both lens epithelial cells and tested HEK293T cells. HSF4b interacts with holocarboxylase synthetase (HCS), a ubiquitous enzyme for catalyzing protein biotinylation in mammal. Ectopic HA-HCS expression downregulates HSF4b-controlled αB-crystallin expression. Lysine-mutation analyses indicate that HSF4b/K444 is a potential biotinylation site. Mutation K444R reduces the co-precipitation of HSF4b by streptavidin beads and biotin-induced reduction of αB-crystallin expression. Mutations of other lysine residues such as K207R/K209R, K225R, K288R, K294R and K355R in HSF4's C-terminal region do not affect HSF4's expression level and the interaction with streptavidin, but they exhibit distinct regulation on αB-crystallin expression through different mechanisms. HSF4/K294R leads to upregulation of αB-crystallin expression, while mutations K207R/K209R, K225R, K288R, K255R and K435R attenuate HSF4's regulation on αB-crystallin expression. K207R/K209R blocks HSF4 nuclear translocation, and K345R causes HSF4 destabilization. Taken together, the data reveal that biotin maybe a novel factor in modulating HSF4 activity through biotinylation.
