Introduction: Neddylation is a highly dynamic and reversible post-translational modification. The abnormality of neddylation has previously been shown to be closely related to some human diseases. The detection of neddylation sites is essential for elucidating the regulation mechanisms of protein neddylation.

Objective: As the detection of the lysine neddylation sites by the traditional experimental method is often expensive and time-consuming, it is imperative to design computational methods to identify neddylation sites.

Methods: In this study, a bioinformatics tool named NeddPred is developed to identify underlying protein neddylation sites. A bi-profile bayes feature extraction is used to encode neddylation sites and a fuzzy support vector machine model is utilized to overcome the problem of noise and class imbalance in the prediction.

Results: Matthew's correlation coefficient of NeddPred achieved 0.7082 and an area under the receiver operating characteristic curve of 0.9769. Independent tests show that NeddPred significantly outperforms existing lysine neddylation sites predictor NeddyPreddy.

Conclusion: Therefore, NeddPred can be a complement to the existing tools for the prediction of neddylation sites. A user-friendly webserver for NeddPred is accessible at 123.206.31.171/NeddPred/.

This study investigated whether the neddylation inhibitor MLN4924 induces aberrant DNA methylation patterns in acute myeloid leukemia and contributes to the reactivation of tumor suppressor genes. DNA methylation profiles of Kasumi-1 and KU812 acute myeloid leukemia cell lines before and after MLN4924 treatment were generated using the 850K Methylation BeadChip. RNA sequencing was used to obtain transcriptomic profiles of Kasumi-1 cells.

Article Synopsis
  • Ubiquitination is a crucial posttranslational modification that regulates protein balance in eukaryotic cells, and its role in forming chicken primordial germ cells (PGCs) has been highlighted through transcriptome and proteome studies.
  • Using advanced techniques like affinity enrichment and liquid chromatography-tandem mass spectrometry (MS/MS), the study identified 724 up-regulated and 138 down-regulated lysine ubiquitination sites across various proteins during the differentiation from embryonic stem cells to PGCs.
  • Additionally, the research revealed that ubiquitination influences key signaling pathways (like Wnt, MAPK, and insulin) crucial for PGC development, and showed that modulation of neddylation affects PGC characteristics, thereby emphasizing the

SHP2 deneddylation mediates tumor immunosuppression in colon cancer via the CD47/SIRPα axis.

J Clin Invest

Department of Pathology and Pathophysiology, and Department of Respiratory Medicine at Sir Run-Run Shaw Hospital, Zhejiang University School of Medicine, Hangzhou, China.

SIPRα on macrophages binds with CD47 to resist proengulfment signals, but how the downstream signal of SIPRα controls tumor-infiltrating macrophages (TIMs) is still poorly clarified. Here, we report that the CD47/signal regulatory protein α (SIRPα) axis requires the deneddylation of tyrosine phosphatase SHP2. Mechanistically, Src homology region 2-containing protein tyrosine phosphatase 2 (SHP2) was constitutively neddylated on K358 and K364 sites; thus, its autoinhibited conformation was maintained.

The identification of modification sites for ubiquitin and ubiquitin-like modifiers is an essential step in the elucidation of controlled processes. The ubiquitin-like modifier NEDD8 is an important regulator of plethora of biological processes both under homeostatic and proteotoxic stress conditions. Here, we describe a detailed protocol for proteome-wide identification of NEDDylation sites.

Myeloid-derived suppressor cells (MDSCs), a population derived from immature myeloid progenitors, are present in the tumors of patients and highly protumorigenic. However, the molecular mechanisms regulating MDSC infiltration remain unclear. Neddylation pathway is overactivated in multiple cancers and has a significant role in tumor progression.
