| Outline of Final Research Achievements |
De novo synthesis of glucose (gluconeogenesis) from liver is induced by fasting glucagon, and is critical to maintain blood glucose levels. Such induction is dysregulated in diabetes, causing hyperglycemia. Our research shows that the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) GCN5 is an essential component for hepatic gluconeogenesis induced by glucagon/cAMP pathway. During fasting, GCN5 and CITED2 constitute a functional complex, in which GCN5 is phosphorylated. This phosphorylation promotes GCN5’s substrate switch from a coactivator to histone H3, leading to optimal epigenetic changes and recruitment of transcriptional machinery for maximal gluconeogenic gene transcription. Discovery of the fasting-inducible GCN5-containing complex and the substrate switch of GCN5 are crucial in biology. In addition, disassembly of this module ameliorates hyperglycemia in diabetic mice, suggesting it as an attractive target to treat type 2 diabetes.
