HDAC4-mediated deacetylation of GSDMD prevents pyroptosis by inhibiting GSDMD ubiquitination

摘要
Abstract Gasdermin D (GSDMD) functions as a key pyroptotic executor and induces cytokine secretion after cleavage by inflammatory caspases. However, less is known about the role of posttranslational modifications (PTMs) in GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis. Here, we report that GSDMD can be acetylated at Lysine 248 residue and the acetylation of GSDMD promotes pyroptosis. We identified histone deacetylase 4 (HDAC4) as the specific deacetylase that mediates GSDMD deacetylation and subsequent pyroptosis inhibition in vitro and in vivo . GSDMD deacetylation impairs the ubiquitination of GSDMD, for which pyroptosis is inhibited. Interestingly, the phosphorylation of HDAC4 is important for its ability of deacetylating GSDMD and suppressing GSDMD-mediated pyroptosis. The Protein phosphatase 1 (PP1) catalytic subunits (PP1α and PP1γ) mediate the dephosphorylation of HDAC4, thereby abrogating its deacetylase activity on GSDMD. Therefore, our work unravels a complex regulatory mechanism involving HDAC4, PP1 and GSDMD, and provides novel insights into the crosstalk among acetylation, ubiquitination and phosphorylation.
