Protein inhibitors of activated STAT (PIAS) proteins regulate transcription in mammals. Despite their name, they can either activate or repress transcription. Whether PIAS proteins activate or repress transcription depends on the gene being regulated, as well as their specific type of interaction as transcriptional co-regulators with at least 60 different proteins. In addition to regulating activated STAT, PIAS proteins regulate other transcription factors, including NF-κB and p53, among others. They promote mechanisms that regulate transcription, including acting as E3 SUMO-protein ligases.

The seven proteins that belong to the mammalian PIAS family are encoded by four genes: PIAS1, PIAS2 (PIASx), PIAS3, and PIAS4 (PIASy). Apart from PIAS1, each gene encodes two protein isoforms. Homologues of PIAS proteins have been found in other eukaryotes, including Zimp/dPIAS in Drosophila melanogaster and zfPIAS4a in zebrafish. SIZ1 and SIZ2 were two homologues identified in yeast.

PIAS proteins may have implications in preventing many diseases, including cancer, autoimmune diseases, and obesity.

Discovery

The discovery of PIAS3 was first published in 1997. The discovery was made while the JAK-STAT pathway was being studied.[1] The discovery of other PIAS proteins, including PIAS1, PIASxα, PIASxβ, and PIASy, was published the following year.[2] The interaction between STATs and PIASs was characterized by the yeast two-hybrid assay.[1][2] PIAS proteins were named based on their ability to inhibit STAT. For example, PIAS1 inhibited STAT1,[2] and PIAS3 inhbited STAT3.[1]

When it was discovered that PIAS proteins did far more than simply inhibit STATs, it has been proposed that the PIAS acronym should stand for Pleiotropic Interactors Associated with SUMO based on their association with SUMO proteins.[3]

The discovery of PIASyE6- was published in 2004. It is an isoform of PIASy that doesn't contain exon 6.[4]

Types of PIAS proteins

PHD zinc finger domain of SIZ1

The table below lists the seven known proteins that belong to the mammalian PIAS protein family.[3][5] Due to alternative splicing, some PIAS protein-encoding genes encode multiple protein products called isoforms.[6]

Gene Encodes
PIAS1 PIAS1
PIAS2 (PIASx) PIASxα, PIASxβ
PIAS3 PIAS3, PIAS3L (also known as PIAS3β)
PIAS4 (PIASy) PIASy, PIASyE6-

Homologues

Structure

The domains (SAP, RLD, AD, S/T) and motifs (PINIT, SIM) found in most protein inhibitors of activated STAT (PIAS)

Four PIAS domains and two PIAS motifs have been identified. They include the N-terminal scaffold attachment factor-A/B, acinus and PIAS (SAP) domain, the Pro-Ile-Asn-Ile-Thr (PINIT) motif, the RING-finger-like zinc-binding domain (RLD), the highly acidic domain (AD), the SUMO-interacting motif (SIM), and the serine/threonine-rich C-terminal region (S/T).[3][5][11][12]

SAP domain

p53 binding domain of PIAS-1
p53 binding domain of PIAS-1.

The SAP domain is found in all PIAS proteins.[12] It is composed of four alpha helices.[13] It binds to areas of chromatin that are rich in adenine (A) and thymine (T). These A/T rich regions are known as matrix-attachment regions.[14] Once bound, the matrix-attachment regions anchor loops of chromatin to the nuclear matrix. The nuclear matrix is a structure within the nucleus where it is thought that transcription regulation takes place.[5][12] SAP also binds to p53.[13]

Each SAP domain contains an LXXLL amino acid motif.[12] L = leucine, and X = any amino acid. This motif is used to bind to nuclear receptors. Nuclear receptors are transcription factors that regulate transcription upon ligand binding.[15]

PINIT motif

The PINIT motif was discovered in PIAS3L, an isoform of PIAS3. PIAS proteins tend to go back and forth between the nucleus and cytosol as they carry out their activities. PINIT is needed to localize PIAS3 and PIAS3L to the nucleus.[16]

PIASy has a slight difference in its PINIT motif: leucine is in place of the second isoleucine (PINLT). Furthermore, the PINIT motif is not found in PIASy isoform PIASyE6-. This isoform, lacking exon 6, is still retained in the nucleus despite lacking the PINIT motif. The reason for this is unknown.[4]

RLD

The RING-finger-like zinc-binding domain is present in all PIAS proteins. RLD is essential for PIAS proteins to function as E3 SUMO-protein ligases. It is also needed for successful interaction with other proteins. Its three dimensional structure is thought to be similar to typical RING finger domains. It contains one histidine residue and five cysteine residues [3]

AD and SIM

The highly acidic domain, present in all PIAS proteins, contains a SIM motif.[12] The SIM motif may be needed for PIAS proteins to accurately recognize and interact with other SUMO proteins. However, it is not needed for E3 SUMO-protein ligase activity to occur.[3] The function of the highly acidic domain is unknown.[5]

S/T region

The S/T region is not found in all PIAS proteins. PIASy and PIASyE6- are the only members of the PIAS protein family that lack this region.[12] Furthermore, the length of this region varies among PIAS protein isoforms.[3] The function of the S/T region is unknown. [5]

Functions

PIAS proteins contribute to the control of gene expression, and may be considered transcriptional co-regulators.[17] While PIAS proteins interact with at least 60 different proteins involved in transcription,[12] they are known to act as small ubiquitin-related modifiers (SUMOs).[17] Depending on the target gene or transcriptional co-regulator, PIAS proteins can be activators or repressors.[17] One function of PIAS proteins is to relocate transcriptional regulators to different compartments within the nucleus of the cell.[17]

PIAS proteins also play a key role in double-stranded break DNA repair.[18] Exposure to UV light, chemicals, and ionizing radiation can cause DNA damage, and the most detrimental type of DNA damage is a double-stranded break.[18] PIAS1, PIAS3, and PIAS4 have been shown to recruit proteins to the site of the damage and promote repair.[18][19]

Additionally, PIAS proteins are important transcriptional co-regulators of the JAK/STAT signaling pathway. PIAS protein's interaction with STAT signaling requires tyrosine phosphorylation of STAT proteins[20] . Additionally, PIAS1 binds preferentially to un-methylated STAT1[20] . Although the exact mechanism isn’t clear, PIAS1 and PIASy both inhibit STAT-1 signaling.[2][21] PIAS3 was found to specifically inhibit STAT-3 signaling after stimulation by IL-6.[1]

Potential applications in disease treatment

Defects in the DNA repair system lead to a predisposition for developing cancer. At least some of the PIAS proteins are implicated in DNA repair, and specifically in enhancing repair of double-stranded breaks. In cell culture, overexpression of PIAS3 demonstrated an increase resistance of HeLa cells to ionizing radiation.[18] This indicates a significant role for PIAS3 in DNA repair.[18] Additionally, overexpression of PIAS3 inhibited human lung cancer cell growth in vitro and rendered cancer cells up to 12X more sensitive to chemotherapeutic drugs.[22] While inhibition of PIAS by siRNAs led cancer cells to accelerate cell proliferation and demonstrate higher levels of resistance to chemotherapy drugs. In a study of human brain tissue samples from glioblastoma multiforme patients, PIAS3 expression was found to be reduced compared to the control brain tissue.[23] Inhibition of PIAS3 resulted in increased glioblastoma propagation, while PIAS3 overexpression inhibited STAT-3 signaling and cell proliferation . Furthermore, patients with higher levels of BRCA1, PIAS1, and PIAS4 survived for a longer period of time in a retrospective study of advanced gastric cancer patients.[24]

Furthermore, continuous activation of the JAK-STAT pathway can cause cancer in humans as well as less complex organisms such as Drosophila [25]. Given the preliminary evidence and their effects on important signaling pathways involved in cancer, PIAS proteins may be interesting targets for the development of treatments for cancers or as sensitizers for chemotherapeutic drugs and radiation in BRCA-deficient cancers.[18][22]

In addition to its importance in various cancers, the JAK-STAT signaling pathway plays an important part in the human immune response and in particular with regards to adaptive immunity [26] . For example, STAT1 and STAT2 are essential factors in the cellular antiviral and adapative immune defenses[27] . PIAS proteins and other regulators are necessary for homeostasis and for fine tuning the immune response[28] . Furthermore, many of the 60 proteins that PIAS family is believe to interact with are immune regulatory factors[29] .
