Halorubrum marinum sp. nov., Halorubrum rarum sp. nov., Halorubrum wangae sp. nov., Halorubrum shenae sp. nov., and Halorubrum zhoui sp. nov., halophilic archaea from coastal tidal flats, a saline lake, and a marine solar saltern.

Five novel halophilic archaeal strains, designated DTA46T, DTA98T, HHNYT27T, N11T, and SY-15T, were isolated from diverse saline environments across various regions of China. Amplicon and metagenome analyses revealed that three amplicon reads were affiliated with strains DTA46T, HHNYT27T, and N11T while two MAGs related to strains N11T and SY-15T. The sequence similarities among these five strains and current species of the genus Halorubrum were 93.1%-99.1% and 86.0%-95.9% judged by 16S rRNA and rpoB' genes, respectively. Phylogenomic and comparative genomic analyses revealed their close affiliation with Halorubrum. The average nucleotide identity (ANI), digital DNA-DNA hybridization (dDDH), and average amino acid identity (AAI) values between these strains and existing Halorubrum species ranged from 74.9%-93.6%, 22.3%-58.3%, and 68.3%-93.7%, respectively. All are below the recommended thresholds for species delineation, which supports their classification as novel taxa. The growth characteristics of strains DTA46T, DTA98T, HHNYT27T, N11T, and SY-15T were determined as follows: temperature range 20-60 °C (optima: 35, 37-42, 37, 35, and 42 °C), NaCl concentration 1.4-5.5 M (optima: 2.6, 3.1, 3.1, 3.1, and 5.1 M), and pH range 5.5-9.5 (optima: 8.0, 8.0, 7.0, 7.5, and 7.0). Based on the polyphasic characterization integrating phenotypic, chemotaxonomic, phylogenetic, and phylogenomic evidence, strains DTA46T, DTA98T, HHNYT27T, N11T, and SY-15T are proposed to represent five novel species of the genus Halorubrum, for which the names Halorubrum marinum sp. nov., Halorubrum rarum sp. nov., Halorubrum wangae sp. nov., Halorubrum shenae sp. nov., and Halorubrum zhoui sp. nov. are designated, respectively.

SETD8 inhibition targets cancer cells with increased rates of ribosome biogenesis.

SETD8 is a methyltransferase that is overexpressed in several cancers, which monomethylates H4K20 as well as other non-histone targets such as PCNA or p53. We here report novel SETD8 inhibitors, which were discovered while trying to identify chemicals that prevent 53BP1 foci formation, an event mediated by H4K20 methylation. Consistent with previous reports, SETD8 inhibitors induce p53 expression, although they are equally toxic for p53 proficient or deficient cells. Thermal stability proteomics revealed that the compounds had a particular impact on nucleoli, which was confirmed by fluorescent and electron microscopy. Similarly, Setd8 deletion generated nucleolar stress and impaired ribosome biogenesis, supporting that this was an on-target effect of SETD8 inhibitors. Furthermore, a genome-wide CRISPR screen identified an enrichment of nucleolar factors among those modulating the toxicity of SETD8 inhibitors. Accordingly, the toxicity of SETD8 inhibition correlated with MYC or mTOR activity, key regulators of ribosome biogenesis. Together, our study provides a new class of SETD8 inhibitors and a novel biomarker to identify tumors most likely to respond to this therapy.
