Structural basis for the regulation of nucleosome recognition and HDAC activity by histone deacetylase assemblies.

ABSTRACT: The chromatin-modifying histone deacetylases (HDACs) remove acetyl groups from acetyl-lysine residues in histone amino-terminal tails, thereby mediating transcriptional repression. Structural makeup and mechanisms by which multisubunit HDAC complexes recognize nucleosomes remain elusive. Our cryo-electron microscopy structures of the yeast class II HDAC ensembles show that the HDAC protomer comprises a triangle-shaped assembly of stoichiometry Hda1₂-Hda2-Hda3, in which the active sites of the Hda1 dimer are freely accessible. We also observe a tetramer of protomers, where the nucleosome binding modules are inaccessible. Structural analysis of the nucleosome-bound complexes indicates how positioning of Hda1 adjacent to histone H2B affords HDAC catalysis. Moreover, it reveals how an intricate network of multiple contacts between a dimer of protomers and the nucleosome creates a platform for expansion of the HDAC activities. Our study provides comprehensive insight into the structural plasticity of the HDAC complex and its functional mechanism of chromatin modification.

Structural basis of nucleosome deacetylation and DNA linker tightening by Rpd3S histone deacetylase complex.

Project description:In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, cryptic transcription at the coding region is prevented by the activity of Sin3 histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex Rpd3S, which is carried by the transcribing RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) to deacetylate and stabilize chromatin. Despite its fundamental importance, the mechanisms by which Rpd3S deacetylates nucleosomes and regulates chromatin dynamics remain elusive. Here, we determined several cryo-EM structures of Rpd3S in complex with nucleosome core particles (NCPs), including the H3/H4 deacetylation states, the alternative deacetylation state, the linker tightening state, and a state in which Rpd3S co-exists with the Hho1 linker histone on NCP. These structures suggest that Rpd3S utilizes a conserved Sin3 basic surface to navigate through the nucleosomal DNA, guided by its interactions with H3K36 methylation and the extra-nucleosomal DNA linkers, to target acetylated H3K9 and sample other histone tails. Furthermore, our structures illustrate that Rpd3S reconfigures the DNA linkers and acts in concert with Hho1 to engage the NCP, potentially unraveling how Rpd3S and Hho1 work in tandem for gene silencing.

Structural basis for the recognition of methylated histone H3K36 by the Eaf3 subunit of histone deacetylase complex Rpd3S.

Project description:Deacetylation of nucleosomes by the Rpd3S histone deacetylase along the path of transcribing RNA polymerase II regulates access to DNA, contributing to faithful gene transcription. The association of Rpd3S with chromatin requires its Eaf3 subunit, which binds histone H3 methylated at lysine 36 (H3K36). Eaf3 is also part of NuA4 acetyltransferase that recognizes methylated H3K4. Here we show that Eaf3 in Saccharomyces cerevisiae contains a chromo barrel-related domain that binds methylated peptides, including H3K36 and H3K4, with low specificity and millimolar-range affinity. Nuclear magnetic resonance structure determination of Eaf3 bound to methylated H3K36 was accomplished by engineering a linked Eaf3-H3K36 molecule with a chemically incorporated methyllysine analog. Our study uncovers the molecular details of Eaf3-methylated H3K36 complex formation, and suggests that, in the cell, Eaf3 can only function within a framework of combinatorial interactions. This work also provides a general method for structure determination of low-affinity protein complexes implicated in methyllysine recognition.

Structural basis of recognition and destabilization of the histone H2B ubiquitinated nucleosome by the DOT1L histone H3 Lys79 methyltransferase.

Project description:DOT1L is a histone H3 Lys79 methyltransferase whose activity is stimulated by histone H2B Lys120 ubiquitination, suggesting cross-talk between histone H3 methylation and H2B ubiquitination. Here, we present cryo-EM structures of DOT1L complexes with unmodified or H2B ubiquitinated nucleosomes, showing that DOT1L recognizes H2B ubiquitin and the H2A/H2B acidic patch through a C-terminal hydrophobic helix and an arginine anchor in DOT1L, respectively. Furthermore, the structures combined with single-molecule FRET experiments show that H2B ubiquitination enhances a noncatalytic function of the DOT1L-destabilizing nucleosome. These results establish the molecular basis of the cross-talk between H2B ubiquitination and H3 Lys79 methylation as well as nucleosome destabilization by DOT1L.

Structural basis of paralog-specific KDM2A/B nucleosome recognition.

Project description:The nucleosome acidic patch is a major interaction hub for chromatin, providing a platform for enzymes to dock and orient for nucleosome-targeted activities. To define the molecular basis of acidic patch recognition proteome wide, we performed an amino acid resolution acidic patch interactome screen. We discovered that the histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36) demethylase KDM2A, but not its closely related paralog, KDM2B, requires the acidic patch for nucleosome binding. Despite fundamental roles in transcriptional repression in health and disease, the molecular mechanisms governing nucleosome substrate specificity of KDM2A/B, or any related JumonjiC (JmjC) domain lysine demethylase, remain unclear. We used a covalent conjugate between H3K36 and a demethylase inhibitor to solve cryogenic electron microscopy structures of KDM2A and KDM2B trapped in action on a nucleosome substrate. Our structures show that KDM2-nucleosome binding is paralog specific and facilitated by dynamic nucleosomal DNA unwrapping and histone charge shielding that mobilize the H3K36 sequence for demethylation.

Structural basis of telomeric nucleosome recognition by shelterin factor TRF1.

Project description:Shelterin and nucleosomes are the key players that organize mammalian chromosome ends into the protective telomere caps. However, how they interact with each other at telomeres remains unknown. We report cryo-electron microscopy structures of a human telomeric nucleosome both unbound and bound to the shelterin factor TRF1. Our structures reveal that TRF1 binds unwrapped nucleosomal DNA ends by engaging both the nucleosomal DNA and the histone octamer. Unexpectedly, TRF1 binding shifts the register of the nucleosomal DNA by 1 bp. We discovered that phosphorylation of the TRF1 C terminus and a noncanomical DNA binding surface on TRF1 are critical for its association with telomeric nucleosomes. These insights into shelterin-chromatin interactions have crucial implications for understanding telomeric chromatin organization and other roles of shelterin at telomeres including replication and transcription.

Structural basis for COMPASS recognition of an H2B-ubiquitinated nucleosome.

Project description:Methylation of histone H3K4 is a hallmark of actively transcribed genes that depends on mono-ubiquitination of histone H2B (H2B-Ub). H3K4 methylation in yeast is catalyzed by Set1, the methyltransferase subunit of COMPASS. We report here the cryo-EM structure of a six-protein core COMPASS subcomplex, which can methylate H3K4 and be stimulated by H2B-Ub, bound to a ubiquitinated nucleosome. Our structure shows that COMPASS spans the face of the nucleosome, recognizing ubiquitin on one face of the nucleosome and methylating H3 on the opposing face. As compared to the structure of the isolated core complex, Set1 undergoes multiple structural rearrangements to cement interactions with the nucleosome and with ubiquitin. The critical Set1 RxxxRR motif adopts a helix that mediates bridging contacts between the nucleosome, ubiquitin and COMPASS. The structure provides a framework for understanding mechanisms of trans-histone cross-talk and the dynamic role of H2B ubiquitination in stimulating histone methylation.

Structural Basis for Recognition of Ubiquitylated Nucleosome by Dot1L Methyltransferase.

Project description:Histone H3 lysine 79 (H3K79) methylation is enriched on actively transcribed genes, and its misregulation is a hallmark of leukemia. Methylation of H3K79, which resides on the structured disk face of the nucleosome, is mediated by the Dot1L methyltransferase. Dot1L activity is part of a trans-histone crosstalk pathway, requiring prior histone H2B ubiquitylation of lysine 120 (H2BK120ub) for optimal activity. However, the molecular details describing both how Dot1L binds to the nucleosome and why Dot1L is activated by H2BK120 ubiquitylation are unknown. Here, we present the cryoelectron microscopy (cryo-EM) structure of Dot1L bound to a nucleosome reconstituted with site-specifically ubiquitylated H2BK120. The structure reveals that Dot1L engages the nucleosome acidic patch using a variant arginine anchor and occupies a conformation poised for methylation. In this conformation, Dot1L and ubiquitin interact directly through complementary hydrophobic surfaces. This study establishes a path to better understand Dot1L function in normal and leukemia cells.

Project description:The nucleosome acidic patch is a major interaction hub for chromatin, providing a platform for enzymes to dock and orient for nucleosome-targeted activities. In order to define the molecular basis of acidic patch recognition proteome-wide, we performed an amino acid resolution acidic patch interactome screen. We discovered that the histone H3 lysine 36 (H3K36) demethylase KDM2A, but not its closely related paralog, KDM2B, requires the acidic patch for nucleosome binding. These KDM2 family JumonjiC (JmjC) domain lysine demethylases are critical to heterochromatin formation and are commonly misregulated in cancer. Despite fundamental roles in transcriptional regulation in health and disease, the molecular mechanisms governing nucleosome substrate specificity of KDM2A/B, or any other JmjC lysine demethylases, remain unclear. We used a covalent JmjC inhibitor to solve cryo-EM structures of KDM2A and KDM2B trapped in action on the nucleosome. Our structures show that KDM2-nucleosome binding is paralog-specific and facilitated by dynamic nucleosomal DNA unwrapping and histone charge shielding that mobilize the H3K36 sequence for demethylation.

Structural basis of histone H4 recognition by p55.

Project description:p55 is a common component of many chromatin-modifying complexes and has been shown to bind to histones. Here, we present a crystal structure of Drosophila p55 bound to a histone H4 peptide. p55, a predicted WD40 repeat protein, recognizes the first helix of histone H4 via a binding pocket located on the side of a beta-propeller structure. The pocket cannot accommodate the histone fold of H4, which must be altered to allow p55 binding. Reconstitution experiments show that the binding pocket is important to the function of p55-containing complexes. These data demonstrate that WD40 repeat proteins use various surfaces to direct the modification of histones.
