Non-histone chromosomal proteins. Evidence for their role in mediating the binding of histones to deoxyribonucleic acid during the cell cycle.

ABSTRACT: By selective dissociation of histones with the ionic detergent sodium deoxycholate, we have demonstrated that these basic chromosomal polypeptides, which are effective inhibitors of transcription, are more tenaciously bound to DNA in mitotic than in S-phase chromatin. Evidence is presented which suggests that cell-cycle-stage-specific non-histone chromosomal proteins can account for such variations in the association of histones with DNA. When chromatin is reconstituted with DNA and histones are pooled from S-phase and mitotic cells and either S-phase or mitotic non-histone chromosomal proteins, a preferential extraction of histones with sodium deoxycholate from chromatin reconstituted with S-phase rather than mitotic non-histone chromosomal proteins is observed. In contrast, the extractability of histones with sodium deoxycholate from nucleohistone complexes reconstituted with DNA pooled from S-phase and mitotic cells and either S-phase or mitotic histones is identical. Since non-histone chromosomal proteins rather than histones are responsible for the differences in chromatin template activity during S-phase and mitosis, we propose that non-histone chromosomal proteins may modify gene expression during the cell cycle by mediating the binding of histones to DNA.

Characterization and chromatin distribution of the H1 histones and high-mobility-group non-histone chromosomal proteins of trout liver and hepatocellular carcinoma.

Project description:The H1 histones serve as general repressors of gene expression by inducing the formation of a compact chromatin structure, whereas the high-mobility-group (HMG) non-histone chromosomal proteins have roles in maintaining the structure and function of transcriptionally active chromatin. The distribution of the H1 histone subtypes and HMG proteins among various trout tissues (liver, hepatocellular carcinoma, testis and erythrocyte) was determined. Histone H1b was present in the chromatin of liver, but not in the chromatin of hepatocellular carcinoma, testis or erythrocyte. Nuclease-resistant regions of liver chromatin had elevated levels of histone H1b. Histone H1b was isolated, and the N-terminal amino acid sequence of histone H1b was found to be highly similar to that of mammalian histone H1(0) and duck H5. HMG proteins T1, T2, T3, H6, C, D and F were associated with liver and hepatocellular-carcinoma chromatin, with hepatocellular carcinoma containing higher levels of HMG T1 and F. Testis and erythrocyte had HMG T2 and H6 as their predominant HMG proteins. Most of the HMG H6 of hepatocellular carcinoma, but not of liver, was located in a chromatin fraction that was soluble at physiological ionic strength and enriched in transcriptionally active DNA. These alterations in the chromatin distribution and content of hepatocyte HMG proteins and H1 histone subtypes may contribute to aberrant hepatocyte gene expression in the hepatocellular carcinoma.

A viral histone-like protein exploits antagonism between linker histones and HMGB proteins to obstruct the cell cycle.

Project description:Virus infection necessarily requires redirecting cellular resources toward viral progeny production. Adenovirus encodes the histone-like protein VII, which causes catastrophic global reorganization of host chromatin to promote virus infection. Protein VII recruits the family of high mobility group box (HMGB) proteins to chromatin along with the histone chaperone SET. As a consequence of this recruitment, we find that protein VII causes chromatin depletion of several linker histone H1 isoforms. The relationship between linker histone H1 and the functionally opposite HMGB proteins is critical for higher-order chromatin structure. However, the physiological consequences of perturbing this relationship are largely unknown. Here, we employ complementary systems in Saccharomyces cerevisiae and human cells to demonstrate that adenovirus protein VII disrupts the H1-HMGB balance to obstruct the cell cycle. We find that protein VII causes an accumulation of G2/M cells both in yeast and human systems, underscoring the high conservation of this chromatin vulnerability. In contrast, adenovirus E1A and E1B proteins are well established to override cell cycle regulation and promote transformation of human cells. Strikingly, we find that protein VII obstructs the cell cycle, even in the presence of E1A and E1B. We further show that, in a protein-VII-deleted infection, several cell cycle markers are regulated differently compared to wild-type infection, supporting our model that protein VII plays an integral role in hijacking cell cycle regulation during infection. Together, our results demonstrate that protein VII targets H1-HMGB1 antagonism to obstruct cell cycle progression, revealing an unexpected chromatin vulnerability exploited for viral benefit.

Histone acetyltransferase 1 is a succinyltransferase for histones and non-histones and promotes tumorigenesis.

Project description:Lysine succinylation (Ksucc) is an evolutionarily conserved and widespread post-translational modification. Histone acetyltransferase 1 (HAT1) is a type B histone acetyltransferase, regulating the acetylation of both histone and non-histone proteins. However, the role of HAT1 in succinylation modulation remains unclear. Here, we employ a quantitative proteomics approach to study succinylation in HepG2 cancer cells and find that HAT1 modulates lysine succinylation on various proteins including histones and non-histones. HAT1 succinylates histone H3 on K122, contributing to epigenetic regulation and gene expression in cancer cells. Moreover, HAT1 catalyzes the succinylation of PGAM1 on K99, resulting in its increased enzymatic activity and the stimulation of glycolytic flux in cancer cells. Clinically, HAT1 is significantly elevated in liver cancer, pancreatic cancer, and cholangiocarcinoma tissues. Functionally, HAT1 succinyltransferase activity and the succinylation of PGAM1 by HAT1 play critical roles in promoting tumor progression in vitro and in vivo. Thus, we conclude that HAT1 is a succinyltransferase for histones and non-histones in tumorigenesis.

The Histone Database: an integrated resource for histones and histone fold-containing proteins.

Project description:Eukaryotic chromatin is composed of DNA and protein components-core histones-that act to compactly pack the DNA into nucleosomes, the fundamental building blocks of chromatin. These nucleosomes are connected to adjacent nucleosomes by linker histones. Nucleosomes are highly dynamic and, through various core histone post-translational modifications and incorporation of diverse histone variants, can serve as epigenetic marks to control processes such as gene expression and recombination. The Histone Sequence Database is a curated collection of sequences and structures of histones and non-histone proteins containing histone folds, assembled from major public databases. Here, we report a substantial increase in the number of sequences and taxonomic coverage for histone and histone fold-containing proteins available in the database. Additionally, the database now contains an expanded dataset that includes archaeal histone sequences. The database also provides comprehensive multiple sequence alignments for each of the four core histones (H2A, H2B, H3 and H4), the linker histones (H1/H5) and the archaeal histones. The database also includes current information on solved histone fold-containing structures. The Histone Sequence Database is an inclusive resource for the analysis of chromatin structure and function focused on histones and histone fold-containing proteins.

The histone database: a comprehensive WWW resource for histones and histone fold-containing proteins.

Project description:The Histone Database (HDB) is an annotated and searchable collection of all full-length sequences and structures of histone and non-histone proteins containing the histone fold motif. These sequences are both eukaryotic and archaeal in origin. Several new histone fold-containing proteins have been identified, including Spt7p, and a few false positives have been removed from the earlier version of HDB. Database contents include compilations of post-translational modifications for each of the core and linker histones, as well as genomic information in the form of map loci for the human histone gene complement, with the genetic loci linked to Online Mendelian Inheritance in Man (OMIM). Conflicts between similar sequence entries from a number of source databases are also documented. Newly added to the HDB are multiple sequence alignments in which predicted functions of histone fold amino acid residues are annotated. The database is freely accessible through the WWW at http://genome.nhgri.nih.gov/histones/

Functional Diversity of Non-Histone Chromosomal Protein HmgB1.

Project description:The functioning of DNA in the cell nucleus is ensured by a multitude of proteins, whose interactions with DNA as well as with other proteins lead to the formation of a complicated, organized, and quite dynamic system known as chromatin. This review is devoted to the description of properties and structure of the progenitors of the most abundant non-histone protein of the HMGB family-the HmgB1 protein. The proteins of the HMGB family are also known as "architectural factors" of chromatin, which play an important role in gene expression, transcription, DNA replication, and repair. However, as soon as HmgB1 goes outside the nucleus, it acquires completely different functions, post-translational modifications, and change of its redox state. Despite a lot of evidence of the functional activity of HmgB1, there are still many issues to be solved related to the mechanisms of the influence of HmgB1 on the development and treatment of different diseases-from oncological and cardiovascular diseases to pathologies during pregnancy and childbirth. Here, we describe molecular structure of the HmgB1 protein and discuss general mechanisms of its interactions with other proteins and DNA in cell.

Histones and non-histone proteins are acetylated without ongoing transcription

Project description:The acetylation of multiple histone lysine residues in all eukaryotes is known to be associated with transcription activation. However, the causal relationship between histone acetylation and transcription remains a topic of debate. One hypothesis proposes that transcription plays a role in recruiting and activating acetyltransferases, resulting in histone acetylation as a consequence of ongoing transcription. Nevertheless, the extent to which transcription influences the overall acetylation patterns across the genome remains uncertain. This study aims to shed light on this matter by investigating the impact of acute transcription inhibition on global protein acetylation. Surprisingly, the findings demonstrate that global protein acetylation levels remain largely unaffected even after inhibiting transcription. While transcription inhibition leads to the cessation of co-transcriptional ubiquitylation of H2BK120, histone acetylation persists. This suggests that histone acetylation is not solely dependent on transcriptional activity. Moreover, the study delves deeper into the relationship between transcription and acetyltransferase activity. By jointly inhibiting transcription and CBP/p300 it was observed that acetyltransferases remained active and continued to acetylate histones independently of inhibited transcription. Collectively, these results challenge the idea that histone acetylation is merely a consequence of transcription. Instead, they indicate that acetyltransferase recruitment and activation are not directly coupled to the process of transcription. Furthermore, the acetylation of both histone and non-histone proteins persists even in the absence of ongoing transcription. This highlights the complexity of histone acetylation regulation and suggests that it may not be solely dictated by the presence or absence of transcriptional activity.

Protein arginine methylation of non-histone proteins and its role in diseases.

Project description:Protein arginine methyltransferases (PRMTs) are a family of enzymes that can methylate arginine residues on histones and other proteins. PRMTs play a crucial role in influencing various cellular functions, including cellular development and tumorigenesis. Arginine methylation by PRMTs is found on both nuclear and cytoplasmic proteins. Recently, there is increasing evidence regarding post-translational modifications of non-histone proteins by PRMTs, illustrating the previously unknown importance of PRMTs in the regulation of various cellular functions by post-translational modifications. In this review, we present the recent developments in the regulation of non-histone proteins by PRMTs.

Studies on the tissue specificity of the high-mobility-group non-histone chromosomal proteins from calf.

Project description:The high-mobility-group (HMG) non-histone chromosomal proteins from calf thymus, liver, spleen and kidney were extracted, and fractionated by CM-Sephadex chromatography and trichloroacetic acid precipitation. The isolated proteins HMG 1, HMG 2 and HMG 17 from the tissues were compared by polyacrylamide-gel electrophoresis, isoelectric focusing and amino acid analysis. The results show that the three proteins are very similar in the tissues studied, implying a lack of tissue specificity.
