Project description:Dpf2 is a subunit of the BAF/pBAF chromatin remodelling complex. We have used cross-linking affinity purification-mass spectrometry to explore Dpf2 protein interactions in mouse embryonic stem cells.

Project description:ChIP-seq experiments of 3xFlag-Dpf2, Oct4, Sox2 and several histone marks were performed in wild-type and Dpf2 -/- cells to investigate the effect of Dpf2 on the binding of those factors.
Project description:Lysine lactylation (Kla) is a new type of histone mark implicated in the regulation of various functional processes such as transcription. However, how this histone mark acts in cancers remains unexplored due in part to a lack of knowledge about its reader proteins. Here, we observe that cervical cancer (CC) cells undergo metabolic reprogram by which lactate accumulation and thereby boost histone lactylation, particularly H3K14la. Utilizing a multivalent photoaffinity probe in combination with quantitative proteomics approach, we identify DPF2 as a candidate target of H3K14la. Biochemical studies as well as CUT&Tag analysis reveal that DPF2 is capable of binding to H3K14la, and co-localizes with it on promoters of oncogenic genes. Notably, disrupting the association between DPF2 and histone lactylation through structure-guided mutation blunts those cancer-related gene expression along with cell survival. Together, our findings reveal DPF2 as a bona fide H3K14la effector that couples histone lactylation to gene transcription and cell survival, offering insight into how histone Kla engages in transcription and tumorigenesis.

Project description:ChIP-seq experiment for histone H3 and H3K4me3 from wild-type Saccharomyces cerevisiae (WT) and strains in which H3K14 has been substituted for alanine (K14A) or H3P16 has been substituted with valine (P16V).
