SETD1A function is mediated through interaction with mitotic regulators BuGZ/BUB3 in leukemia [RNA-seq]
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The H3K4 methyltransferase SETD1A plays a crucial role in leukemia cell survival through its non-catalytic FLOS domain mediated recruitment of cyclin K and regulation of DNA damage response genes. In this study, we identify a functional nuclear localization signal and interaction partners for the FLOS domain. Our proteomics analysis against FLOS domain-binding partners reveals that the SETD1A FLOS domain binds mitosis-associated proteins BuGZ/BUB3. Targeted inhibition of both cyclin K and BuGZ/BUB3 binding motifs on SETD1A shows synergistic anti-leukemic effects. BuGZ/BUB3 localize to SETD1A-positive promoter-TSS regions and SETD1A-negative H3K4me1-positive enhancer regions adjacent to SETD1A-target genes. The GLEBS motif and intrinsically disordered region of BuGZ are required for both SETD1A binding and the leukemia cell proliferation. Despite the role of BuGZ/BUB3 at mitotic phase, the cell-cycle specific SETD1A restoration study indicates the roles of SETD1A at G1/S phase of cell cycle. Discovery of this complex indicates the indispensable role of the SETD1A-BuGZ axis in cancer.
