Project description:KAT8 is a lysine acetyltransferase and is involved in multiple important biological processes including cancer. The well-known function of KAT8 is catalyzing acetylation on histone H4, which regulates gene expression and chromatin decompaction. Besides catalytic HAT domain, the function of Tudor-knot domain of KAT8 remains largely unclear. Here, we report a novel function of Tudor-knot domain in facilitates histone acetyltransferase activity on H4K16ac. One hot-spot cancer mutation on Tudor-knot domain of KAT8 inhibits its interaction with nucleosome and reduces H4K16ac level both in vitro and in cells without altering the chromatin occupancy. Interestingly, this Tudor-knot mutation does not influence acetylation activity of KAT8 on p53, a non-histone substrate, suggests the important function of KAT8 Tudor-knot domain in the substrate specific catalytic regulation.

Project description:BRPF1 (bromodomain PHD finger 1) is a core subunit of the MOZ histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex, critical for normal developmental programs and implicated in acute leukemias. BRPF1 contains a unique assembly of zinc fingers, termed a PZP domain, the physiological role of which remains unclear. Here, we elucidate the structure-function relationship of this novel epigenetic reader and detail the biological and mechanistic consequences of its interaction with nucleosomes. PZP has a globular architecture and forms a 2:1 stoichiometry complex with the nucleosome, bivalently interacting with histone H3 and DNA. This binding impacts the nucleosome dynamics, shifting the DNA unwrapping/rewrapping equilibrium toward the unwrapped state and increasing DNA accessibility. We demonstrate that the DNA-binding function of the BRPF1 PZP domain is required for the MOZ-BRPF1-ING5-hEaf6 HAT complex to be recruited to chromatin and to acetylate nucleosomal histones. Our findings reveal a novel link between chromatin dynamics and MOZ-mediated acetylation.

Project description:The histone lysine acetyltransferase TIP60 is the main enzyme that catalyzes histone H4 acetylation in cells. Domains on TIP60 regulate its enzymatic activity from different aspects. Here we use a CRISPR-Cas9 tiling screen to scan for essential domains on TIP60 protein and found that the Tudor-knot domain is essential for cell survival and intercellular H4 acetylation. We performed in-vitro biochemical assays and demonstrated Tudor-knot domain is not a histone reader. And deficiency of the Tudor-knot domain has mild effects on TIP60 intracellular localization, as well as the TIP60 complex’s constitution. But Tudor-knot deficiency significantly reduces TIP60 HAT activity both in vivo and in vitro. By comparing the catalytic efficiency of nucleosome substrate and histone octamer substrate, as well as TIP60 protein alone or TIP60 complex, we found the nucleosomal structure and other TIP60 complex components are required for Tudor-knot relative HAT activity regulation. We propose that the Tudor-knot domain function to increase nucleosome accessibility. Finally, we show that the Tudor-knot domain is required for TIP60-dependent transcription regulation. Altogether, our study reveals a mechanism that the Tudor-knot domain that regulates TIP60-dependent transcription through the regulation of TIP60 substrate catalytic efficiency.

Project description:The N-terminal tail of histone H4 is an indispensable mediator for inter-nucleosome interaction, which is required for chromatin fiber condensation. H4K16 acetylation (H4K16Ac) activates gene transcription by influencing both chromatin structure and interplay with nonhistone proteins. To understand the influence of H4K16Ac on inter-nucleosome interaction, we performed a simulation study for the H4 tail in the context of two nucleosomes in neighboring unit cells in the crystal structure. The binding conformation of H4 tail with/without K16Ac was sampled by replica exchange with solute tempering, and the free energy landscape was explored by metadynamics. The results indicate two important features of H4K16: 1) it is the first button to anchor the H4 tail on the adjacent nucleosome; and 2) it is the only acetylation site interacting with the acidic patch. H4K16Ac disrupts the electrostatic interactions of K16, weakens H4 tail-acidic patch binding, and significantly increases H4 tail conformation diversity. Our study suggests that H4K16Ac directly reduces the inter-nucleosome interaction mediated by the H4 tail, which might further encourage the binding of nonhistone proteins on the acidic patch.

Project description:The Tudor domain of human PHF1 recognizes trimethylated lysine 36 of histone H3 (H3K36me3). This interaction modulates the methyltransferase activity of the PRC2 complex and has a role in retention of PHF1 at DNA damage sites. We have previously determined the structural basis for the association of Tudor with a methylated histone peptide. Here we detail the molecular mechanism of binding of the Tudor domain to the H3KC36me3-nucleosome core particle (H3KC36me3-NCP). Using a combination of TROSY NMR and FRET, we show that Tudor concomitantly interacts with H3K36me3 and DNA. Binding of the PHF1 Tudor domain to the H3KC36me3-NCP stabilizes the nucleosome in a conformation in which the nucleosomal DNA is more accessible to DNA-binding regulatory proteins. Our data provide a mechanistic explanation for the consequence of reading of the active mark H3K36me3 by the PHF1 Tudor domain.
