NMR solution structure of a C-terminal domain of the chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 1
Structural highlights
FunctionCHD1_HUMAN ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling factor which functions as substrate recognition component of the transcription regulatory histone acetylation (HAT) complex SAGA. Regulates polymerase II transcription. Also required for efficient transcription by RNA polymerase I, and more specifically the polymerase I transcription termination step. Regulates negatively DNA replication. Not only involved in transcription-related chromatin-remodeling, but also required to maintain a specific chromatin configuration across the genome. Is also associated with histone deacetylase (HDAC) activity (By similarity). Required for the bridging of SNF2, the FACT complex, the PAF complex as well as the U2 snRNP complex to H3K4me3. Functions to modulate the efficiency of pre-mRNA splicing in part through physical bridging of spliceosomal components to H3K4me3. Required for maintaining open chromatin and pluripotency in embryonic stem cells.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe packaging of eukaryotic DNA into nucleosomes, and the organisation of these nucleosomes into chromatin, plays a critical role in regulating all DNA-associated processes. Chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 1 (CHD1) is an ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling protein that is conserved throughout eukaryotes and has an ability to assemble and organise nucleosomes both in vitro and in vivo. This activity is involved in the regulation of transcription and is implicated in mammalian development and stem cell biology. CHD1 is classically depicted as possessing a pair of tandem chromodomains that directly precede a core catalytic helicase-like domain that is then followed by a SANT-SLIDE DNA-binding domain. Here, we have identified an additional conserved domain C-terminal to the SANT-SLIDE domain and determined its structure by multidimensional heteronuclear NMR spectroscopy. We have termed this domain the CHD1 helical C-terminal (CHCT) domain as it is comprised of five alpha-helices arranged in a variant helical bundle topology. CHCT has a conserved, positively charged surface and is able to bind DNA and nucleosomes. In addition, we have identified another group of proteins, the as yet uncharacterised C17orf64 proteins, as also containing a conserved CHCT domain. Our data provide new structural insights into the CHD1 enzyme family.
