Solution structure of ZZZ3 ZZ domain in complex with histone H3 tail
Structural highlights
Function[ZZZ3_HUMAN] Component of the ATAC complex, a complex with histone acetyltransferase activity on histones H3 and H4.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedRecognition of histones by epigenetic readers is a fundamental mechanism for the regulation of chromatin and transcription. Most reader modules target specific post-translational modifications on histones. Here, we report the identification of a reader of histone H3, the ZZ-type zinc finger (ZZ) domain of ZZZ3, a subunit of the Ada-two-A-containing (ATAC) histone acetyltransferase complex. The solution NMR structure of the ZZ in complex with the H3 peptide reveals a unique binding mechanism involving caging of the N-terminal Alanine 1 of histone H3 in an acidic cavity of the ZZ domain, indicating a specific recognition of H3 versus other histones. Depletion of ZZZ3 or disruption of the ZZ-H3 interaction dampens ATAC-dependent promoter histone H3K9 acetylation and target gene expression. Overall, our study identifies the ZZ domain of ZZZ3 as a histone H3 reader that is required for the ATAC complex-mediated maintenance of histone acetylation and gene activation. The ZZ-type zinc finger of ZZZ3 modulates the ATAC complex-mediated histone acetylation and gene activation.,Mi W, Zhang Y, Lyu J, Wang X, Tong Q, Peng D, Xue Y, Tencer AH, Wen H, Li W, Kutateladze TG, Shi X Nat Commun. 2018 Sep 14;9(1):3759. doi: 10.1038/s41467-018-06247-5.
