Structure of LEDGF PWWP domain bound H3K36 methylated nucleosome
Structural highlights
Disease[PSIP1_HUMAN] Note=A chromosomal aberration involving PSIP1 is associated with pediatric acute myeloid leukemia (AML) with intermediate characteristics between M2-M3 French-American-British (FAB) subtypes. Translocation t(9;11)(p22;p15) with NUP98. The chimeric transcript is an in-frame fusion of NUP98 exon 8 to PSIP1/LEDGF exon 4. Function[H2B11_XENLA] Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. [PSIP1_HUMAN] Transcriptional coactivator involved in neuroepithelial stem cell differentiation and neurogenesis. Involved in particular in lens epithelial cell gene regulation and stress responses. May play an important role in lens epithelial to fiber cell terminal differentiation. May play a protective role during stress-induced apoptosis. Isoform 2 is a more general and stronger transcriptional coactivator. Isoform 2 may also act as an adapter to coordinate pre-mRNA splicing. Cellular cofactor for lentiviral integration.[1] [H4_XENLA] Core component of nucleosome. Nucleosomes wrap and compact DNA into chromatin, limiting DNA accessibility to the cellular machineries which require DNA as a template. Histones thereby play a central role in transcription regulation, DNA repair, DNA replication and chromosomal stability. DNA accessibility is regulated via a complex set of post-translational modifications of histones, also called histone code, and nucleosome remodeling. Publication Abstract from PubMedRecognition of histone-modified nucleosomes by specific reader domains underlies the regulation of chromatin-associated processes. Whereas structural studies revealed how reader domains bind modified histone peptides, it is unclear how reader domains interact with modified nucleosomes. Here, we report the cryo-electron microscopy structure of the PWWP reader domain of human transcriptional coactivator LEDGF in complex with an H3K36-methylated nucleosome at 3.2-A resolution. The structure reveals multivalent binding of the reader domain to the methylated histone tail and to both gyres of nucleosomal DNA, explaining the known cooperative interactions. The observed cross-gyre binding may contribute to nucleosome integrity during transcription. The structure also explains how human PWWP domain-containing proteins are recruited to H3K36-methylated regions of the genome for transcription, histone acetylation and methylation, and for DNA methylation and repair.
