TRIP4 ASCH domain in unliganded form
Structural highlights
FunctionTRIP4_HUMAN Transcription coactivator of nuclear receptors which functions in conjunction with CBP-p300 and SRC-1 and may play an important role in establishing distinct coactivator complexes under different cellular conditions. Plays a pivotal role in the transactivation of NF-kappa-B, SRF and AP1. Acts as a mediator of transrepression between nuclear receptor and either AP1 or NF-kappa-B. Plays a role in androgen receptor transactivation and in testicular function (By similarity).[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedTRIP4 is a conserved transcriptional coactivator that is involved in the regulation of the expression of multiple genes. It consists of a classical N-terminal C2HC5-like zinc-finger domain and a conserved C-terminal ASCH domain. Here, we characterized the DNA-binding properties of the human TRIP4 ASCH domain. Our biochemical data show that TRIP4-ASCH has comparable binding affinities toward ssDNA and dsDNA of different lengths, sequences, and structures. The crystal structures reveal that TRIP4-ASCH binds to DNA substrates in a sequence-independent manner through two adjacent positively charged surface patches: one binds to the 5'-end of DNA, and the other binds to the 3'-end of DNA. Further mutagenesis experiments and binding assays confirm the functional roles of key residues involved in DNA binding. In summary, our data demonstrate that TRIP4-ASCH binds to the 5' and 3'-ends of DNA in a sequence-independent manner, which will facilitate further studies of the biological function of TRIP4. Biochemical and structural characterization of the DNA-binding properties of human TRIP4 ASCH domain reveals insights into its functional role.,Hu C, Chen Z, Wang G, Yang H, Ding J Structure. 2024 May 30:S0969-2126(24)00189-8. doi: 10.1016/j.str.2024.05.012.
