Crystal structure of Sth1 bromodomain in complex with H3K14Ac
Structural highlights
Function[STH1_YEAST] Catalytic component of the chromatin structure-remodeling complex (RSC), which is involved in transcription regulation and nucleosome positioning. RSC is responsible for the transfer of a histone octamer from a nucleosome core particle to naked DNA. The reaction requires ATP and involves an activated RSC-nucleosome intermediate. Remodeling reaction also involves DNA translocation, DNA twist and conformational change. As a reconfigurer of centromeric and flanking nucleosomes, RSC complex is required both for proper kinetochore function in chromosome segregation and, via a PKC1-dependent signaling pathway, for organization of the cellular cytoskeleton. This subunit is the essential ATPase of the complex. It is a DNA translocase capable of nucleosome remodeling. Required for full expression of early meiotic genes. Essential for mitotic growth and repression of CHA1 expression. Also involved in G2 phase control.[1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] [8] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe Saccharomyces cerevisiae RSC (Remodel the Structure of Chromatin) complex is a chromatin-remodeling complex and plays essential roles in transcription regulation and DNA repair. The acetylation of H3 Lysine14 (H3K14Ac) enhances the RSC retention on nucleosomes and increases the remodeling activity of RSC. However, which RSC component recognizes H3K14Ac remains unclear. Here, we discovered that the bromodomain of the catalytic subunit Sth1 (Sth1BD) possessed the strongest affinity to H3K14Ac among all RSC bromodomains. The Sth1BD specifically recognized the K(Ac)PhiPhiR motif (Phi stands for any hydrophobic amino acid), including H3K14Ac and H4K20Ac. We determined the crystal structures of Sth1BD at 2.40 A resolution and Sth1BD-H3K14Ac complex at 1.40 A resolution. The extensive interfaces between Sth1BD and H36-21 facilitate the specific and robust binding of Sth1BD to H3K14Ac. Our studies provide insights into how the RSC complex recognizes H3K14Ac to orchestrate the crosstalk between histone acetylation and chromatin remodeling.
