Structural highlights
DiseaseNSD2_HUMAN Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome. A chromosomal aberration involving WHSC1 is a cause of multiple myeloma tumors. Translocation t(4;14)(p16.3;q32.3) with IgH. WHSC1 is located in the Wolf-Hirschhorn syndrome (WHS) critical region. WHS results from by sub-telomeric deletions in the short arm of chromosome 4. WHSC1 is deleted in every case, however deletion of linked genes contributes to both the severity of the core characteristics and the presence of the additional syndromic problems. FunctionNSD2_HUMAN Histone methyltransferase with histone H3 'Lys-27' (H3K27me) methyltransferase activity. Isoform 2 may act as a transcription regulator that binds DNA and suppresses IL5 transcription through HDAC recruitment.[1] [2] [3] Publication Abstract from PubMedIncreased activity of the lysine methyltransferase NSD2 driven by translocation and activating mutations is associated with multiple myeloma and acute lymphoblastic leukemia, but no NSD2-targeting chemical probe has been reported to date. Here, we present the first antagonists that block the protein-protein interaction between the N-terminal PWWP domain of NSD2 and H3K36me2. Using virtual screening and experimental validation, we identified the small-molecule antagonist 3f, which binds to the NSD2-PWWP1 domain with a Kd of 3.4 muM and abrogates histone H3K36me2 binding to the PWWP1 domain in cells. This study establishes an alternative approach to targeting NSD2 and provides a small-molecule antagonist that can be further optimized into a chemical probe to better understand the cellular function of this protein.
