Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) is a small non-histone chromosomal protein known as a dominant suppressor of position-effect variegation and a major component of heterochromatin. Posttranslationally modified HP1, through interaction with protein partners from different groups, can be involved in a number of nuclear processes, including gene activation, chromatin remodeling, replication and DNA repair. Using bimolecular fluorescence complementation assay and live cell imaging, we demonstrate that HP1β and PCNA, a key player in DNA replication, are closely spaced components of a multiprotein complex involved in replication, both in S phase and during DNA repair, and that the functional complex requires formation of an HP1 dimer. 相似文献

Immunological characterization of chromatin assembly factor I, a human cell factor required for chromatin assembly during DNA replication in vitro 总被引:10,自引:0,他引:10
Chromatin assembly factor I (CAF-I) is a multisubunit protein complex purified from the nuclei of human cells and required for chromatin assembly during DNA replication in vitro. Purified CAF-I promotes chromatin assembly in a reaction that is dependent upon, and coupled with, DNA replication and is therefore likely to reflect events that occur during S phase in vivo. In order to investigate the regulation and mechanism of CAF-I and the replication-dependent chromatin assembly process, we have used the purified protein to raise monoclonal antibodies. In this report we describe the characterization of a panel of monoclonal antibodies which recognize different subunits of the CAF-I complex. We use immunoprecipitation analysis to show that CAF-I exists as a multiprotein complex in vivo and that some of the polypeptides are phosphorylated. In addition, immunocytochemistry demonstrates that CAF-I is localized to the nucleus of human cells. Finally, monoclonal antibodies directed against the individual subunits of CAF-I immunodeplete chromatin assembly activity from nuclear extracts, confirming that CAF-I is a multisubunit protein required for chromatin assembly in vitro. 相似文献

Chromatin and cell death 总被引:8,自引:0,他引:8
HMGB1, a very mobile chromatin protein, leaks out from necrotic cells and signals to neighbouring cells that tissue damage has occurred. At least one receptor for extracellular HMGB1 exists, and signals to different cells to divide, migrate, activate inflammation or start an immune response. Remarkably, apoptotic chromatin binds HMGB1 irreversibly, thereby ensuring that it will not diffuse away to activate responses from neighbouring cells. Thus, dying cells use their own chromatin to signal how they have died. We argue that the nuclear events in apoptosis serve to control the molecular signals that dying cells send out. 相似文献

The acidic protein prothymosin alpha (ProTalpha), with a broad presence in mammalian cells, has been widely considered to have a role in cell division, through an unrevealed mechanism in which histones may be involved in view of their ability to interact with ProTalpha in vitro. Results of co-immunoprecipitation experiments presented here demonstrate that ProTalpha interacts in vivo with core histones in proliferating B-lymphocytes (NC-37 cells). This interaction occurs with histones H3, H2A, H2B and H4 located free in the nucleoplasm, whereas no interaction was detected with histone H1, mono-nucleosome particles or chromatin. Moreover, the core histones form part of a nuclear multiprotein complex of about 700 kDa separated by ProTalpha-Sepharose affinity, with components including H3 and H4 acetyltranferases, H3 methyltransferases, hnRNP isotypes A3, A2/B1 and R, ATP-dependent and independent DNA helicases II, beta-actin and vimentin, all co-purifying by gel filtration. This indicates that the interaction of ProTalpha with core histones in the nucleus may be related to the structural modification of histones H3 and H4, and hence to chromatin activity, raising the possibility that the other proteins in the nuclear complex may play a role in this process. 相似文献

Nuclear events such as chromatin condensation, DNA cleavage at internucleosomal sites, and histone release from chromatin are recognized as hallmarks of apoptosis. However, there is no complete understanding of the molecular events underlying these changes. It is likely that epigenetic changes such as DNA methylation and histone modifications that are involved in chromatin dynamics and structure are also involved in the nuclear events described. In this report we have shown that apoptosis is associated with global DNA hypomethylation and histone deacetylation events in leukemia cells. Most importantly, we have observed a particular epigenetic signature for early apoptosis defined by a release of hypoacetylated and trimethylated histone H4 and internucleosomal fragmented DNA that is hypermethylated and originates from perinuclear heterochromatin. These findings provide one of the first links between apoptotic nuclear events and epigenetic markers. 相似文献

Role for Cdk1 (Cdc2)/cyclin A in preventing the mammalian origin recognition complex's largest subunit (Orc1) from binding to chromatin during mitosis 总被引:7,自引:0,他引:7

The eukaryotic origin recognition complex (ORC) selects the genomic sites where prereplication complexes are assembled and DNA replication begins. In proliferating mammalian cells, ORC activity appears to be regulated by reducing the affinity of the Orc1 subunit for chromatin during S phase and then preventing reformation of a stable ORC-chromatin complex until mitosis is completed and a nuclear membrane is assembled. Here we show that part of the mechanism by which this is accomplished is the selective association of Orc1 with Cdk1 (Cdc2)/cyclin A during the G(2)/M phase of cell division. This association accounted for the appearance in M-phase cells of hyperphosphorylated Orc1 that was subsequently dephosphorylated during the M-to-G(1) transition. Moreover, inhibition of Cdk activity in metaphase cells resulted in rapid binding of Orc1 to chromatin. However, chromatin binding was not mediated through increased affinity of Orc1 for Orc2, suggesting that additional events are involved in the assembly of functional ORC-chromatin sites. These results reveal that the same cyclin-dependent protein kinase that initiates mitosis in mammalian cells also concomitantly inhibits assembly of functional ORC-chromatin sites. 相似文献
