Brd4 is required for recovery from antimicrotubule drug-induced mitotic arrest: preservation of acetylated chromatin 下载免费PDF全文
The mammalian bromodomain protein Brd4 interacts with mitotic chromosomes by binding to acetylated histone H3 and H4 and is thought to play a role in epigenetic memory. Mitotic cells are susceptible to antimicrotubule drugs. These drugs activate multiple response pathways and arrest cells at mitosis. We found that Brd4 was rapidly released from chromosomes upon treatment with antimicrotubule drugs, including the reversible agent nocodazole. Yet, when nocodazole was withdrawn, Brd4 was reloaded onto chromosomes, and cells proceeded to complete cell division. However, cells in which a Brd4 allele was disrupted (Brd4+/-), and expressing only half of the normal Brd4 levels, were defective in reloading Brd4 onto chromosomes. Consequently, Brd4+/- cells were impaired in their ability to recover from nocodazole-induced mitotic arrest: a large fraction of +/- cells failed to reach anaphase after drug withdrawal, and those that entered anaphase showed an increased frequency of abnormal chromosomal segregation. The reloading defect observed in Brd4+/- cells coincided with selective hypoacetylation of lysine residues on H3 and H4. The histone deacetylase inhibitor trichostatin A increased global histone acetylation and perturbed nocodazole-induced Brd4 unloading. Brd4 plays an integral part in a cellular response to drug-induced mitotic stress by preserving a properly acetylated chromatin status. 相似文献

Bromodomain protein Brd4 binds to GTPase-activating SPA-1, modulating its activity and subcellular localization 下载免费PDF全文

Brd4 is a mammalian protein that contains a double bromodomain. It binds to chromatin and regulates cell cycle progression at multiple stages. By immunopurification and mass spectrometry, we identified a Rap GTPase-activating protein (GAP), signal-induced proliferation-associated protein 1 (SPA-1), as a factor that interacts with Brd4. SPA-1 localizes to the cytoplasm and to a lesser degree in the nucleus, while Brd4 resides in the nucleus. Bifluorescence complementation revealed that Brd4 and SPA-1 interact with each other in the nucleus of living cells. Supporting the functional importance of the interaction, Brd4 enhanced Rap GAP activity of SPA-1. Furthermore ectopic expression of SPA-1 and Brd4 redirected subcellular localization of the partner and disrupted normal cell cycle progression. These effects were, however, reversed by coexpression of the two proteins, indicating that a proper balance between Brd4 and SPA-1 in G2 is required for cell division. This work reveals a novel link between Brd4 and a GTPase-dependent mitogenic signaling pathway. 相似文献
