Numerous nuclear proteins bind to chromatin by targeting unique DNA sequences or specific histone modifications. In contrast, HMGN proteins recognize the generic structure of the 147-bp nucleosome core particle. HMGNs alter the structure and activity of chromatin by binding to nucleosomes; however, the determinants of the specific interaction of HMGNs with chromatin are not known. Here we use systematic mutagenesis, quantitative fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, fluorescence imaging, and mobility shift assays to identify the determinants important for the specific binding of these proteins to both the chromatin of living cells and to purified nucleosomes. We find that several regions of the protein affect the affinity of HMGNs to chromatin; however, the conserved sequence RRSARLSA, is the sole determinant of the specific interaction of HMGNs with nucleosomes. Within this sequence, each of the 4 amino acids in the R-S-RL motif are the only residues absolutely essential for anchoring HMGN protein to nucleosomes, both in vivo and in vitro. Our studies identify a new chromatin-binding module that specifically recognizes nucleosome cores independently of DNA sequence or histone tail modifications. 相似文献

Genomic DNA in eukaryotes is organized into chromatin through association with core histone proteins to form nucleosomes. To understand the structure and function of chromatin, we must determine the structures of nucleosomes containing native DNA sequences. However, to date, our knowledge of nucleosome structures is mainly based on the crystallographic studies of the nucleosomes containing non-native DNA sequences. Here, we discuss the technical issues related to the determination of the nucleosome structures and review the few structural studies on native-like nucleosomes. We show how an antibody fragment-aided single-particle cryo-EM can be a useful method to determine the structures of nucleosomes containing genomic DNA. Finally, we provide a perspective for future structural studies of some native-like nucleosomes that play critical roles in chromatin functions. 相似文献
