Localization of the chromosomal passenger complex (CPC) at centromeres during early mitosis is essential for accurate chromosome segregation and is dependent on the phosphorylation of histone H3. We report the 2.7 ? resolution structure of the CPC subunit Survivin bound to the N-terminal tail of histone H3 carrying the Thr3 phosphorylation mark (Thr3ph). The BIR domain of Survivin recognizes the Ala1-Arg2-Thr3ph-Lys4 sequence, decoding the modification state and the free N terminus of histone H3 by a strategy similar to that used by PHD fingers. The structural analysis permitted the identification of putative Survivin-binding epitopes in other mitotic proteins, including human Shugoshin 1. Using biophysical and structural data, we show that a phospho-mimic N-terminal sequence such as that of hSgo1 (Ala1-Lys2-Glu3-Arg4) contains the specificity determinants to bind Survivin. Our findings suggest that the CPC engages in mutually exclusive interactions with other constituents of the mitotic machinery and a histone mark in chromatin. 相似文献

Histone recognition constitutes a key epigenetic mechanism in gene regulation and cell fate decision. PHF14 is a conserved multi-PHD finger protein that has been implicated in organ development, tissue homeostasis, and tumorigenesis. Here we show that PHF14 reads unmodified histone H3(1–34) through an integrated PHD1-ZnK-PHD2 cassette (PHF14PZP). Our binding, structural and HDX-MS analyses revealed a feature of bipartite recognition, in which PHF14PZP utilizes two distinct surfaces for concurrent yet separable engagement of segments H3-Nter (e.g. 1–15) and H3-middle (e.g. 14–34) of H3(1–34). Structural studies revealed a novel histone H3 binding mode by PHD1 of PHF14PZP, in which a PHF14-unique insertion loop but not the core β-strands of a PHD finger dominates H3K4 readout. Binding studies showed that H3-PHF14PZP engagement is sensitive to modifications occurring to H3 R2, T3, K4, R8 and K23 but not K9 and K27, suggesting multiple layers of modification switch. Collectively, our work calls attention to PHF14 as a ‘ground’ state (unmodified) H3(1–34) reader that can be negatively regulated by active marks, thus providing molecular insights into a repressive function of PHF14 and its derepression. 相似文献

Survivin, a subunit of the chromosome passenger complex (CPC), binds the N-terminal tail of histone H3, which is phosphorylated on T3 by Haspin kinase, and localizes the complex to the inner centromeres. We used x-ray crystallography to determine the residues of Survivin that are important in binding phosphomodified histone H3. Mutation of amino acids that interact with the histone N-terminus lowered in vitro tail binding affinity and reduced CPC recruitment to the inner centromere in cells, validating our solved structures. Phylogenetic analysis shows that nonmammalian vertebrates have two Survivin paralogues, which we name class A and B. A distinguishing feature of these paralogues is an H-to-R change in an amino acid that interacts with the histone T3 phosphate. The binding to histone tails of the human class A paralogue, which has a histidine at this position, is sensitive to changes around physiological pH, whereas Xenopus Survivin class B is less so. Our data demonstrate that Survivin paralogues have different characteristics of phosphospecific binding to threonine-3 of histone H3, providing new insight into the biology of the inner centromere. 相似文献

Centromeres are chromosomal loci marked by histone variant Cen H3(centromeric histone H3) and essential for genomic stability and cell division. The budding yeast E3 ubiquitin ligase Psh1 selectively recognizes the yeast Cen H3(Cse4) for ubiquitination and controls the cellular level of Cse4 for proteolysis,but the underlying mechanism remains largely unknown. Here, we show that Psh1 uses a Cse4-binding domain(CBD, residues 1-211) to interact with Cse4-H4 instead of H3-H4, yielding a dissociation constant(K_d) of 27 nM. Psh1 recognizes Cse4-specific residues in the L1 loop and a2 helix to ensure Cse4 binding and ubiquitination. We map the Psh1-binding region of Cse4-H4 and identify a wide range of Cse4-specific residues required for the Psh1-mediated Cse4 recognition and ubiquitination. Further analyses reveal that histone chaperone Scm3 can impair Cse4 ubiquitination by abrogating Psh1-Cse4 binding. Together, our study reveals a novel Cse4-binding mode distinct from those of known Cen H3 chaperones and elucidates the mechanism by which Scm3 competes with Psh1 for Cse4 binding. 相似文献

The structural basis for histone recognition by the histone chaperone nuclear autoantigenic sperm protein (NASP) remains largely unclear. Here, we showed that Arabidopsis thaliana AtNASP is a monomer and displays robust nucleosome assembly activity in vitro. Examining the structure of AtNASP complexed with a histone H3 α3 peptide revealed a binding mode that is conserved in human NASP. AtNASP recognizes the H3 N-terminal region distinct from human NASP. Moreover, AtNASP forms a co-chaperone complex with ANTI-SILENCING FUNCTION 1 (ASF1) by binding to the H3 N-terminal region. Therefore, we deciphered the structure of AtNASP and the basis of the AtNASP–H3 interaction. 相似文献

The interaction between box C/D small nucleolar (sno)RNAs and the 15.5K protein nucleates snoRNP assembly. Many eukaryotic snoRNAs contain two potential binding sites for this protein, only one of which appears to be utilized in vivo. The binding site conforms to the consensus for a kink-turn motif. We have investigated the molecular basis for selection of one potential site over the other using in vitro mobility shift assays and nucleotide analog interference mapping of Xenopus U25 snoRNA and of a circularly permuted form. We find that preferential binding of human 15.5K is not dependent on the proximity of RNA ends, but instead appears to require a structural context beyond the kink-turn itself. Direct analysis of the energetic contributions to binding made by 18 functional groups within the kink-turn identified both backbone atoms and base functionalities as key for interaction. An intramolecular RNA-RNA contact via a 2'-hydroxyl may supercede a putative Type I A-minor interaction in stabilizing the RNA-protein complex. 相似文献

14-3-3 proteins are important dimeric scaffolds that regulate the function of hundreds of proteins in a phosphorylation-dependent manner. The SARS-CoV-2 nucleocapsid (N) protein forms a complex with human 14-3-3 proteins upon phosphorylation, which has also been described for other coronaviruses. Here, we report a high-resolution crystal structure of 14-3-3 bound to an N phosphopeptide bearing the phosphoserine 197 in the middle. The structure revealed two copies of the N phosphopeptide bound, each in the central binding groove of each 14-3-3 monomer. A complex network of hydrogen bonds and water bridges between the peptide and 14-3-3 was observed explaining the high affinity of the N protein for 14-3-3 proteins. 相似文献

The functionality of the actin cytoskeleton depends on a dynamic equilibrium between filamentous and monomeric actin. Proteins of the ADF/cofilin family are essential for the high rates of actin filament turnover observed in motile cells through regulation of actin polymerization/depolymerization cycles. Rho GTPases act through p21-activated kinase-1 (Pak-1) and Rho kinase to inhibit cofilin activity via the LIM kinase (LIMK)-mediated phosphorylation of cofilin on Ser3. We report the identification of 14-3-3zeta as a novel phosphocofilin binding protein involved in the maintenance of the cellular phosphocofilin pool. A Ser3 phosphocofilin binding protein was purified from bovine brain and was identified as 14-3-3zeta by mass spectrometry. The phosphorylation-dependent interaction between cofilin and 14-3-3zeta was confirmed in pulldown and coimmunoprecipitation experiments. Both Ser3 phosphorylation and a 14-3-3 recognition motif in cofilin are necessary for 14-3-3 binding. The expression of 14-3-3zeta increases phosphocofilin levels, and the coexpression of 14-3-3zeta with LIMK further elevates phosphocofilin levels and potentiates LIMK-dependent effects on the actin cytoskeleton. This potentiation of cofilin action appears to be a result of the protection of phosphocofilin from phosphatase-mediated dephosphorylation at Ser3 by bound 14-3-3zeta. Taken together, these results suggest that 14-3-3zeta proteins may play a dynamic role in the regulation of cellular actin structures through the maintenance of phosphocofilin levels. 相似文献

Histone methylation at specific lysine residues brings about various downstream events that are mediated by different effector proteins. The WD40 domain of WDR5 represents a new class of histone methyl-lysine recognition domains that is important for recruiting H3K4 methyltransferases to K4-dimethylated histone H3 tail as well as for global and gene-specific K4 trimethylation. Here we report the crystal structures of full-length WDR5, WDR5Delta23 and its complexes with unmodified, mono-, di- and trimethylated histone H3K4 peptides. The structures reveal that WDR5 is able to bind all of these histone H3 peptides, but only H3K4me2 peptide forms extra interactions with WDR5 by use of both water-mediated hydrogen bonding and the altered hydrophilicity of the modified lysine 4. We propose a mechanism for the involvement of WDR5 in binding and presenting histone H3K4 for further methylation as a component of MLL complexes. 相似文献

Arabidopsis LHP1 (LIKE HETEROCHROMATIN PROTEIN 1), a unique homolog of HP1 in Drosophila, plays important roles in plant development, growth, and architecture. In contrast to specific binding of the HP1 chromodomain to methylated H3K9 histone tails, the chromodomain of LHP1 has been shown to bind to both methylated H3K9 and H3K27 histone tails, and LHP1 carries out its function mainly via its interaction with these two epigenetic marks. However, the molecular mechanism for the recognition of methylated histone H3K9/27 by the LHP1 chromodomain is still unknown. In this study, we characterized the binding ability of LHP1 to histone H3K9 and H3K27 peptides and found that the chromodomain of LHP1 binds to histone H3K9me2/3 and H3K27me2/3 peptides with comparable affinities, although it exhibited no binding or weak binding to unmodified or monomethylated H3K9/K27 peptides. Our crystal structures of the LHP1 chromodomain in peptide-free and peptide-bound forms coupled with mutagenesis studies reveal that the chromodomain of LHP1 bears a slightly different chromodomain architecture and recognizes methylated H3K9 and H3K27 peptides via a hydrophobic clasp, similar to the chromodomains of human Polycomb proteins, which could not be explained only based on primary structure analysis. Our binding and structural studies of the LHP1 chromodomain illuminate a conserved ligand interaction mode between chromodomains of both animals and plants, and shed light on further functional study of the LHP1 protein. 相似文献

Yeast Ubp3 and its co-factor Bre5 form a deubiquitylation complex to regulate protein transport between the endoplasmic reticulum and Golgi compartments of the cell. A novel N-terminal domain of the Ubp3 catalytic subunit forms a complex with the NTF2-like domain of the Bre5 regulatory subunit. Here, we report the X-ray crystal structure of an Ubp3-Bre5 complex and show that it forms a symmetric hetero-tetrameric complex in which the Bre5 NTF2-like domain dimer interacts with two L-shaped beta-strand-turn-alpha-helix motifs of Ubp3. The Ubp3 N-terminal domain binds within a hydrophobic cavity on the surface of the Bre5 NTF2-like domain subunit with conserved residues within both proteins interacting predominantly through antiparallel beta-sheet hydrogen bonds and van der Waals contacts. Structure-based mutagenesis and functional studies confirm the significance of the observed interactions for Ubp3-Bre5 association in vitro and Ubp3 function in vivo. Comparison of the structure to other protein complexes with NTF2-like domains shows that the Ubp3-Bre5 interface is novel. Together, these studies provide new insights into Ubp3 recognition by Bre5 and into protein recognition by NTF2-like domains. 相似文献

In the simple metazoan Hydra a clear link between food supply and cell survival has been established. Whilst in plants 14-3-3 proteins are found to be involved in signalling cascades that regulate metabolism, in animals they have been shown to participate in cell survival pathways. In order to explore the possibility that 14-3-3 proteins in Hydra could be involved in regulating metabolism under different conditions of food supply, we have cloned two isoforms of 14-3-3 proteins. We show here that 14-3-3 proteins bind to phosphorylated targets in Hydra and form homo- and heterodimers in vitro. 14-3-3 proteins are localised in the cytoplasm of all cells and also in the nuclei of some epithelial cells. This nuclear localisation becomes more prominent during starvation. Moreover, 14-3-3 protein is present in large amounts in food granules and from this we conclude that it performs functions which are associated with metabolism and food storage in Hydra. 相似文献

Molecular recognition of histone H3 by the WD40 protein WDR5 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The WD40-repeat protein WDR5 is a conserved subunit of Trithorax (TRX) histone methyltransferase complexes. WDR5 has been reported to selectively bind dimethylated Lys4 (K4me2) in histone H3 to promote K4 trimethylation by TRX. To elucidate the basis of this binding specificity, we have determined the crystal structure of WDR5 bound to a histone H3 peptide bearing K4me2. The structure reveals that the N terminus of histone H3 binds as a 3(10)-helix in the central depression formed by the WD40 repeats. R2 in histone H3 is bound in the acidic channel in the protein's core, whereas K4me2 is solvent exposed and does not engage in direct interactions with WDR5. Functional studies confirm that WDR5 recognizes A1, R2 and T3 in histone H3 but has virtually identical affinities for the unmodified and mono-, di- and trimethylated forms of K4, demonstrating that it does not discriminate among different degrees of methylation of this residue. 相似文献

Diverse functions of 14-3-3 proteins are directly coupled to their ability to interact with targeted peptide substrates. RSX(pS/pT)XP and RXPhiX(pS/pT)XP are two canonical consensus binding motifs for 14-3-3 proteins representing the two common binding modes, modes I and II, between 14-3-3 and internal peptides. Using a genetic selection, we have screened a random peptide library and identified a group of C-terminal motifs, termed SWTY, capable of overriding an endoplasmic reticulum localization signal and redirecting membrane proteins to cell surface. Here we report that the C-terminal SWTY motif, although different from mode I and II consensus, binds tightly to 14-3-3 proteins with a dissociation constant (K(D)) of 0.17 microM, comparable with that of internal canonical binding peptides. We show that all residues but proline in -SWTX-COOH are compatible for the interaction and surface expression. Because SWTY-like sequences have been found in native proteins, these results support a broad significance of 14-3-3 interaction with protein C termini. The C-terminal binding consensus, mode III, represents an expansion of the repertoire of 14-3-3-targeted sequences. 相似文献

RbAp46 and RbAp48 (pRB-associated proteins p46 and p48, also known as RBBP7 and RBBP4, respectively) are highly homologous histone chaperones that play key roles in establishing and maintaining chromatin structure. We report here the crystal structure of human RbAp46 bound to histone H4. RbAp46 folds into a seven-bladed beta propeller structure and binds histone H4 in a groove formed between an N-terminal alpha helix and an extended loop inserted into blade six. Surprisingly, histone H4 adopts a different conformation when interacting with RbAp46 than it does in either the nucleosome or in the complex with ASF1, another histone chaperone. Our structural and biochemical results suggest that when a histone H3/H4 dimer (or tetramer) binds to RbAp46 or RbAp48, helix 1 of histone H4 unfolds to interact with the histone chaperone. We discuss the implications of our findings for the assembly and function of RbAp46 and RbAp48 complexes. 相似文献
