1H, 13C and 15N resonance assignments of an N-terminal domain of CHD4

Chromatin-remodeling proteins have a pivotal role in normal cell function and development, catalyzing conformational changes in DNA that ultimately result in changes in gene expression patterns. Chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 4 (CHD4), the defining subunit of the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD) complex, is a nucleosome-remodeling protein of the SNF2/ISWI2 family, members of which contain two chromo domains and an ATP-dependent helicase module. CHD3, CHD4 and CHD5 also contain two contiguous PHD domains and have an extended N-terminal region that has not previously been characterized. We have identified a stable domain in the N-terminal region of CHD4 and report here the backbone and side chain resonance assignments for this domain at pH 7.5 and 25 °C (BMRB No. 18906).
