Abstrakt: The heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) sub-family of CBX chromodomains are responsible for the recognition of histone H3 lysine 9 tri-methyl (H3K9me3)-marked nucleosomal substrates through binding of the N-terminal chromodomain. These HP1 proteins, namely, CBX1 (HP1β), CBX3 (HP1γ), and CBX5 (HP1α), are commonly associated with regions of pericentric heterochromatin, but recent literature studies suggest that regulation by these proteins is likely more dynamic and includes other loci. Importantly, there are no chemical tools toward HP1 chromodomains to spatiotemporally explore the effects of HP1-mediated processes, underscoring the need for novel HP1 chemical probes. Here, we report the discovery of HP1 targeting peptidomimetic compounds, UNC7047 and UNC7560, and a biotinylated derivative tool compound, UNC7565. These compounds represent an important milestone, as they possess nanomolar affinity for the CBX5 chromodomain by isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC) and bind HP1-containing complexes in cell lysates. These chemical tools provide a starting point for further optimization and the study of CBX5-mediated processes.
