| Popis: | In all eukaryotic cells, nucleosomes provide basic organization of genomic DNA and serve as signaling hubs for gene expression, DNA replication and DNA damage repair. These genome-templated processes are tuned by chromatin enzymes that introduce chemical modifications to nucleosomes and control their positioning and occupancy. Mutations in genes encoding chromatin enzymes are highly correlated with numerous cancer types. A thorough exploration of how these chromatin enzymes act on their physiologic target, the nucleosome, is critical to understanding abnormal DNA methylation, histone posttranslational modifications, and chromatin composition, leading to cancer. In our recent nucleosome interactome proteomic screen, we demonstrated that the vast majority of nuclear proteins require a group of acidic residues on the nucleosome disk surface to interact with nucleosomes. This acidic patch and an adjacent region were recognized by over 50% and 18% of nuclear proteins, respectively, while almost half of the nucleosome disk surface contributed only minimally to nucleosome recognition. Overall, we paired about 300 proteins representing diverse nuclear functions including DNA methylation (DNMT1 and 3, Tet1), histone modification (HAT complexes, kinases), nucleosome remodeling (SWI/SNF), DNA repair (MRN complex), DNA replication (ORC complex), RNA processing, and cell cycle progression (APC/C) with specific nucleosome surface requirements. We have now repeated our screen at amino acid resolution using a library of fifteen nucleosomes containing single point mutations in and around the acid patch, including potential histone oncomutations identified to be overrepresented in cancers. Using our nucleosome library, we preformed pulldowns from human embryonic kidney 293 cell nuclear lysates to comprehensively evaluate the role of single histone residues in nucleosome recognition. Overall, this study dissects the primary nucleosome binding hot-spot at high resolution and provide a robust resource for further exploration of the nucleosome interactome in normal and cancer cell biology.
