Direct interaction between the PRDM3 and PRDM16 tumor suppressors and the NuRD chromatin remodeling complex.

ABSTRACT: Aberrant isoform expression of chromatin-associated proteins can induce epigenetic programs related to disease. The MDS1 and EVI1 complex locus (MECOM) encodes PRDM3, a protein with an N-terminal PR-SET domain, as well as a shorter isoform, EVI1, lacking the N-terminus containing the PR-SET domain (ΔPR). Imbalanced expression of MECOM isoforms is observed in multiple malignancies, implicating EVI1 as an oncogene, while PRDM3 has been suggested to function as a tumor suppressor through an unknown mechanism. To elucidate functional characteristics of these N-terminal residues, we compared the protein interactomes of the full-length and ΔPR isoforms of PRDM3 and its closely related paralog, PRDM16. Unlike the ΔPR isoforms, both full-length isoforms exhibited a significantly enriched associati
