Structural insights into multifunctionality of human FACT complex subunit hSSRP1.

ABSTRACT: Human structure-specific recognition protein 1 (hSSRP1) is an essential component of the facilitates chromatin transcription complex, which participates in nucleosome disassembly and reassembly during gene transcription and DNA replication and repair. Many functions, including nuclear localization, histone chaperone activity, DNA binding, and interaction with cellular proteins, are attributed to hSSRP1, which contains multiple well-defined domains, including four pleckstrin homology (PH) domains and a high-mobility group domain with two flanking disordered regions. However, little is known about the mechanisms by which these domains cooperate to carry out hSSRP1's functions. Here, we report the biochemical characterization and structure of each functional domain of hSSRP1, including the N-
