Hydrophobic cavity-directed azide-acetyllysine photochemistry for profiling non-histone interacting partners of bromodomain protein 1.

ABSTRACT: Bromodomain containing protein 1 (BRD1) plays critical roles in chromatin acetylation, gene transcription, erythropoiesis, and brain development. BRD1 is also implicated in several human conditions and is a therapeutic target for cancer. Although, the bromodomain is known to bind acetylated histones, how the function of BRD1 is regulated via non-histone acetylation is unexplored. To identify the non-histone acetylome of BRD1, we develop an R585AzF variant carrying photo responsive 4-azido phenylalanine (AzF) via amber suppressor mutagenesis. We demonstrate biochemical integrity of the AzF-containing analogue and its ability to crosslink non-histone interacting partners present in human cells. Subsequent proteomic experiments led to the identification of the novel BRD1 interactome representing diverse signaling pathways. As a proof-of-concept demonstration, we validated acetylated PDIA1 protein as a bona fide binding partner of BRD1. Our work suggests that BRD1 interacts with additional acetyllysine motifs, beyond those characterized in histone proteins.

Project description:Bromodomain-PHD finger protein 1 (BRPF1) belongs to the BRPF family of bromodomain-containing proteins. Bromodomains are exclusive reader modules that recognize and bind acetylated histones and non-histone transcription factors to regulate gene expression. The biological functions of acetylated histone recognition by BRPF1 bromodomain are well characterized; however, the function of BRPF1 regulation via non-histone acetylation is still unexplored. Therefore, identifying the non-histone interactome of BRPF1 is pivotal in deciphering its role in diverse cellular processes, including its misregulation in diseases like cancer. Herein, we identified the non-histone interacting partners of BRPF1 utilizing a protein engineering-based approach. We site-specifically introduced the unnatural photo-cross-linkable amino acid 4-azido-L-phenylalanine into the bromodomain of BRPF1 without altering its ability to recognize acetylated histone proteins. Upon photoirradiation, the engineered BRPF1 generates a reactive nitrene species, cross-linking interacting partners with spatio-temporal precision. We demonstrated the robust cross-linking efficiency of the engineered variant with reported histone ligands of BRPF1 and further used the variant reader to cross-link its interactome. We also characterized novel interacting partners by proteomics, suggesting roles for BRPF1 in diverse cellular processes. BRPF1 interaction with interleukin enhancer-binding factor 3, one of these novel interacting partners, was further validated by isothermal titration calorimetry and co-IP. Lastly, we used publicly available ChIP-seq and RNA-seq datasets to understand the colocalization of BRPF1 and interleukin enhancer-binding factor 3 in regulating gene expression in the context of hepatocellular carcinoma. Together, these results will be crucial for full understanding of the roles of BRPF1 in transcriptional regulation and in the design of small-molecule inhibitors for cancer treatment.

Project description:The protein arginine methyl transferase PRMT5 is an enzyme expressed in oligodendrocyte lineage cells and responsible for the symmetric methylation of arginine residues on histone tails. Previous work from our laboratory identified PRMT5 as critical for myelination, due to its transcriptional regulation of genes involved in survival and early stages of differentiation. However, besides its nuclear localization, PRMT5 is found at high levels in the cytoplasm of several cell types, including oligodendrocyte progenitor cells (OPCs) and yet, its interacting partners in this lineage, remain elusive. By using mass spectrometry on protein eluates from extracts generated from primary oligodendrocyte lineage cells and immunoprecipitated with PRMT5 antibodies, we identified 1196 proteins as PRMT5 interacting partners. These proteins were related to molecular functions such as RNA binding, ribosomal structure, cadherin and actin binding, nucleotide and protein binding, and GTP and GTPase activity. We then investigated PRMT5 substrates using iTRAQ-based proteomics on cytosolic and nuclear protein extracts from CRISPR-PRMT5 knockdown immortalized oligodendrocyte progenitors compared to CRISPR-EGFP controls. This analysis identified a similar number of peptides in the two subcellular fractions and a total number of 57 proteins with statistically decreased symmetric methylation of arginine residues in the CRISPR-PRMT5 knockdown compared to control. Several PRMT5 substrates were in common with cancer cell lines and related to RNA processing, splicing and transcription. In addition, we detected ten oligodendrocyte lineage specific substrates, corresponding to proteins with high expression levels in neural tissue. They included: PRC2C, a proline-rich protein involved in methyl-RNA binding, HNRPD an RNA binding protein involved in regulation of RNA stability, nuclear proteins involved in transcription and other proteins related to migration and actin cytoskeleton. Together, these results highlight a cell-specific role of PRMT5 in OPC in regulating several other cellular processes, besides RNA splicing and metabolism.
