Project description:Proteasomes degrade diverse proteins in different cellular contexts through incompletely defined regulatory mechanisms. Here, we report the cryo-EM structure of thioredoxin-like protein 1 (TXNL1) bound to the 19S regulatory particle of proteasomes via interactions with PSMD1/Rpn2, PSMD4/Rpn10, and PSMD14/Rpn11. Proteasome binding is necessary for the ubiquitin-independent degradation of TXNL1 upon cellular exposure to metal- or metalloid-containing oxidative agents, thereby establishing a structural requirement for the stress-induced degradation of TXNL1.
Project description:The proteasome can regulate transcription through proteolytic processing of transcription factors and via gene locus binding, but few targets of proteasomal regulation have been identified. Using genome-wide location analysis and transcriptional profiling in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, we have established which genes are bound and regulated by the proteasome, and by Spt23 and Mga2, transcription factors activated by the proteasome. We observed proteasome association with gene sets that are highly transcribed, controlled by the mating-type loci, and involved in lipid metabolism. At ribosomal protein genes, proteasome and RNA polymerase II binding was enriched in a proteasome mutant, indicating a role for the proteasome in dissociating elongation complexes. The genomic occupancies of Spt23 and Mga2 overlapped significantly with the genes bound by the proteasome. Finally, the proteasome acts in two distinct ways, one dependent and one independent of Spt23/Mga2 cleavage, providing evidence for cooperative gene regulation by the proteasome and its substrates. Keywords: ChIP-chip; genetic modification transcriptional profiling

Keywords: ChIP-chip; genetic modification transcriptional profiling Six genomic localization analysis (GLA, ChIP2) experiments are represented by 18 samples. Six transcriptional profiling experiments (prof) are also represented. Experiments were generally done in triplicate, with fluors swapped on the third replicate.
Project description:Setd2 methylate the nucleosome to form H3K36me3. Here we utilized the Cryo-EM to elucidate the structure of SETD2/Set2 bound with nucleosomes. Through this structure analysis, we found that histone H1 may interfere the enzymatic activity of SETD2/Set2 by inhibiting their binding affinity.
Project description:To realize the heterogeneity analysis of the structure and interaction for human 26S proteasomes in the cytoplasm and nucleus, combined with living cell cross-linking and efficient cytoplasm and nucleus separation method, the conformation and interaction resolution of 26S proteasome in the cytoplasm and nucleus was realized. Besides, by ensemble refinement of the interaction conformation of proteasome and ubiquitin with the crosslinking restraints, the transport path of ubiquitin on the proteasome was depicted in the cytoplasm and nucleus. It is of great significance for gaining an intensive understanding of the ubiquitin proteasome system for degrading proteins in the cytoplasm and nucleus.
Project description:Nucleosomes are basic repeating units of chromatin, and form regularly spaced arrays in cells. Chromatin remodelers alter the positions of nucleosomes, and are vital in regulating chromatin organization and gene expression. Here we report the cryoEM structure of chromatin remodeler ISW1a complex bound to the dinucleosome. Each subunit of the complex recognizes a different nucleosome. The motor subunit binds to the mobile nucleosome and recognizes the acidic patch through two arginine residues, and the DNA-binding module interacts with the entry DNA at the nucleosome edge. This nucleosome-binding mode provides the structural basis for linker DNA sensing of the motor. Notably, the Ioc3 subunit recognizes the disk face of the adjacent nucleosome through interacting with the H4 tail, the acidic patch and the nucleosomal DNA, which plays a role in the spacing activity in vitro, and in nucleosome organization and cell fitness in vivo. Together, these findings support the nucleosome spacing activity of ISW1a, and add a new mode of nucleosome remodeling in the context of a chromatin environment.
