Crystal structure of SETDB1 Tudor domain in complexed with Compound 2.
Structural highlights
FunctionSETB1_HUMAN Histone methyltransferase that specifically trimethylates 'Lys-9' of histone H3. H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 (CBX1, CBX3 and/or CBX5) proteins to methylated histones. Mainly functions in euchromatin regions, thereby playing a central role in the silencing of euchromatic genes. H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation is coordinated with DNA methylation. Probably forms a complex with MBD1 and ATF7IP that represses transcription and couples DNA methylation and histone 'Lys-9' trimethylation. Its activity is dependent on MBD1 and is heritably maintained through DNA replication by being recruited by CAF-1. SETDB1 is targeted to histone H3 by TRIM28/TIF1B, a factor recruited by KRAB zinc-finger proteins.[1] [2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedSET domain bifurcated protein 1 (SETDB1) is a histone lysine methyltransferase that promotes the silencing of some tumour suppressor genes and is overexpressed in many cancers. SETDB1 contains a unique tandem tudor domain (TTD) that recognizes histone H3 sequences containing both methylated and acetylated lysines. Beginning with the identification of a hit compound (Cpd1), we discovered the first potent and selective small molecule SETDB1-TTD inhibitor (R,R)-59 through stepwise structure-guided optimization. (R,R)-59 showed a KD value of 0.088+/-0.045 muM in the ITC assay. The high potency of (R,R)-59 was well explained by the cocrystal structure of the (R,R)-59-TTD complex. (R,R)-59 is an endogenous binder competitive inhibitor. Evidence has also demonstrated its cellular target engagement. Interestingly, the enantiomer (S,S)-59 did not show activity in all the assays, highlighting the potential of (R,R)-59 as a tool compound in exploring the biological functions of SETDB1-TTD.
