Solution structure of Pf1 SID1-mSin3A PAH2 Complex
Structural highlights
Function[PHF12_HUMAN] Acts as a transcriptional repressor. Involved in recruitment of functional SIN3A complexes to DNA. Represses transcription at least in part through the activity of an associated histone deacetylase (HDAC). May also repress transcription in a SIN3A-independent manner through recruitment of functional AES complexes to DNA.[1] [SIN3A_MOUSE] Acts as a transcriptional repressor. Corepressor for REST. Interacts with MXI1 to repress MYC responsive genes and antagonize MYC oncogenic activities. Also interacts with MXD1-MAX heterodimers to repress transcription by tethering SIN3A to DNA. Acts cooperatively with OGT to repress transcription in parallel with histone deacetylation.[2] [3] [4] Publication Abstract from PubMedHistone deacetylation constitutes an important mechanism for silencing genes. The histone-deacetylase-associated mammalian Rpd3S/Sin3S corepressor complex plays key roles in repressing aberrant gene transcription from cryptic transcription initiation sites and in mitigating RNA polymerase II progression in intragenic regions of actively transcribed genes. The Sin3 corepressor functions as a molecular adaptor linking histone deacetylases on the one hand, with the chromatin targeting subunits Pf1 and MRG15 on the other. Pf1 also functions as an adaptor by interacting with MRG15 and engaging in multivalent interactions with Sin3 targeting among other domains the two N-terminal paired amphipathic helix (PAH) domains that serve as sites of interaction with sequence-specific DNA-binding transcription factors. Here, we structurally and functionally evaluate the interaction between the PAH2 domain of mSin3A and the Sin3 interaction domain 1 (SID1) motif of Pf1 and find the structural aspects to be reminiscent of the interaction between the Mad1/Mxd1 transcription factor and Sin3. Pf1 residues within a highly conserved sequence motif immediately C-terminal to SID1 appear not to be important for the interaction with Sin3 PAH2. Unexpectedly, the MRG15 subunit competes, rather than collaborates, with Sin3 for the Pf1 segment encompassing the two conserved motifs, implying competition between two subunits for another subunit of the same chromatin-modifying complex.
