The structure of the carboxy-terminal domain of DNTTIP1
Structural highlights
FunctionTDIF1_HUMAN Shown to enhance TdT activity, in vitro. Also acts as a transcriptional regulator, binding to the consensus sequence 5'-GNTGCATG-3' following an AT-tract. Associates with RAB20 promoter and positively regulates its transcription.[1] [2] Publication Abstract from PubMedRecent proteomic studies have identified a novel histone deacetylase complex that is upregulated during mitosis and is associated with cyclin A. This complex is conserved from nematodes to man and contains histone deacetylases 1 and 2, the MIDEAS corepressor protein and a protein called DNTTIP1 whose function was hitherto poorly understood. Here, we report the structures of two domains from DNTTIP1. The amino-terminal region forms a tight dimerization domain with a novel structural fold that interacts with and mediates assembly of the HDAC1:MIDEAS complex. The carboxy-terminal domain of DNTTIP1 has a structure related to the SKI/SNO/DAC domain, despite lacking obvious sequence homology. We show that this domain in DNTTIP1 mediates interaction with both DNA and nucleosomes. Thus, DNTTIP1 acts as a dimeric chromatin binding module in the HDAC1:MIDEAS corepressor complex. Structural and functional characterization of a cell cycle associated HDAC1/2 complex reveals the structural basis for complex assembly and nucleosome targeting.,Itoh T, Fairall L, Muskett FW, Milano CP, Watson PJ, Arnaudo N, Saleh A, Millard CJ, El-Mezgueldi M, Martino F, Schwabe JW Nucleic Acids Res. 2015 Feb 4. pii: gkv068.
