The Mi-2/NuRD (NUcleosome Remodeling and histone Deacetylase) chromatin remodeling complex is a large heterogeneous multiprotein complex associated with transcriptional repression. Here we apply a SILAC based quantitative proteomics approach to show that all known Mi-2/NuRD complex subunits co-purify with Cyclin Dependent Kinase 2 Associated Protein1 (CDK2AP1), also known as Deleted in Oral Cancer 1 (DOC-1). DOC-1 displays in vitro binding affinity for methylated DNA as part of the meCpG binding MBD2/NuRD complex. In luciferase reporter assays, DOC-1 is a potent repressor of transcription. Finally, immunofluorescence experiments reveal co-localization between MBD2 and DOC-1 in mouse NIH-3T3 nuclei. Collectively, these results indicate that DOC-1 is a bona fide subunit of the Mi-2/NuRD chromatin remodeling complex.
Mi-2/NuRD(核小体重塑和组蛋白去乙酰化酶)染色质重塑复合体是一种与转录抑制相关的大型异质多蛋白复合体。在此,我们应用基于稳定同位素标记氨基酸在细胞培养中(SILAC)的定量蛋白质组学方法,以表明所有已知的Mi-2/NuRD复合亚基都与细胞周期蛋白依赖性激酶2相关蛋白1(CDK2AP1,也称为口腔癌缺失1(DOC-1))共同纯化。作为甲基化CpG结合MBD2/NuRD复合体的一部分,DOC-1在体外对甲基化DNA显示出结合亲和力。在荧光素酶报告基因检测中,DOC-1是一种有效的转录抑制因子。最后,免疫荧光实验揭示了MBD2和DOC-1在小鼠NIH-3T3细胞核中的共定位。这些结果共同表明,DOC-1是Mi-2/NuRD染色质重塑复合体的一个真正亚基。
