The MBD2-NuRD (Nucleosome Remodeling and Deacetylase) complex is an epigenetic reader of DNA methylation that regulates genes involved in normal development and neoplastic diseases. To delineate the architecture and functional interactions of the MBD2-NuRD complex, we previously solved the structures of MBD2 bound to methylated DNA and a coiled-coil interaction between MBD2 and p66α that recruits the CHD4 nucleosome remodeling protein to the complex. The work presented here identifies novel structural and functional features of a previously uncharacterized domain of MBD2 (MBD2IDR). Biophysical analyses show that the MBD2IDR is an intrinsically disordered region (IDR). However, despite this inherent disorder, MBD2IDR increases the overall binding affinity of MBD2 for methylated DNA. MBD2IDR also recruits the histone deacetylase core components (RbAp48, HDAC2 and MTA2) of NuRD through a critical contact region requiring two contiguous amino acid residues, Arg(286) and Leu(287). Mutating these residues abrogates interaction of MBD2 with the histone deacetylase core and impairs the ability of MBD2 to repress the methylated tumor suppressor gene PRSS8 in MDA-MB-435 breast cancer cells. These findings expand our knowledge of the multi-dimensional interactions of the MBD2-NuRD complex that govern its function.
MBD2-NuRD(核小体重塑与去乙酰化酶)复合物是一种DNA甲基化的表观遗传阅读器,可调节参与正常发育和肿瘤疾病的基因。为了描绘MBD2-NuRD复合物的结构和功能相互作用,我们之前解析了与甲基化DNA结合的MBD2的结构,以及MBD2与p66α之间的卷曲螺旋相互作用,该相互作用将CHD4核小体重塑蛋白招募到复合物中。本文介绍的工作确定了MBD2一个先前未被表征的结构域(MBD2IDR)的新结构和功能特征。生物物理分析表明,MBD2IDR是一个内在无序区域(IDR)。然而,尽管存在这种内在无序,MBD2IDR却增加了MBD2对甲基化DNA的整体结合亲和力。MBD2IDR还通过一个需要两个相邻氨基酸残基Arg(286)和Leu(287)的关键接触区域招募NuRD的组蛋白去乙酰化酶核心成分(RbAp48、HDAC2和MTA2)。突变这些残基会消除MBD2与组蛋白去乙酰化酶核心的相互作用,并损害MBD2在MDA-MB-435乳腺癌细胞中抑制甲基化肿瘤抑制基因PRSS8的能力。这些发现扩展了我们对控制其功能的MBD2-NuRD复合物多维相互作用的认识。
