Chromodomain helicase DNA-binding (CHD) enzymes play a pivotal role in genome regulation. They possess highly conserved ATPase domains flanked by poorly characterized and intrinsically disordered N- and C-termini. Using mass spectrometry, we identify dozens of novel protein-protein interactions (PPIs) within the N- and C-termini of human CHD family members. We also define a highly conserved aggregation-prone region (APR) within the C-terminus of CHD4 which is critical for its interaction with the nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase (NuRD), as well as ChAHP (CHD4, activity-dependent neuroprotective protein (ADNP), and HP1γ) complexes. Further analysis reveals a regulatory role for the CHD4 APR in gene transcription during erythrocyte formation. Our results highlight that the N- and C-termini of CHD chromatin remodelers shape protein interaction networks that drive unique transcriptional programs.
染色质结构域解旋酶DNA结合(CHD)酶在基因组调控中起关键作用。它们拥有高度保守的ATP酶结构域,两侧是特征不明且内在无序的N端和C端。通过质谱分析,我们在人类CHD家族成员的N端和C端鉴定出数十种新的蛋白质-蛋白质相互作用(PPI)。我们还在CHD4的C端定义了一个高度保守的易聚集区域(APR),该区域对于其与核小体重塑和去乙酰化酶(NuRD)以及ChAHP(CHD4、活性依赖性神经保护蛋白(ADNP)和HP1γ)复合物的相互作用至关重要。进一步分析揭示了CHD4 APR在红细胞形成过程中对基因转录的调控作用。我们的结果突出表明,CHD染色质重塑因子的N端和C端塑造了驱动独特转录程序的蛋白质相互作用网络。
