PHF1 Tudor and N-terminal domains synergistically target partially unwrapped nucleosomes to increase DNA accessibility
21 Dec 2016
Abstract excerpt
The Tudor domain of human PHF1 recognizes trimethylated lysine 36 on histone H3 (H3K36me3). PHF1 relies on this interaction to regulate PRC2 methyltransferase activity, localize to DNA double strand breaks and mediate nucleosome accessibility. Here, we investigate the impact of the PHF1 N-terminal domain (NTD) on the Tudor domain interaction with the nucleosome. We show that the NTD is partially ordered when it...
