Abstract
Posttranslational histone modifications participate in modulating the structure and function of chromatin. Promoters of transcribed genes are enriched with K4 trimethylation and hyperacetylation on the N-terminal tail of histone H3. Recently, PHD finger proteins, like Yng1 in the NuA3 HAT complex, were shown to interact with H3K4me3, indicating a biochemical link between K4 methylation and hyperacetylation. By using a combination of mass spectrometry, biochemistry, and NMR, we detail the Yng1 PHD-H3K4me3 interaction and the importance of NuA3-dependent acetylation at K14. Furthermore, genome-wide ChIP-Chip analysis demonstrates colocalization of Yng1 and H3K4me3 in vivo. Disrupting the K4me3 binding of Yng1 altered K14ac and transcription at certain genes, thereby demonstrating direct in vivo evidence of sequential trimethyl binding, acetyltransferase activity, and gene regulation by NuA3. Our data support a general mechanism of transcriptional control through which histone acetylation upstream of gene activation is promoted partially through availability of H3K4me3, "read" by binding modules in select subunits.

NMR-derived structure of the PHD finger (152–212) in the free form. For clarity, residues 152–154 and 208–212 in the unstructured regions were omitted.
(A) Backbone superposition of 20 energy-minimized structures of the PHD finger.
(B) Aromatically rich surface that shows extensive chemical shift changes upon peptide binding (Y157 and W180).
(C) Backbone superposition of 20 energy-minimized structures of the PHD finger in complex with H3[1–9]K4me3 peptide.
(D) Aromatically rich surface that shows extensive interactions with trimethylated lysine K4 (Y157 and W180).
(E) Surface representation of the YNG1 PHD complex with H3[1–9]K4me3 peptide. Surface residues that undergo the largest chemical shift upon binding are highlighted in pink.
(F) An ensemble of 20 structures with side chains involved in complex formation colored in purple (D172 and E179 for H3 R2, Y157 and W180 for H3K4).

Figure 7. Model for H3K4me3-Directed Activity of NuA3
(A) Set1, the H3K4 HMT, is recruited to promoter-proximal nucleosomes at the ORF to be activated, resulting in H3K4me3.
(B) NuA3 is targeted to and/or retained at sites of H3K4me3 through interactions with the PHD finger of Yng1, promoting H3K14ac via the Sas3 HAT, positively regulating downstream transcription events.
