Abstract
Crystal structures of the L3MBTL1 MBT repeats in complex with histone H4 peptides dimethylated on Lys20 (H4K20me2) show that only the second of the three MBT repeats can bind mono- and dimethylated histone peptides. Its binding pocket has similarities to that of 53BP1 and is able to recognize the degree of histone lysine methylation. An unexpected mode of peptide-mediated dimerization suggests a possible mechanism for chromatin compaction by L3MBTL1.
Figure 1.
(a) Structure of 3MBT bound to an H4K20me2 peptide (residues 17–25). H4K20me2 peptide is shown in red and the dimethyllysine is shown as a stick model. (b) Sequence alignment of MBT2, MBT1 and MBT3. Red, identical; blue, conserved; dots, lysine-binding pocket residues. (c) Superimposition of the three MBT repeats in 3MBT. Residues forming the lysine-binding pocket are shown as green sticks, and Phe256 from MBT1 and Arg467 from MBT3 are colored pink and blue, respectively. H4K20me2 peptide is shown as yellow sticks.
Figure 2.
(a,b) 3MBT (a, green backbone) and 53BP1 (b, gray backbone). Lysine-binding pocket residues and H4K20me2 peptide are shown as stick models.
