Abstract
|
|
|
The Gcn5 histone acetyltransferase (HAT) subunit of the SAGA transcriptional
coactivator complex catalyzes acetylation of histone H3 and H2B N-terminal
tails, posttranslational modifications associated with gene activation. Binding
of the SAGA subunit partner Ada2 to Gcn5 activates Gcn5's intrinsically weak HAT
activity on histone proteins, but the mechanism for this activation by the Ada2
SANT domain has remained elusive. We have employed Fab antibody fragments as
crystallization chaperones to determine crystal structures of a yeast Ada2/Gcn5
complex. Our structural and biochemical results indicate that the Ada2 SANT
domain does not activate Gcn5's activity by directly affecting histone peptide
binding as previously proposed. Instead, the Ada2 SANT domain enhances Gcn5
binding of the enzymatic cosubstrate acetyl-CoA. This finding suggests a
mechanism for regulating chromatin modification enzyme activity: controlling
binding of the modification cosubstrate instead of the histone substrate.
