DNA binding reorganizes the intrinsically disordered C-terminal region of PSC in Drosophila PRC1

Description

Polycomb Group (PcG) proteins regulate gene expression by modifying chromatin. A key PcG complex, PRC1, has two activities: a ubiquitin ligase activity for histone H2A, and a chromatin compacting/nucleosome bridging activity that can inhibit transcription and chromatin remodeling. In Drosophila, the Posterior Sex Combs (PSC) subunit of PRC1 is central to both activities. The N-terminal homology region (HR) of PSC partners with dRING to form the ubiquitin ligase, while its intrinsically disordered C-terminal region (PSC-CTR) compacts chromatin, and inhibits chromatin remodeling and transcription in vitro. Both the HR and the PSC-CTR are essential in vivo. To understand how these two activities may be coordinated in PRC1, we used cross-linking mass spectrometry (XL-MS) to analyze the conformations of the PSC-CTR in PRC1 and how they change on binding DNA. XL-MS identifies interactions between the PSC-CTR and the core of PRC1, including the PSC HR. New contacts and overall more compacted PSC-CTR conformations are induced by DNA binding. We used chemical acetylation of accessible lysines for MS-based protein footprinting of the PSC-CTR. Protein footprinting reveals an extended, bipartite candidate DNA/chromatin binding surface. Our data suggest a model in which DNA (or chromatin) follows a long path on the flexible PSC-CTR. Intramolecular interactions of the PSC-CTR detected by XL-MS can bring the high affinity DNA/chromatin binding region close to the core of PRC1 without disrupting the interface between the ubiquitin ligase and the nucleosome. Our approach may be applicable to understanding the global organization of other large IDRs that bind nucleic acids. [doi:10.25345/C5C70B] [dataset license: CC0 1.0 Universal (CC0 1.0)]

Click here to queue conversion of this dataset's submitted spectrum files to open formats (e.g. mzML). This process may take some time.

When complete, the converted files will be available in the "ccms_peak" subdirectory of the dataset's FTP space (accessible via the "FTP Download" link to the right).
Number of distinct conditions across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct condition labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "Condition" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct biological replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct replicate labels are counted across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category having a "BioReplicate" or "Replicate" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct technical replicates across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

The technical replicate count is defined as the maximum number of times any one distinct combination of condition and biological replicate was analyzed across all files submitted in the "Metadata" category. In the case of fractionated experiments, only the first fraction is considered.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Originally identified proteins that were automatically remapped by MassIVE to proteins in the SwissProt human reference database.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct protein accessions reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct unmodified peptide sequences reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct peptide sequences (including modified variants or peptidoforms) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Total number of peptide-spectrum matches (i.e. spectrum identifications) reported across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins quantified across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
Number of distinct proteins found to be differentially abundant in at least one comparison across all analyses (original submission and reanalyses) associated with this dataset.

A protein is differentially abundant if its change in abundance across conditions is found to be statistically significant with an adjusted p-value <= 0.05 and lists no issues associated with statistical tests for differential abundance.

Distinct protein accessions are counted across all files submitted in the "Statistical Analysis of Quantified Analytes" category having a "Protein" column in this dataset.

"N/A" means no results of this type were submitted.
This dataset may not contain all raw spectra data as originally deposited in PRIDE. It has been imported to MassIVE for reanalysis purposes, so its spectra data here may consist solely of processed peak lists suitable for reanalysis with most software.
