Abstract

Histone deacetylase 1 and 2 (HDAC1/2) are highly related enzymes that regulate histone acetylation levels in all cells, as catalytic and structural components of six unique multiprotein complexes: SIN3, NuRD, CoREST, MIDAC, MIER and RERE. Co-immunoprecipitation of HDAC1-Flag followed by mass spectrometry revealed that 92% of HDAC1 in mouse embryonic stem cells resides in 3 complexes, NuRD (49%), CoREST (28%) and SIN3 (15%). We compared the structures of MTA1:HDAC1 and MIDAC:HDAC1 to identify critical binding residues on the surface of HDAC1. Surprisingly, a single mutation, Y48E, disrupts binding to all complexes except SIN3. Rescue experiments performed with HDAC1-Y48E in HDAC1/2 double-knockout cells, showed that retention of SIN3 binding alone is sufficient for cell viability. Gene expression and histone acetylation patterns were perturbed in both Y48E and a second mutant cell line, HDAC1-E63R, indicating that cells require a full repertoire of the HDAC1/2 complexes to regulate their transcriptome appropriately. Comparative analysis of MTA1/HDAC1 and SIN3B/HDAC2 structures confirmed the differential modes of HDAC1 recruitment, such that Y48 interacts with ELM2/SANT domain-containing proteins, but not SIN3. The E63R mutation shows markedly reduced binding to NuRD and MiDAC complexes, but retains some CoREST binding. We provide novel molecular insights into the abundance, co-factors and assemblies of this crucial family of chromatin modifying machines.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
