Structure and flexibility of the yeast NuA4 histone acetyltransferase complex

Open access

Published version of a preprint

Abstract

The NuA4 protein complex acetylates histones H4 and H2A to activate both transcription and DNA repair. We report the 3.1-Å resolution cryo-electron microscopy structure of the central hub of NuA4, which flexibly tethers the histone acetyltransferase (HAT) and Trimer Independent of NuA4 involved in Transcription Interactions with Nucleosomes (TINTIN) modules. The hub contains the large Tra1 subunit and a core that includes Swc4, Arp4, Act1, Eaf1, and the C-terminal region of Epl1. Eaf1 stands out as the primary scaffolding factor that interacts with the Tra1, Swc4, and Epl1 subunits and contributes the conserved HSA helix to the Arp module. Using nucleosome-binding assays, we find that the HAT module, which is anchored to the core through Epl1, recognizes H3K4me3 nucleosomes with hyperacetylated H3 tails, while the TINTIN module, anchored to the core via Eaf1, recognizes nucleosomes that have hyperacetylated H2A and H4 tails. Together with the known interaction of Tra1 with site-specific transcription factors, our data suggest a model in which Tra1 recruits NuA4 to specific genomic sites then allowing the flexible HAT and TINTIN modules to select nearby nucleosomes for acetylation.

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.
