Synthetic Chromatin Acylation by an Artificial Catalyst System

Abstract: Our research provides an approach to synthetically modulating histone posttranslational modifications without relying on endogenous enzymes. We have developed an artificial catalyst system comprising nucleosome-binding catalysts and acyl donors. The catalyst system preferentially acylates lysines on histone tails and modulates chromatin structure similarly to histone acetyltransferases. Our system can be a useful tool for studying chromatin-modification enzymes as well as the functions of histone acylations.

“…In a recent study, this was effectively overcome by DMAP incorporation in surface-cross-linked micelles (SCMs) 29, creating a hydrophobic microenvironment that facilitates efficient catalysis for (phosphate)ester hydrolysis even under acidic conditions (Table 1 reaction 11b). 117 Other recent literature examples of 6 catalysis include the application of DMAP for affinity protein-labeling 118 , the activation of thioesters via a DMAP-SH analogue for acyl transfer reactions 119 , a DMAP artificial catalyst system for histone-selective acylation using nucleosomebinding catalysts and acyl donors (in analogy to histone acetyltransferases) 120 (Table 1 -reaction 15). 122,123 An analogue of DABCO, 3-quinuclidinol 31 was found as an optimal catalyst for the MBH reaction, demonstrating the largest effect on reaction rate acceleration compared to 4 and 6.…”
