4QQG - PubMed Abstract:
Tat-interactive protein 60 consists of an N-terminal chromo barrel domain (TIP60-CB) and a C-terminal acetyltransferase domain and acetylates histone and nonhistone proteins in diverse cellular processes. While TIP60-CB is thought to recognize histone tails, molecular details of this interaction remain unclear. Here, we attempted a quantitative analysis of the interaction between the human TIP60-CB and histone peptides, but did not observe any detectable binding by either fluorescence polarization or isothermal titration calorimetry assays. We also determined the crystal structure of the TIP60-CB alone. Analysis of the apo-structure reveals a putative peptide-binding site that might be occluded by the basic side chain of a residue in a unique β hairpin between the two N-terminal strands of the β barrel, leading to the inability of TIP60-CB to bind histones.
