We discovered that proteins harboring HEAT and ARM repeats bind to lysine myristoylated peptides. Recombinant HEAT and ARM repeats bind to myristoylated peptides independent of the peptide sequence or the position of the myristoyl group. Indeed, HEAT and ARM repeats bind directly to medium- SIGLEC1 and long-chain free fatty acids (MCFA and LCFA). Lipidomic experiments suggest that MCFAs and LCFAs interact with HEAT and ARM repeat proteins in mammalian cells. Finally, treatment of cells with exogenous MCFAs and inhibitors of MCFA-CoA synthases increase the transactivation activity of the ARM repeat protein -catenin. Taken together, our results suggest an unappreciated role for fatty acids in the regulation of proteins harboring HEAT or ARM repeats. binding assays showed that all of the recombinant GST (Glutathione S-transferase)-tagged proteins tested bound to H3K9myr peptides, and no binding was seen for shorter acyl-peptides Chitinase-IN-1 (Fig.?2a, Supplementary Fig.?S2). Myristoylation is usually most often found on the protein N-terminus19, so we also tested if the binding was dependent on the position of the myristoyl group within the peptide. An N-myristoylated H3 peptide largely retained the conversation with HEAT and ARM proteins (Fig.?2b, Supplementary Fig.?S2). Another set was utilized by us of peptides produced from the proteins Bet, which is myristoylated on an interior glycine residue upon caspase cleavage20 physiologically. Again, all protein tested destined to myristoylated Bet however, not the unmodified Bet peptide (Fig.?2b, Supplementary Fig.?S2). General, all the Temperature and ARM do it again protein that we examined destined to myristoylated peptides whatever the root peptide series or position from the modification, recommending that much longer string acyl-binding could be an over-all property or home of Temperature and ARM do it again protein. Open in a separate window Physique 2 Warmth and ARM repeat proteins bind to myristoylated peptides directly. Peptide pull-down experiment using recombinant proteins purified from with (a) H3 peptides with different acyl modifications on lysine 9, and (b) peptides with a myristoyl group on a lysine side chain or the N-terminus. Full-length blots are offered in Supplementary Fig.?S2. Warmth and ARM repeat proteins exhibit unique acyl-binding profiles Next, we asked if the peptide backbone was dispensable Chitinase-IN-1 for the conversation between Warmth and ARM repeat proteins and acyl moieties and if the conversation extended to Chitinase-IN-1 fatty acyl chain lengths besides 14 carbons. We generated a panel of fatty acyl conjugated beads with chain lengths spanning from two to 22 carbon atoms (Fig.?3a, method adapted from21). We used the HEAT repeat protein 2AAB, and the ARM repeats of -catenin and APC (Adenomatous polyposis coli) as models for this experiment. Given that GST has been previously shown to bind long-chain free fatty acids22,23, we cleaved the GST tags from your recombinant proteins with PreScission proteinase in these experiments. Conversation between recombinant proteins and acyl-beads was detected by silver staining (Fig.?3b, Supplementary Fig.?S2)). A fatty acid carrier protein bovine serum albumin (BSA) was used as a positive control, and the PZP domain name of AF10, a reader for unmodified lysine 27 of histone H324, as a negative control. As expected, BSA binds to long-chain fatty acyl beads, which matches its known activity25 and the AF10 PZP domain name does not bind to any fatty acyls. The ARM repeats of -catenin bound a range of acyl groups from hexanoic acyl (C6:0) to myristic acyl (C14:0) with strongest binding to decanoic acyl (C10:0) and gradually weaker conversation as chain length increased or decreased from ten carbons. The ARM domain name of APC also exhibited peak binding at C10:0 but with a sharp drop-off of conversation at C8:0 and a much more gradual decrease up through C22:0. 2AAB bound to C8:0 through C22:0 with a slight peak at C12:0. Quantification of normalized fold switch in silver staining intensity is usually shown in Fig.?3c. These results demonstrate that Warmth and ARM repeat proteins bind to medium- and long-chain free fatty.
