Abstract
Nuclear receptor-binding SET domain-containing 2 (NSD2) is the primary enzyme responsible for the dimethylation of lysine 36 of histone 3 (H3K36), a mark associated with active gene transcription and intergenic DNA methylation. In addition to a methyltransferase domain, NSD2 harbors two proline-tryptophan-tryptophan-proline (PWWP) domains and five plant homeodomains (PHDs) believed to serve as chromatin reading modules. Here, we report a chemical probe targeting the N-terminal PWWP (PWWP1) domain of NSD2. UNC6934 occupies the canonical H3K36me2-binding pocket of PWWP1, antagonizes PWWP1 interaction with nucleosomal H3K36me2 and selectively engages endogenous NSD2 in cells. UNC6934 induces accumulation of endogenous NSD2 in the nucleolus, phenocopying the localization defects of NSD2 protein isoforms lacking PWWP1 that result from translocations prevalent in multiple myeloma (MM). Mutations of other NSD2 chromatin reader domains also increase NSD2 nucleolar localization and enhance the effect of UNC6934. This chemical probe and the accompanying negative control UNC7145 will be useful tools in defining NSD2 biology. Discovery of a chemical probe targeting the PWWP domain of NSD2 reveals insight into mechanisms that govern NSD2 localization. The compound and its negative control represent valuable tools for further defining NSD2 biology.
期刊介绍:
Nature Chemical Biology stands as an esteemed international monthly journal, offering a prominent platform for the chemical biology community to showcase top-tier original research and commentary. Operating at the crossroads of chemistry, biology, and related disciplines, chemical biology utilizes scientific ideas and approaches to comprehend and manipulate biological systems with molecular precision.
The journal embraces contributions from the growing community of chemical biologists, encompassing insights from chemists applying principles and tools to biological inquiries and biologists striving to comprehend and control molecular-level biological processes. We prioritize studies unveiling significant conceptual or practical advancements in areas where chemistry and biology intersect, emphasizing basic research, especially those reporting novel chemical or biological tools and offering profound molecular-level insights into underlying biological mechanisms.
Nature Chemical Biology also welcomes manuscripts describing applied molecular studies at the chemistry-biology interface due to the broad utility of chemical biology approaches in manipulating or engineering biological systems. Irrespective of scientific focus, we actively seek submissions that creatively blend chemistry and biology, particularly those providing substantial conceptual or methodological breakthroughs with the potential to open innovative research avenues. The journal maintains a robust and impartial review process, emphasizing thorough chemical and biological characterization.
