The chromatin-associated protein DEK was first identified as a fusion protein in patients with a subtype of acute myelogenous leukemia. It has since become associated with diverse human ailments ranging from cancers to autoimmune diseases. Despite much research effort, the biochemical basis for these clinical connections has yet to be explained. We have identified a structural domain in the C-terminal region of DEK [DEK(309–375)]. DEK(309–375) implies clinical importance because it can reverse the characteristic abnormal DNA-mutagen sensitivity in fibroblasts from ataxia-telangiectasia (A-T) patients. We determined the solution structure of DEK(309–375) by nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy, and found it to be structurally homologous to the E2F/DP transcription factor family. On the basis of this homology, we tested whether DEK(309–375) could bind DNA and identified the DNA-interacting surface. DEK presents a hydrophobic surface on the side opposite the DNA-interacting surface. The structure of the C-terminal region of DEK provides insights into the protein function of DEK.

TOP Abstract Introduction Results and Discussion Materials and methods Electronic supplemental material References

 
The 375-residue DEK protein is abundant in the nucleus and is associated with chromatin. DEK was first discovered in patients with a subtype of AML as a fusion product in which its C-terminal 26 amino acids are replaced by the N-terminal two-thirds of the nucleoporin CAN (break point is shown in Fig. 1A; von Lindern et al. 1992). Although DEK’s role in AML has remained elusive, DEK has been linked in other ways to malignancy. A C-terminal fragment of DEK containing the last 65 residues is known to partially reverse the DNA-mutagen-sensitive phenotypes that characterize cells from A-T patients (Meyn et al. 1993). In addition, increased levels of DEK mRNA are reported in four neoplastic conditions: hepatocellular carcinoma, glioblastoma, melanoma, and AML (Kondoh et al. 1999; Grottke et al. 2000; Kroes et al. 2000; Larramendy 2002). Primary sequence analysis of DEK reveals acidic regions, a putative nuclear localization signal, and a nuclear scaffold attachment protein motif (SAF/SAP motif; Fig. 1A).

DEK has a nuclear scaffold attachment protein motif, namely, SAF/SAP motif, which extends from residue 149 to 183 (orange); a putative nuclear localization signal that extends from residue 205 to 221 (blue); and three acidic regions including residues 30–49, 228–254, and 300–310 (red). The breakpoint of the chromosomal translocation is residue 350, shown in green, which produces DEK-CAN fusion protein. (B) The amino acid sequence of the DEK(309–375) construct used in these studies is provided with the experimentally determined helices shaded in yellow. Residues shown in red experienced chemical shift perturbations on mixing with the E2F/DP consensus sequence. Residues with a green circle are protected from exchanging with water in the deuterium exchange experiment. Residues with nonnative amino acids are colored blue.

In addition to these sequence-specific DNA-binding functions, the chromatin association of DEK has been linked to several important biological processes. DEK is capable of changing the topology of chromatin and is suggested to participate in chromatin remodeling (Alexiadis et al. 2000). It is also reported to substantially reduce the replication efficiency of chromatin but not of naked DNA templates (Alexiadis et al. 2000). The chromatin association of DEK is also important for maintaining the latency of Kaposi’s sarcoma associated herpesvirus (KSHV). DEK forms a complex with the viral protein LANA (Kaposi’s sarcoma herpes viral latency-associated nuclear antigen) and this interaction allows the viral DNA of KSHV to be tethered to the chromosome of host cells (Krithivas et al. 2002).

Here we describe the structure of the C-terminal region of DEK that extends amino acids 309–375 [DEK(309–375)]. Structural similarities between DEK(309–375) and the DNA-binding domain of DP2, which is a member of the winged-helix DNA-binding proteins, is discussed. Using NMR chemical shift perturbation analysis, we have identified a surface of DEK(309–375) that can interact with DNA.

The C-terminal region of DEK defines a structural domain
We produced DEK fragments that contain residues 195–375 [DEK(195–375)] or 309–375 [DEK(309–375)] in order to define a structural domain in the C-terminal region of DEK. Comparison of HSQC spectra of DEK(309–375) and DEK(195–375) indicated that the residues N-terminal to DEK(309–375) have amide proton and nitrogen chemical shifts characteristic of a random coil (data not shown). We therefore used DEK(309–375) to determine the structure of the C-terminal region of DEK. The cDNA of DEK(309–375) was cloned into the pET28 Escherichia coli expression vector (Novagen) in frame with a C-terminal histidine tag. Residues that were introduced for cloning and ease of purification are highlighted in Figure 1B. Sedimentation velocity analysis of DEK(309–275) indicates that this fragment is in a monomeric association state at 0.7 mg/mL concentration in 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH 7.0), 5mM DTT, and 100 mM KCl (data not shown).

The structure of DEK(309–375) is provided in Figure 2A. The structured portion of this construct includes residues 320–375 and consists of three -helices that span residues 322–333, 343–353, and 361–374. The two additional residues at the N terminus (MG) are unstructured, whereas the introduced LE residues in the C-terminal region form a helical turn. However, the amide protons of these residues are not protected from exchange with water in a deuterium exchange experiment (protected residues are shown in Fig. 1B).

The backbone atoms of the 10 lowest energy structures are superimposed in this figure. This figure was prepared using MOLMOL (Koradi et al. 1996). (B) The structure of DEK(309–375) closely resembles that of DP2. The -helices of DEK(309–375; black) is superimposed onto the -helices of the DNA-binding domain of DP2 (gray). DEK(309–375) lacks the sheet present in DP2. This figure was prepared using MOLMOL (Koradi et al. 1996).

The structure of DEK(309–375) is related to the winged helix DNA-binding motif
We tested whether DEK(309–375) shares structural homology with other protein structures by using the program DALI (Holm and Park 2000). The DALI search revealed 10 protein structures with a Z-score higher than 3.0. Inspection of these structures indicated that the DNA-binding domain of the DP2 protein complexed with its heterodimeric partner E2F4 shares significant similarity with DEK(309–375), with a Z-score of 3.7. Residues 319–375 of DEK(309–375) superimpose onto the helical region of the DNA-binding domain of DP2(68–133) with an RMSD of 2.3Å (Fig. 2B). The overall fold of the DNA-binding domain of DP2 is very similar to that of DEK(309–375). Both proteins contain three tightly packed, twisted -helices (Fig. 2B). In both structures, the middle helix is the shortest and the C-terminal helix is the longest. The DNA-binding domain of DP2 contains an additional -sheet consisting of a short strand preceding 2 and two strands C-terminal to the -helices (Fig. 2B).

Several protein families have winged helix motifs, including the hepatocyte nuclear factor-3 (HNF-3) family (Costa et al. 1989; Sheng et al. 2002), Drosophila homeotic forkhead proteins (Weigel et al. 1989), forkhead box family (Anderson et al. 1998; Biggs et al. 2001; Weigelt et al. 2001; Carlsson and Mahlapuu 2002), E2F/DP family (Slansky and Farnham 1996), Genesis (Sutton et al. 1996), and regulatory factor X 1(RFX1; Siegrist et al. 1993). With the exception of Drosophila homeotic forkhead protein family, these protein families are transcription factors. Forkhead transcription factors including FOX proteins, HNF-3, genesis, and RFX1 bind double-strand DNA (dsDNA) as monomers, whereas E2F/DP binds dsDNA as a heterodimer.

The topology of the winged helix motif consists of three helices (1, 2, and 3), three strands (1, 2, and 3), and two loops ("wings," W1 and W2), arranged as 1–1–2–3–2-W1–3-W2. E2F and DP proteins lack the W2 wing. Many winged helix proteins, including HNF-3, E2F/DP, and genesis, bind the major groove of dsDNA by using polar residues within 3 (Clark et al. 1993; Jin et al. 1999; Zheng et al. 1999). The DP and E2F protein families comprise closely related transcription factors and form E2F/DP heterodimers to bind their target DNA sequences (for reviews, see Slansky and Farnham 1996; Helin 1998). These proteins bind dsDNA using an RRxYD motif, where x is an aliphatic residue (Slansky and Farnham 1996; Helin 1998). In DP2, 3 is situated in the DNA major groove and contains an RRVYD sequence with each arginine forming hydrogen bonds to guanine bases of sense- and antisense-strands (Zheng et al. 1999). Interestingly, DEK(309–375) contains a similar amino acid sequence in its 2; KKVYE. We therefore tested whether DEK can bind the E2F/DP consensus DNA sequence through contacts with 2.

DEK(309–375) interacts with dsDNA through 2
We monitored the chemical shift perturbation of the amide nitrogen and proton atoms of DEK(309–375) in [¹H-¹⁵N] HSQC spectra on addition of the E2F/DP consensus DNA sequence (ds5'-TTTCGCGCG-3'; Fig. 3A). Although DEK(309–375) appears to interact with the E2F/DP consensus sequence, the binding is weak, as the chemical shift perturbations were not saturated at a 1:4 molar ratio, and further chemical shift changes and line broadening are observed at a 1:8 molar ratio (data not shown). The residues that experienced chemical shift perturbations include those in the KKVYE sequence (K348, K349, Y351) as well as those in surrounding residues within 2 (M343, K344, I346, C347; colored red in Fig. 1B). Residues within the loop between 1 and 2 (N337, E339, V341) and two lysines of 3 (K367, K371) also experienced chemical shift perturbations (colored red in Fig. 1B). All of the residues that experienced chemical shift perturbations on addition of the dsDNA were mapped onto a surface representation of DEK(309–375; Fig. 3C,D). It is clear that the surface shown in Figure 3C is the DNA-interacting surface of DEK(309–375) and that the surface shown in Figure 3D does not interact with dsDNA. The electrostatic properties of these surfaces are illustrated in Figure 3, E and F, respectively. The DNA-interacting surface has a positively charged region that includes the five lysines that experienced chemical shift perturbation on addition of the dsDNA. In contrast, the opposite side has exposed hydrophobic residues, including L333 and A334 of 1, L338 of the loop between 1 and 2, and L373 from 3.

The residues within the linker and C-terminal His tag are labeled with asterisks. (C,D) The residues that experience chemical shift perturbations caused by adding the E2F/DP consensus DNA sequence (ds5'-TTTCGC-GCG-3') are colored yellow. (E,F) The electrostatic properties of surfaces for the surfaces shown in C and D, respectively. Surfaces D and F are rotated 180° from relative to C and E, respectively. These figures were made using GRASP (Nicholls et al. 1991).

In this work, we reveal that the C-terminal region of DEK [DEK(309–375)] forms a putative dsDNA-binding domain. This domain is structurally related to the winged-helix motif (Gajiwala and Burley 2000). Despite the structural similarity with winged helix proteins, the DNA-interaction mechanism of DEK(309–375) appears different from that of winged helix proteins, as it uses the second helix to interact with DNA, whereas other winged helix proteins use the third helix to interact with DNA. It is possible that DEK(309–375) requires another protein to form a stable protein–DNA complex. Further experiments are required to reveal the functional significance of this C-terminal region’s DNA-binding properties.

Protein expression and purification
The 67-amino-acid C-terminal fragment of DEK [DEK(309–375)] was cloned into the pET28a expression vector in frame with a C-terminal histidine tag (Novagen; C & P Biotech Corp.). Primers containing the NcoI and XhoI sites were used for PCR to produce 5' and 3' cloning sites, respectively. The plasmid for expression of the 180-amino-acid C-terminal fragment of DEK [DEK(195–375)] was constructed in the same manner. For preparation of isotope labeled protein, cells were grown in M9 minimal media containing ¹⁵ NH₄Cl, and/or 13C glucose at 37°C until OD₆₀₀ 0.6 and induced with 0.4 mM IPTG for 2 h before harvesting. Cells were lysed using Y-PER (Pierce), applied to Ni-NTA (Qiagen) Sepharose for 1 h, washed with 100 mL of 50 mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 8.0), and eluted with 20 mL of the sodium phosphate buffer containing 250 mM imidazole. After dialyzing against 50-mM sodium phosphate buffer (pH 6.5) with 100 mM KCl to remove imidazole, the protein was concentrated and applied to a G-75 column (Amersham Pharmacia Biotech). The protein concentration was measured at 280 nm using an extinction coefficient of 3840 M^–1 cm^–1. The final yield of soluble protein was ~30 mg/L of bacterial culture.

Sedimentation velocity analysis
The association status of DEK(309–375) was analyzed by sedimentation velocity measurements performed at the National Analytical Ultracentrifugation Facility (University of Connecticut Bio-technology Center). The sample solutions were prepared at three protein concentrations, including 0.1, 0.3, and 0.7 mg/mL, and subjected to a sedimentation velocity run, using the 8-hole rotor at 20°C and 50,000 rpm. The data for each loading concentration were analyzed by the program Sedfit² (version 8.7) using the model of a single, noninteracting, discrete species.

NMR spectroscopy and collection of structure restraints
NMR spectra were recorded at 20°C, using 1 mM DEK(309–375) in 50 mM sodium phosphate (pH 6.5), 100 mM KCl, and 95% H₂O/5% 2H₂O or 100% 2H₂O at 1H NMR frequencies of 600 and 800 MHz on Varian Unity INOVA NMR spectrometers equipped with triple resonance probes and pulsed field gradients. Sequential resonance assignments were obtained from standard three-dimensional CBCANH (Grzesiek and Bax 1992b), CBCA(CO)NH (Grzesiek and Bax 1992a), total correlated spectroscopy (TOCSY)-¹⁵N-HSQC (Marion et al. 1989a) and HCCHTOCSY experiments (Bax et al. 1990). NOE restraints were obtained from ¹H-¹H two-dimensional NOESY and ¹³C and ¹⁵N edited three-dimensional NOESY experiments (Solomon 1955; Fesik et al. 1989; Marion et al. 1989a, b) with 150 msec mixing times and total recording times of 24, 92, and 87 h, respectively. Slowly exchanging protons were identified after exchanging the H₂O buffer to a 2H₂O buffer. Dihedral angle restraints were calculated from chemical shifts using the program TALOS (Cornilescu et al. 1999). The protection of amide protons from exchange with water was observed by the deuterium exchange experiment. DEK(309–375) is lyophilized in 50 mM NaPO₄, and 100 mM KCl, 100% H₂O and dissolved in 100% 2H₂O. 1H-¹⁵N HSQC spectra were recorded every 5 min after being dissolved in 2H₂O.

Structure calculations
Spectra were processed using the NMRPipe software (Delaglio et al. 1995) on SGI workstations. Cross-peaks in the NOESY spectra were assigned and integrated using the program XEASY (Bartels et al. 1995). The NMR structure was calculated using a simulated annealing protocol in the program XPLOR (Brunger 1993). Eighty random conformers were annealed in 60,000 steps using Cartesian dynamics. All simulated annealed conformers were energy-minimized using the refinement protocol in the XPLOR (Brunger 1993). Table 1 shows an overview of the restraints used and structural statistics. The backbone dihedral angles were analyzed by Ramachandran plot using PROCHECK-NMR (Laskowski et al. 1996). No cis-peptide bonds were observed and no residues were found with a positive angle. No residue was found in the disallowed regions. Secondary structure elements and RMSD values were calculated using the program MOLMOL (Koradi et al. 1996), which was also used to generate Figure 2.

Mapping DNA-interacting surfaces of DEK(309–375)
DNA-interacting surfaces of DEK(309–375) were studied using chemical shift perturbation analysis of the amide nitrogen and proton signals in ¹H-¹⁵N HSQC spectra on addition of DNA. We used chemically synthesized dsDNA that has the consensus E2F/ DP binding site (ds5'-TTTCGCGCG-3'), a nonspecific sequence (ds5'-CCCATATAT-3'), the HIV-2 peri-ets sequence (ds5'-GCT ATACTTGGTCAGG-3'), and the DQA1 Y-box sequence (ds5'-CTAATTGGCC-3'). Each dsDNA was titrated into ¹⁵N-labeled DEK(309–375) at molar ratios of 1:1, 1:2, 1:4, and 1:8. Perturbed chemical shifts were followed through the DNA titration in order to assign signals at each molar ratio. Reference spectra were taken at the same protein concentration in the same buffer conditions. In addition, the chemical shift perturbation on addition of an RNA (5'-UUGAUUGGUUGUCAA-3') or a single-strand DNA (5'-GCTATACTTGGTCAGG-3') was observed.

Data bank accession codes
The coordinates of the 20 energy-refined XPLOR conformers of DEK(309–375) have been deposited in the PDB with the accession code 1Q1V. The NMR chemical shifts will be deposited in the BioMagResBank (BMRB).
