Article Title: Structural basis for the unique multivalent readout of unmodified H3 tail by Arabidopsis ORC1b BAH-PHD cassette
Abstract: Summary DNA replication initiation relies on the formation of the origin recognition complex (ORC). The plant ORC subunit 1 (ORC1) protein possesses a conserved N-terminal BAH domain with an embedded plant-specific PHD finger, whose function may be potentially regulated by an epigenetic mechanism. Here, we report structural and biochemical studies on the Arabidopsis thaliana ORC1b BAH-PHD cassette which specifically recognizes the unmodified H3 tail. The crystal structure of ORC1b BAH-PHD cassette in complex with an H3(1-15) peptide reveals a strict requirement for the unmodified state of R2, T3, and K4 on the H3 tail and a novel multivalent BAH and PHD readout mode for H3 peptide recognition. Such recognition may contribute to epigenetic regulation of the initiation of DNA replication. © 2016 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
