摘要

Histone chaperones regulate the density of incorporated histone proteins around DNA transcription sites and therefore constitute an important site-specific regulatory mechanism for the control of gene expression. At present, the targeting mechanism conferring this site specificity is unknown. We previously reported that the histone chaperone B23ucleophosmin associates with rRNA chromatin (r-chromatin) to stimulate rRNA transcription. Here, we report on the mechanism for site-specific targeting of B23 to the r-chromatin. We observed that, during mitosis, B23 was released from chromatin upon inactivation of its RNA binding activity by cdc2 kinase-mediated phosphorylation. The phosphorylation status of B23 was also shown to strongly affect its chromatin binding activity. We further found that r-chromatin binding of B23 was a necessary condition for B23 histone chaperone activity in vivo. In addition, we found that depletion of upstream binding factor (UBF; an rRNA transcription factor) decreased the chromatin binding affinity of B23, which in turn led to an increase in histone density at the r-chromatin. These two major strands of evidence suggest a novel cell cycle-dependent mechanism for the site-specific regulation of histone density via joint RNA- and transcription factor-mediated recruitment of histone chaperones to specific chromosome loci.
