          Abstract

          Stopped-flow fluorescence anisotropy was used to determine the kinetic parameters that define acetylation-dependent bromodomain-histone interactions. Bromodomains are acetyllysine binding motifs found in many chromatin associated proteins. Individual bromodomains were derived from the polybromo-1 protein, which is a subunit of the PBAF chromatin-remodeling complex that has six tandem bromodomains in the amino-terminal region. The average k(on) and k(off) values for the formation of high-affinity complexes are 275 M(-1) s(-1) and 0.41 x 10(-3) s(-1), respectively. The average k(on) and k(off) values for the formation of low-affinity complexes are 119 M(-1) s(-1) and 1.42 x 10(-3) s(-1), respectively. Analysis of the on- and off-rates yields acetylation site-dependent equilibrium dissociation constants averaging 1.4 and 12.9 microM for high- and low-affinity complexes, respectively. This work represents the first examination of kinetic mechanisms of acetylation-dependent bromodomain-histone interactions.
