Abstract
CAF-1 is essential in human cells for the de novo deposition of histones H3 and H4 at the DNA replication fork. Depletion of CAF-1 from various cell lines causes replication fork arrest, activation of the intra-S phase checkpoint and global defects in chromatin structure. CAF-1 is also involved in coordinating inheritance of states of genes expression and in chromatin assembly following DNA repair. In this study, we have generated cell lines expressing RNAi resistant versions of CAF-1 and show that the N-terminal 296 amino acids are dispensable for essential CAF-1 function in vivo. N-terminally truncated CAF-1 p150 is deficient in PCNA binding, reinforcing the existence of two PCNA binding sites in human CAF-1, but the defect in PCNA binding has no effect on the recruitment of CAF-1 to chromatin after DNA damage or to resistance to DNA damaging agents. Tandem affinity purification of CAF-1 interacting proteins under mild conditions reveals that CAF-1, is directly associated with the Ku70/80 complex, part of the DNA dependent protein kinase, and the phospho-serine/threonine binding protein, 14-3-3 zeta. CAF-1 is a substrate for DNA-PK and the 14-3-3 interaction in vitro is dependent on DNA-PK phosphorylation. These results highlight that CAF-1 has prominent interactions with the DNA repair machinery, but that the N-terminus is dispensable for the role of CAF-1 in DNA replication and repair coupled chromatin assembly.
