The structure of eukaryotic chromatin directly influences gene function, and is
regulated by chemical modifications of the core histone proteins. Modification of
the human histone H4 N-terminal tail region by the small ubiquitin-like modifier
protein, SUMO-3, is associated with transcription repression. However, the direct
effect of sumoylation on chromatin structure and function remains unknown.
Therefore, we employed a disulfide-directed strategy to generate H4 homogenously
and site-specifically sumoylated at Lys-12 (suH4ss). Chromatin compaction and
oligomerization assays with nucleosomal arrays containing suH4ss established that
SUMO-3 inhibits array folding and higher order oligomerization, which underlie
chromatin fiber formation. Moreover, the effect of sumoylation differed from that
of acetylation, and could be recapitulated with the structurally similar protein
ubiquitin. Mechanistic studies at the level of single nucleosomes revealed that,
unlike acetylation, the effect of SUMO-3 arises from the attenuation of
long-range internucleosomal interactions more than from the destabilization of a
compacted dinucleosome state. Altogether, our results present the first insight
on the direct structural effects of histone H4 sumoylation and reveal a novel
mechanism by which SUMO-3 inhibits chromatin compaction.
