Wang et al. have now found that a PHD finger–containing (but not a PHD finger–lacking) isoform of the JARID1A-NUP98 fusion protein functions as a leukemic oncogene in cells and in mice. Structural analysis showed that the PHD finger binds the trimethylated lysine residue in a hydrophobic pocket bordered by two tryptophan residues. Mutation of these tryptophan residues disrupted H3K4me3 binding in vitro and in cells and prevented the oncogenic activity of the fusion protein. In further support of the functional importance of the PHD finger, fusion of NUP98 to other PHD fingers that recognize H3K4me3 resulted in an analogous oncogenic phenotype.
1a, Supplementary Methods and Supplementary Figs. 5 and 6 online). We established the structure of 2 by 1H NMR, 13C NMR, MS and IR spectra, which also confirmed the structure of toxin 1. Next, to investigate the toxicity of some congeners, we synthesized compounds 1, 4 and 5 (Scheme 1, Supplementary Methods and Supplementary Figs. 7–10 online) according to a reported procedure15, with a slight modification: ethyl diazoacetate (6) was added to the corresponding acetylene derivatives, 7, 8 and 9, in the presence of Rh2(OAc)4.
