The H3K4 methyltransferase SETD1A plays a crucial role in leukemia cell survival through the recruitment of cyclin K and regulation of DNA damage response genes. The FLOS domain of SETD1A interacts with mitosis-associated proteins BuGZ/BUB3 and inhibition of both cyclin K and BuGZ/BUB3-binding motifs in SETD1A shows synergistic antileukemic effects. BuGZ/BUB3 localize to SETD1A-bound promoter-TSS regions and SETD1A-negative H3K4me1-positive enhancer regions, and their interaction with SETD1A is required for leukemia cell proliferation.
The H3K4 methyltransferase SETD1A plays a crucial role in leukemia cell survival through its noncatalytic FLOS domain-mediated recruitment of cyclin K and regulation of DNA damage response genes. In this study, we identify a functional nuclear localization signal in and interaction partners of the FLOS domain. Our screen for FLOS domain-binding partners reveals that the SETD1A FLOS domain binds mitosis-associated proteins BuGZ/BUB3. Inhibition of both cyclin K and BuGZ/BUB3-binding motifs in SETD1A shows synergistic antileukemic effects. BuGZ/BUB3 localize to SETD1A-bound promoter-TSS regions and SETD1A-negative H3K4me1-positive enhancer regions adjacent to SETD1A target genes. The GLEBS motif and intrinsically disordered region of BuGZ are required for both SETD1A-binding and leukemia cell proliferation. Cell-cycle-specific SETD1A restoration assays indicate that SETD1A expression at the G1/S phase of the cell cycle promotes both the expression of DNA damage response genes and cell cycle progression in leukemia cells.
