ABSTRACT
Mitotic genome-bookmarking preserves epigenetic information, re-establishing progenitor's gene expression profile through transcription factors, chromatin remodelers, and histone modifiers, thereby regulating cell fate and lineage commitment post-mitotically in progeny cells. Our recent study revealed that the constitutive association of VDR with mitotic chromatin involves its DNA-binding domain. However, amino acid residues in this domain, crucial for genome bookmarking, remain elusive. This study demonstrates that nuclear localization signal (NLS) residues between 49 and 55 amino acids in VDR are essential for receptor-chromatin interaction during mitosis. Furthermore, it is revealed that both bipartite nature of VDR-NLS region and N-terminally located positively charged arginine residues are critical for its 'genome-bookmarking' property. Since mitotic chromatin association of heterodimeric partner RXR depends on VDR-chromatin association, interventions in VDR binding also abort RXR-chromatin interaction. Overall, this study documents the mechanistic details underlying VDR-chromatin interactions in genome-bookmarking behavior, potentially aiding in comprehending VDR-mediated diseases attributed to certain SNPs.
