| dc.description | Heterochromatin is essential for nuclear integrity, genome stability, and gene regulation. However, the mechanisms governing heterochromatin compartmentalization remain poorly understood. Recent studies suggest that phase separation underlies the organization of heterochromatin. Here, we integrated quantitative spatial proteomics, phase separation assays, and phase separation prediction tools to identify and characterize candidate phase separation scaffold proteins involved in heterochromatin compartmentalization. We in vitro reconstituted phase-separated heterochromatin condensates using heterochromatin fractions isolated from mouse brain. Mass spectrometric analysis yielded around 1000 proteins within them from which 250 were predicted to have scaffold phase separation properties using machine learning-based phase separation protein prediction tools. From these, 20 proteins, including methyl-CpG binding domain protein 2 (MBD2), were localized to pericentric heterochromatin compartments using gene ontology annotation. We demonstrated that MBD2 undergoes liquid-liquid phase separation via coiled coil-mediated homo-oligomerization, forming liquid-like condensates that regulate heterochromatin compartmentalization. Moreover, we found that MBD2-driven phase separation excludes histone acetyltransferase and recruits histone deacetylases. This was tested and validated in cellulo by the MBD2 mediated-NuRD assembly and subsequent deacetylation of histone H3 K27 and K9 within heterochromatin. This study advances our understanding of heterochromatin compartmentalization and highlights the role of MBD2 in heterochromatin dynamics and composition functionally regulating chromatin states. | de_DE |
