Descriptions

Oncogenic chromatin remodeler ALC1 (ALC1, also known as CHD1L) is an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler that relaxes the chromatin and plays an important role in the poly(ADP-ribose) polymerase 1-mediated DNA repair pathway. The macro domain of ALC1 binds to lobe 2 of the ATPase motor, sequestering two elements for nucleosome recognition. Autoinhibition by macro domain interactions stabilizes the ATPase lobe, impacting DNA damage repair. The cancer-related mutations of several basic residues on the macro domain disrupt the autoinhibition of ALC1, compromising its function in cells. Upon DNA damage, the interaction between the macro domain and PAR chains in PARP1 can also release the autoinhibition of ALC1 and target the remodeler to the sites of DNA damage. Furthermore, the histone H4 tails of nucleosome and other nucleosomal epitopes often provide the combinational cues to target and regulate chromatin remodelers, leading to the activation of ALC1 in cells.

2 GO annotations of cellular component

Name Definition
nucleus A membrane-bounded organelle of eukaryotic cells in which chromosomes are housed and replicated. In most cells, the nucleus contains all of the cell's chromosomes except the organellar chromosomes, and is the site of RNA synthesis and processing. In some species, or in specialized cell types, RNA metabolism or DNA replication may be absent.
site of double-strand break A region of a chromosome at which a DNA double-strand break has occurred. DNA damage signaling and repair proteins accumulate at the lesion to respond to the damage and repair the DNA to form a continuous DNA helix.

8 GO annotations of molecular function

Name Definition
ATP binding Binding to ATP, adenosine 5'-triphosphate, a universally important coenzyme and enzyme regulator.
ATP hydrolysis activity Catalysis of the reaction
ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler activity An activity, driven by ATP hydrolysis, that modulates the contacts between histones and DNA, resulting in a change in chromosome architecture within the nucleosomal array, leading to chromatin remodeling.
DNA helicase activity Unwinding of a DNA helix, driven by ATP hydrolysis.
histone reader activity A chromatin adaptor that recognizes specific forms of histones, either modified by a post-translational modification, or the unmodified form. Histone readers have roles in many processes, including in centromere function or in modulating the accessibility of cis-regulatory regions to the transcription machinery.
nucleosome binding Binding to a nucleosome, a complex comprised of DNA wound around a multisubunit core and associated proteins, which forms the primary packing unit of DNA into higher order structures.
nucleotide binding Binding to a nucleotide, any compound consisting of a nucleoside that is esterified with (ortho)phosphate or an oligophosphate at any hydroxyl group on the ribose or deoxyribose.
poly-ADP-D-ribose modification-dependent protein binding Binding to a protein upon poly-ADP-ribosylation of the target protein.

3 GO annotations of biological process

Name Definition
chromatin remodeling A dynamic process of chromatin reorganization resulting in changes to chromatin structure. These changes allow DNA metabolic processes such as transcriptional regulation, DNA recombination, DNA repair, and DNA replication.
DNA damage response Any process that results in a change in state or activity of a cell (in terms of movement, secretion, enzyme production, gene expression, etc.) as a result of a stimulus indicating damage to its DNA from environmental insults or errors during metabolism.
DNA repair The process of restoring DNA after damage. Genomes are subject to damage by chemical and physical agents in the environment (e.g. UV and ionizing radiations, chemical mutagens, fungal and bacterial toxins, etc.) and by free radicals or alkylating agents endogenously generated in metabolism. DNA is also damaged because of errors during its replication. A variety of different DNA repair pathways have been reported that include direct reversal, base excision repair, nucleotide excision repair, photoreactivation, bypass, double-strand break repair pathway, and mismatch repair pathway.
