DNA replication ensures the accurate transmission of genetic information during the cell cycle. Histone variant H2A.Z is crucial for early replication origins licensing and activation in which SUV420H1 preferentially recognizes H2A.Z-nucleosome and deposits H4 lysine 20 dimethylation (H4K20me2) on replication origins. Here, we report the cryo-EM structures of SUV420H1 bound to H2A.Z-nucleosome or H2A-nucleosome and demonstrate that SUV420H1 directly interacts with H4 N-terminal tail, the DNA, and the acidic patch in the nucleosome. The H4 (1-24) forms a lasso-shaped structure that stabilizes the SUV420H1-nucleosome complex and precisely projects the H4K20 residue into the SUV420H1 catalytic center. In vitro and in vivo analyses reveal a crucial role of the SUV420H1 KR loop (residues 214-223), which lies close to the H2A.Z-specific residues D97/S98, in H2A.Z-nucleosome preferential recognition. Together, our findings elucidate how SUV420H1 recognizes nucleosomes to ensure site-specific H4K20me2 modification and provide insights into how SUV420H1 preferentially recognizes H2A.Z nucleosome.

Early childhood exposure to general anaesthesia has been linked to potential changes in infant brain morphology and behaviour in preclinical studies, contributing to long-term behaviours associated with autism spectrum disorder. This study investigates the association between early childhood exposure to general anaesthesia and the risk of autism, using a population-based cohort study with matching for baseline characteristics and evaluates the effect of sevoflurane exposure on autism-like behaviour in mice, using the Taiwan Maternal and Child Health Database. Children aged 0-3 who received at least one exposure to general anaesthesia between 2004 and 2014 were matched 1:1 with children who were not exposed.

Yet, abnormal repair of DSBs is associated with genomic instability and may contribute to cancer heterogeneity and tumour evolution. Here, we show that DSBs induced by IR, by DSB-inducing chemotherapeutics, or by the expression of a rare-cutting restriction endonuclease induce large-scale genomic amplification in human cancer cells.

A long CGG-repeat tract in the gene induces the epigenetic silencing that causes fragile X syndrome (FXS). Epigenetic changes include H4K20 trimethylation, a heterochromatic modification frequently implicated in transcriptional silencing. Here, we report that treatment with A-196, an inhibitor of SUV420H1/H2, the enzymes responsible for H4K20 di-/trimethylation, does not affect transcription, but does result in increased chromosomal duplications.

Hepatocellular carcinoma (HCC) has a high rate of recurrence and poor prognosis, even after curative surgery. Multikinase inhibitors have been applied for HCC patients, but their effect has been restricted. This study aims to clarify the clinical impact of SUV420H1/KMT5B, one of the methyltransferases for histone H4 at lysine 20, and elucidate the novel mechanisms of HCC progression.
