description TRIM28/KAP1/TIF1β is a crucial epigenetic modifier. Genetic ablation of <i>trim28</i> is embryonic lethal, although RNAi-mediated knockdown in somatic cells yields viable cells. Reduction in TRIM28 abundance at the cellular or organismal level results in polyphenism. Posttranslational modifications such as phosphorylation and sumoylation have been shown to regulate TRIM28 activity. Moreover, several lysine residues of TRIM28 are subject to acetylation, but how acetylation of TRIM28 affects its functions remains poorly understood. Here, we report that, compared with wild-type TRIM28, the acetylation-mimic mutant TRIM28-K304Q has an altered interaction with Krüppel-associated box zinc-finger proteins (KRAB-ZNFs). The <i>TRIM28</i>-K304Q knock-in cells were created in K562 erythroleukemia cells by CRISPR-Cas9 (Clustered regularly interspaced short palindromic repeats/CRISPR-associated protein nuclease 9) gene editing method. Transcriptome analysis revealed that <i>TRIM28</i>-K304Q and <i>TRIM28</i> knockout K562 cells had similar global gene expression profiles, yet the profiles differed considerably from wild-type K562 cells. The expression levels of embryonic-related globin gene and a platelet cell marker integrin-beta 3 were increased in <i>TRIM28</i>-K304Q mutant cells, indicating the induction of differentiation. In addition to the differentiation-related genes, many zinc-finger-proteins genes and imprinting genes were activated in <i>TRIM28</i>-K304Q cells; they were inhibited by wild-type TRIM28 via binding with KRAB-ZNFs. These results suggest that acetylation/deacetylation of K304 in TRIM28 constitutes a switch for regulating its interaction with KRAB-ZNFs and alters the gene regulation as demonstrated by the acetylation mimic TRIM28-K304Q.
