BET Protein-Mediated Transcriptional Regulation in Heart Failure [PDF]
Heart failure is a complex disease process with underlying aberrations in neurohormonal systems that promote dysregulated cellular signaling and gene transcription. Over the past 10 years, the advent of small-molecule inhibitors that target transcriptional machinery has demonstrated the importance of the bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) family of ...

Bromodomain protein BRD4 is an epigenetic activator of B7-H6 expression in acute myeloid leukemia
B7-H6, a ligand for the NK activating receptor NKp30, has been identified as a biomarker of poor prognosis in several solid cancers. However, little is known about the role of B7-H6 and the mechanisms that control its expression in acute myeloid leukemia

BET Epigenetic Reader Proteins in Cardiovascular Transcriptional Programs [PDF]
Epigenetic mechanisms involve the placing (writing) or removal (erasing) of histone modifications that allow heterochromatin to transition to the open, activated euchromatin state necessary for transcription. A third, less studied epigenetic pathway involves the reading of these specific histone marks once placed.

BET Bromodomain Inhibitors: Novel Design Strategies and Therapeutic Applications
The mammalian bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) family of proteins consists of four conserved members (Brd2, Brd3, Brd4, and Brdt) that regulate numerous cancer-related and immunity-associated genes.

Roles of Bromodomain Extra Terminal Proteins in Metabolic Signaling and Diseases
BET proteins, which recognize and bind to acetylated histones, play a key role in transcriptional regulation. The development of chemical BET inhibitors in 2010 greatly facilitated the study of these proteins.

BET Bromodomain Proteins as Cancer Therapeutic Targets [PDF]
Epigenetic regulators are emerging therapeutic targets in a wide variety of human cancers. BET bromodomain proteins have been identified as key regulators of oncogenic transcription factors including MYC; therefore, their inhibition might provide a way to block these "undruggable" targets.

BET protein Brd4 activates transcription in neurons and BET inhibitor Jq1 blocks memory in mice [PDF]
Precise regulation of transcription is crucial for the cellular mechanisms underlying memory formation. However, the link between neuronal stimulation and the proteins that directly interact with histone modifications to activate transcription in neurons remains unclear. Brd4 is a member of the bromodomain and extra-terminal domain (BET) protein family,
