During development, cellular differentiation programs need tight regulation for proper display of the activity of multiple factors in time and space. Chromatin adaptors of the BET family (Brd2, Brd3, Brd4 and Brdt in vertebrates) are transcription co-regulators tightly associated with the progression of the cell cycle.

New mechanism of chromatin compartmentalization by BRD2
The molecular mechanism underlying 3D genome compartmentalization remains a mystery. Xie et al. found that the bromodomain and extraterminal (BET) family scaffold protein BRD2 promotes the compartmentalization of the accessible chromatin domains after cohesin loss.

Brd2 belongs to the BET family of epigenetic transcriptional co-regulators that act as adaptor-scaffolds for the assembly of chromatin-modifying complexes and other factors at target gene promoters. Brd2 is a protooncogene and candidate gene for juvenile

BRD2 inhibition blocks SARS-CoV-2 infection by reducing transcription of the host cell receptor ACE2 [PDF]
SARS-CoV-2 infection of human cells is initiated by the binding of the viral Spike protein to its cell-surface receptor ACE2. We conducted a targeted CRISPRi screen to uncover druggable pathways controlling Spike protein binding to human cells.

HDAC11 Suppresses the Thermogenic Program of Adipose Tissue via BRD2 [PDF]
Abstract Little is known about the biological function of histone deacetylase 11 (HDAC11), which is the lone class IV HDAC. Here, we demonstrate that deletion of HDAC11 in mice stimulates brown adipose tissue (BAT) formation and beiging of white adipose tissue (WAT).

Histone acetylation-dependent clustering of BRD2 instructs transcription dynamics. [PDF]
Abstract Bromodomain (BD) and extra-terminal domain (BET) proteins are key regulators of RNA polymerase II (Pol II)-mediated transcription and their BDs represent promising drug targets. Yet, the interplay between histone acetylation and the chromatin dynamics of individual BET proteins with respect to transcriptional regulation is ...

Brd2 is dispensable for genome compartmentalization and replication timing
ABSTRACT Replication Timing (RT) refers to the temporal order in which the genome is replicated during S phase. Early replicating regions correlate with the transcriptionally active, accessible euchromatin (A) compartment, while late replicating regions correlate with the heterochromatin (B) compartment and repressive histone marks ...
