Dihydropyridine Lactam Analogs Targeting BET Bromodomains
AbstractInhibitors of Bromodomain and Extra Terminal (BET) proteins are investigated for various therapeutic indications, but selectivity for BRD2, BRD3, BRD4, BRDT and their respective tandem bromodomains BD1 and BD2 remains suboptimal. Here we report selectivity‐focused structural modifications of previously reported dihydropyridine lactam 6 by ...

Super-enhancers and the super-enhancer reader BRD4: tumorigenic factors and therapeutic targets
Transcriptional super-enhancers and the BET bromodomain protein BRD4 are emerging as critical drivers of tumorigenesis and therapeutic targets. Characterized by substantial accumulation of histone H3 lysine 27 acetylation (H3K27ac) signals at the loci of

Binding hotspots of BAZ2B bromodomain: Histone interaction revealed by solution NMR driven docking. [PDF]
Bromodomains are epigenetic reader domains, which have come under increasing scrutiny both from academic and pharmaceutical research groups. Effective targeting of the BAZ2B bromodomain by small molecule inhibitors has been recently reported, but no ...

Epigenomic regulation of heart failure: integrating histone marks, long noncoding RNAs, and chromatin architecture. [PDF]
Epigenetic processes are known to have powerful roles in organ development across biology. It has recently been found that some of the chromatin modulatory machinery essential for proper development plays a previously unappreciated role in the ...

Exploring the Histone Acetylation Cycle in the Protozoan Model Tetrahymena thermophila
The eukaryotic histone acetylation cycle is composed of three classes of proteins, histone acetyltransferases (HATs) that add acetyl groups to lysine amino acids, bromodomain (BRD) containing proteins that are one of the most characterized of several ...

Epigenetics and chromatin remodeling play a role in lung disease [PDF]
Epigenetics is defined as heritable changes that affect gene expression without altering the DNA sequence. Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is facilitated through different mechanisms such as DNA methylation, histone modifications and RNA ...
