Bromodomains: pockets with therapeutic potential
Intense interest in the complex biology of the bromodomain (BRD) protein modules has fueled the development of novel small molecule inhibitors that target the acetyl-lysine (KAc) binding pocket of the BRD. BRD inhibition has revealed exciting opportunities for treating a variety of maladies such as cancer, inflammation, obesity, cardiovascular disease,

Chemical synthesis of the ATAD2 bromodomain [PDF]
Significance The bromodomain–histone binding motif has been shown to read epigenetic marks on chromatin, and proteins with a bromodomain can have powerful effects on gene expression and transcriptional regulation. ATAD2 is one such protein and has been linked to a wide variety of cancers with expression of ATAD2 correlating strongly with a ...

Central role of Yes-associated protein and WW-domain-containing transcriptional co-activator with PDZ-binding motif in pancreatic cancer development. [PDF]
Pancreatic ductal adenocarcinoma (PDAC) remains a deadly disease with no efficacious treatment options. PDAC incidence is projected to increase, which may be caused at least partially by the obesity epidemic.
