TP53 R249S mutation in hepatic organoids captures the predisposing cancer risk
The systematic approach in elucidating the gain‐of‐function (GOF) roles of TP53 mutations in early liver carcinogenesis. Unique downstream targets of TP53 L3 mutations were identified from chormatin immunoprecipitation sequencing in HCC cell lines, followed by a series of validation assays to substantiate the exclusive transcriptional regulations ...

Rational design, synthesis and in vitro evaluation of cell-active chemical probes for bromodomain-containing proteins Alessandra [PDF]
2018 - 2019Bromodomains (BRDs) are epigenetic readers able to selectively recognize the acetylated lysine residues on histone and non-histone proteins.

Duality in bromodomain-containing protein complexes [PDF]
Proteins that contain a motif called a bromodomain are implicated in both transcriptional activation and repression. The bromodomain of p/CAF, the only solution structure of a bromodomain that has been solved to date, reveals that the motif binds N-acetyl-lysine groups, presumably to anchor enzymatic functions to histones and by extension to chromatin.

Bromodomain-Containing Protein 2 gene in photosensitive epilepsy [PDF]
Photosensitive epilepsy (PSE) is a form of reflex epilepsy characterized by seizures triggered by light. Genetic factors play an important role and some studies have indicated a possible role of the bromodomain-containing protein 2 (BRD2) gene. Our aim was to investigate the relationship between PSE and mutations of the BRD2 gene.Fifty-four PSE ...

Genome-wide analysis of bromodomain gene family in Arabidopsis and rice
The bromodomain-containing proteins (BRD-proteins) belongs to family of ‘epigenetic mark readers’, integral to epigenetic regulation. The BRD-members contain a conserved ‘bromodomain’ (BRD/BRD-fold: interacts with acetylated-lysine in histones), and ...

BRD3 (bromodomain containing 3) [PDF]
BRD3 is a ubiquitously expressed member of the bromodomain and extraterminal motif (BET) family of proteins that use their tandem N-terminal bromodomains to associate with acetylated histones and transcription factors.

Androgen Receptor Deregulation Drives Bromodomain-Mediated Chromatin Alterations in Prostate Cancer
Global changes in chromatin accessibility may drive cancer progression by reprogramming transcription factor (TF) binding. In addition, histone acetylation readers such as bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) have been shown to associate with these ...

Integrated genomic analysis of the 8q24 amplification in endometrial cancers identifies ATAD2 as essential to MYC-dependent cancers. [PDF]
Chromosome 8q24 is the most commonly amplified region across multiple cancer types, and the typical length of the amplification suggests that it may target additional genes to MYC.
