Bromodomain motifs and "scaffolding"?
نویسنده
چکیده
Bromodomain-containing multiprotein complexes share some of the properties of signal transduction scaffolds. Insights from MAP kinase signaling scaffolds, for example, may provide useful perspectives for future studies of bromodomain proteins. The regulatory processes of modification (phosphorylation, acetylation, ubiquitination), turnover, nuclear compartmentalization, feedback regulation and signaling pathway specificity are all likely to contribute to the mechanisms by which bromodomain-containing multiprotein complexes control transcription.

Twenty Crystal Structures of Bromodomain and PHD Finger Containing Protein 1 (BRPF1)/Ligand Complexes Reveal Conserved Binding Motifs and Rare Interactions.
BRPF1 plays a scaffolding role in transcription. We report on fragment screening by high-throughput docking to the BRPF1 bromodomain which resulted in six chemotypes with very favorable ligand efficiency (0.45-0.50 kcal/mol per non-hydrogen atom). Twenty crystal structures of BRPF1/ligand complexes show structural conservation in the acetyllysine binding site, common binding motifs, and unusual...
متن کاملDuality in bromodomain-containing protein complexes.
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. The enzymatic activities can either be enc...
متن کاملBromodomain protein Brd3 promotes Ifnb1 transcription via enhancing IRF3/p300 complex formation and recruitment to Ifnb1 promoter in macrophages
As members of bromodomain and extra-terminal motif protein family, bromodomain-containing proteins regulate a wide range of biological processes including protein scaffolding, mitosis, cell cycle progression and transcriptional regulation. The function of these bromodomain proteins (Brds) in innate immune response has been reported but the role of Brd3 remains unclear. Here we find that virus i...
متن کاملThe bromodomain: a conserved sequence found in human, Drosophila and yeast proteins.
Identification of conserved domains or motifs in proteins may aid in the localization and analysis of important structural and functional regions. We report here a protein sequence motif, called the bromodomain (1), that has been found in six genes from humans (CCG1 and RING3), Drosophila (fsh and brm), and yeast (SPT7 and SNF2). The fsh and brm genes are required maternally for proper expressi...
متن کاملEngineered bromodomains to explore the acetylproteome.
MS-based analysis of the acetylproteome has highlighted a role for acetylation in a wide array of biological processes including gene regulation, metabolism, and cellular signaling. To date, anti-acetyllysine antibodies have been used as the predominant affinity reagent for enrichment of acetyllysine-containing peptides and proteins; however, these reagents suffer from high nonspecific binding ...
