Epigenetic Reader Domain

Epigenetic regulators of gene expression and chromatin state include so-called writers, erasers, and readers of chromatin modifications.Well-characterized examples of reader domains include bromodomains typically binding acetyllysine and chromatin organization modifier (chromo), malignant brain tumor (MBT), plant homeodomain (PHD), and Tudor domains generally associating with methyllysine. Research on epigenetic readers has been tremendously influenced by the discovery of selective inhibitors targeting the bromodomain and extraterminal motif (BET) family of acetyl-lysine readers. The human genome encodes 46 proteins containing 61 bromodomains clustered into eight families. Distinct experimental approaches are used to identify the first BET inhibitors, GSK 525762A and (+)-JQ-1.

The Polycomb group (PcG) protein, enhancer of zeste homologue 2 (EZH2), has an essential role in promoting histone H3 lysine 27 trimethylation (H3K27me3) and epigenetic gene silencing. This function of EZH2 is important for cell proliferation and inhibition of cell differentiation, and is implicated in cancer progression. Cyclin-dependent kinases regulate epigenetic gene silencing through phosphorylation of EZH2. In many types of cancers including lymphomas and leukemia, EZH2 is postulated to exert its oncogenic effects via aberrant histone and DNA methylation, causing silencing of tumor suppressor genes.

p300/CBP is not only a transcriptional adaptor but also a histone acetyltransferase.

    Curcumin-d6
    Inhibitor 99.78%
    Curcumin-d6 (Diferuloylmethane-d6 ) is deuterium labeled Curcumin (HY-N0005). Curcumin (Diferuloylmethane), a natural phenolic compound, is a p300/CREB-binding protein-specific inhibitor of acetyltransferase, represses the acetylation of histone/nonhistone proteins and histone acetyltransferase-dependent chromatin transcription. Curcumin is a photosensitizer against microorganisms. Curcumin shows inhibitory effects on NF-κB and MAPKs, and has diverse pharmacologic effects including anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antiproliferative and antiangiogenic activities. Curcumin induces stabilization of Nrf2 protein through Keap1 cysteine modification.

    Molibresib besylate
    Inhibitor
    Molibresib besylate (GSK 525762C; I-BET 762 besylate) is an orally active pan-BET inhibitor that targets and binds to BRD2, BRD3, BRD4 and BRDT. By competitively occupying acetylated lysine binding sites, Molibresib besylate disrupts the interaction between BET proteins and chromatin, thereby effectively inhibiting MYC expression and target gene transcription. Molibresib besylate exhibits broad antiproliferative activity, which not only inhibits cancer cell growth and induces growth arrest, but also downregulates mitosis-related genes and upregulates the level of p-ERK1/2. When combined with MEK inhibitors, Molibresib besylate shows a significant synergistic effect, reduces tumor burden in mouse models of leukemia, modulates the immune microenvironment and prolongs survival. Molibresib besylate is widely applicable to research related to acute myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, triple-negative breast cancer, small-cell lung cancer and various advanced refractory solid tumors.
