Epigenetics has been defined as 'the structural adaptation of chromosomal regions so as to
register, signal or perpetuate altered activity states.'Currently, several classes of anticancer …

Lysine acetylation is a key mechanism that regulates chromatin structure; aberrant
acetylation levels have been linked to the development of several diseases. Acetyl-lysine …

The bromodomain (BrD) is a conserved structural module found in chromatin-and
transcription-associated proteins that acts as the primary reader for acetylated lysine …

Since their discovery in the 1980s and 1990s, the human protein lysine acetyltransferase
encoded by the paralogous p300 and CBP genes has received much interest. p300/CBP …

Histone lysine acetylation is critical in regulating transcription. Dysregulation of this process
results in aberrant gene expression in various diseases, including cancer. The …

Aberrations in the epigenetic landscape are a hallmark of cancer. Alterations in enzymes
that are “writers,”“erasers,” or “readers” of histone modification marks are common …

Bromodomains have emerged as attractive candidates for the development of inhibitors
targeting gene transcription. Inhibitors of the bromo and extraterminal (BET) family recently …

A plethora of groundbreaking studies have demonstrated the importance of chromatin-
associated proteins and post-translational modifications of histones, proteins and DNA (so …

Heart failure (HF) is driven by the interplay between regulatory transcription factors and
dynamic alterations in chromatin structure. Pathologic gene transactivation in HF is …

Purpose: In cancer cells, the epigenome is often deregulated, and inhibition of the
bromodomain and extra-terminal (BET) family of bromodomain-containing proteins is a …
