Bromodomain-containing protein 4 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the BRD4 gene.[5][6]

BRD4 is a member of the BET (bromodomain and extra terminal domain) family, which also includes BRD2, BRD3, and BRDT.[7] BRD4, similar to other BET family members, contains two bromodomains that recognize acetylated lysine residues.[8] BRD4 also has an extended C-terminal domain with little sequence homology to other BET family members.[7]

Structure

[edit]

The two bromodomains in BRD4, termed BD1 and BD2, consist of 4 alpha-helices linked by 2 loops.[9] The ET domain structure is made up of 3 alpha-helices and a loop.[10] The C-terminal domain of BRD4 has been implicated in promoting gene transcription through interaction with the transcription elongation factor P-TEFb and RNA polymerase II.[11][12][13]

Function

[edit]

The protein encoded by this gene is homologous to the murine protein MCAP, which associates with chromosomes during mitosis, and to the human BRD2 (RING3) protein, a serine/threonine kinase. Each of these proteins contains two bromodomains, a conserved sequence motif which may be involved in chromatin targeting. This gene has been implicated as the chromosome 19 target of translocation t(15;19)(q13;p13.1), which defines the NUT midline carcinoma. Two alternatively spliced transcript variants have been described.[6]

Role in cancer

[edit]

Most cases of NUT midline carcinoma involve translocation of the BRD4 gene with NUT genes.[14] BRD4 is often required for expression of Myc and other "tumor driving" oncogenes in hematologic cancers including multiple myeloma, acute myelogenous leukemia and acute lymphoblastic leukaemia.[15]

BRD4 is a major target of BET inhibitors,[15][16] a class of pharmaceutical drugs currently being evaluated in clinical trials.

Interactions

[edit]

Notably, BRD4 interacts with P-TEFb via its P-TEFb interaction domain (PID), thereby stimulating its kinase activity and stimulating its phosphorylation of the carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II.[17] Recent review.[18]

BRD4 has been shown to interact with GATA1,[19] JMJD6,[20] RFC2,[21] RFC3,[21] RFC1,[21] RFC4[21] and RFC5.[21]

BRD4 has also been implicated in binding with the diacetylated Twist protein, and the disruption of this interaction has been shown to suppress tumorigenesis in basal-like breast cancer.[22]

BRD4 has also been shown to interact with a variety of inhibitors, such as MS417; inhibition of BRD4 with MS417 has been shown to down-regulate NF-κB activity seen in HIV-associated kidney disease.[23] BRD4 also interacts with apabetalone (RVX-208),[24] which is being evaluated for treatment of atherosclerosis and cardiovascular disease.
