Cat.No.:  PE-3652
Product Name:  Recombinant BRD4 (44-460) protein
Product Overview:  The protein corresponding to amino acids 44 - 460 that contains two Bromo domains of BRD4 (accession number NP_490597.1) was expressed in E. coli cells and contains an N-terminal His tag and a C-terminal FLAG tag. The molecular weight of BRD4 (44-460) is 51.6 kDa. It shows binding specificity for acetylated H3K9, H3K9/ K14, H4K5, H4K8, H4K12, H4K5/K8, H4K5/K12, H4K8/K12, H4K12/K16, H4K12/K16/K20 and H4K5/K8/K12/K16, as well as acetylated RelA-K310.
Background:  Bromodomain-containing protein 4 (BRD4) belongs to the BET subclass of proteins, which are characterized by two N-terminal bromodomains and one ET (Extra Terminal) domain. BRDs associate with chromatin through their bromodomains that recognize acetylated histone lysine residues. Bromodomains function as ‘readers’ of these epigenetic histone marks and regulate chromatin structure and gene expression by linking associated proteins to the acetylated nucleosomal targets. The ET domain functions as a protein binding motif and exerts atypical serine-kinase activity. The BET family consists of at least four members in mouse and human, BRD2 (also referred to as FSRG1, RING3), BRD3 (FSRG2, ORFX), BRD4 (FSRG4, MCAP/HUNK1), and BRDT (FSRG3, BRD6). BRD proteins are related to the female sterile homeotic protein gene in Drosophila, a gene required maternally for proper expression of other homeotic genes, such as Ubx, which is involved in pattern formation. BRD4 has been identified recently as a therapeutic target in many cancers, including acute myeloid leukemia, multiple myeloma, Burkitt’s lymphoma, NUT midline carcinoma, colon cancer, and breast cancer. BRD4 regulates the transcription of oncogenes, HIV, and human papilloma virus (HPV). It has been shown to bind and phosphorylate RNA pol II, which implicates its involvement in the regulation of eukaryotic transcription.
