BRPF1 Bromodomain
General description
| |||||||||
Like all known bromodomains, the BRPF1 bromodamain adopts a conserved structural fold of a left-handed bundle of four helices (αZ, αA, αB, and αC ) with the inter-helical ZA and BC loops having variable length and sequence[1][2]. This variable regions make a hydrophobic pocket constituting the binding site. 2d9e | |||||||||

Covalent modifications of histone tails play a key role in determining the outcome of many nuclear processes including transcription, DNA repair, recombination, and replication[4]. It is central to cell homeostasis, as alterations in chromatin structure contribute to the development of cancer[5] and other human diseases (For a video describing the importance of histone modifications on gene expression click here). In human, translocation of the MOZ/MORF histone acetyltransferase (HAT) complex has been linked to a subtype of acute myeloid leukemia (AML)[6]. MOZ/MORF forms tetrameric complexes with ING5 (inhibitor of growth 5), EAF6 (Esa1-associated factor 6 ortholog), and the bromodomain-PHD finger protein BRPF1, -2, or -3[7]. BRPF proteins have been shown to bridge the association of MOZ/MORF with ING5 and EAF6. Deletion mapping studies have also revealed that the acetyltransferase domain of MOZ/MORF is sufficient for BRPF1 interaction[8]. BRPF proteins therefore play a key role in assembling and activating MOZ/MORF acetyltransferase complexes. Brpf1 contains a unique combination of domains typically found in chromatin-associated factors, including PHD fingers, a bromodomain and a PWWP domain[9]. These domains help recruit MOZ/MORF to distinct sites of active chromatin. Bromodomains are highly conserved motifs generally known to bind (read) histones acetylated at their lysine residues. Despite their highly conserved αZ, αA, αB, and αC regions, variations in the αAZ and αBC regions of bromodomains help them distinguish between different acetylated lysine residues[10]. Although it may be expected that, like all known bromodomains, the BRPF1 bromodomain can recognize/read acetylated lysine, the exact modification(s) that this bromodomain can recognize are still subject to elucidation.
Structural description
Like all known bromodomains, the BRPF1 bromodamain adopts a conserved structural fold of a left-handed bundle of four helices (αZ, αA, αB, and αC ) with the inter-helical ZA and BC loops having variable length and sequence[11]. The latter loops constitute a hydrophobic pocket serving to stabilize the structure as well as to interact with the acetyl-lysine.

Structural insigts into function
Based on the observed high sequence similarity with well characterized bromodomains, the BRPF1 bromodomain may be expected to recognize/read acetylated lysine(AML)[13]. However additional studies are needed to identify the exact modifications that the BRPF1 bromodomain may recognize/read.
