Disease
[BRD4_HUMAN] Note=A chromosomal aberration involving BRD4 is found in a rare, aggressive, and lethal carcinoma arising in midline organs of young people. Translocation t(15;19)(q14;p13) with NUT which produces a BRD4-NUT fusion protein.[1] [2]
Function
[BRD4_HUMAN] Plays a role in a process governing chromosomal dynamics during mitosis (By similarity).
Publication Abstract from PubMed
Simple 1-substituted 5- and 6-isoxazolyl-benzimidazoles have been shown to be potent inhibitors of the BET bromodomains with selectivity over the related bromodomain of CBP. The reported inhibitors were prepared from simple starting materials in two steps followed by separation of the regioisomers or regioselectively in three steps.
The design and synthesis of 5- and 6-isoxazolylbenzimidazoles as selective inhibitors of the BET bromodomains.,Hay D, Fedorov O, Filippakopoulos P, Martin S, Philpott M, Picaud S, Hewings DS, Uttakar S, Heightman TD, Conway SJ, Knapp S, Brennan PE Medchemcomm. 2013 Jan 1;4(1):140-144. doi: 10.1039/C2MD20189E.
