Acetyllysine-binding and function of bromodomain-containing proteins in chromatin.

Abstract excerpt

Acetylated histones are generally associated with active chromatin. The bromodomain has recently been identified as a protein module capable of binding to acetylated lysine residues, and hence is able to mediate the recruitment of factors to acetylated chromatin. Functional studies of bromodomain-containing proteins indicate how this domain contributes to the activity of a number of nuclear factors including...
