Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human ovarian cancer tissue labeling pan Brd4 with ab314432 at 1/2000 (0.235 ug/ml) followed by a ready to use LeicaDS9800 (Bond™ Polymer Refine Detection). Nuclear staining on human ovarian cancer (PMID : 32044108). The section was incubated with ab314432 for 30 mins at room temperature. The immunostaining was performed on a Leica Biosystems BOND® RX instrument. Incubate slides with 3% Hydrogen Peroxide for 10 mins at room temperature after secondary antibody incubation to reduce the background. Counterstained with Hematoxylin. Secondary antibody only control : Secondary antibody is a ready to use LeicaDS9800 (Bond™ Polymer Refine Detection). Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed with Tris-EDTA buffer (pH 9.0, Epitope Retrieval Solution2) for 20 mins.

Supplementary information

Pan Brd4 also known as bromodomain-containing protein 4 belongs to the BET family. This protein often acts as an epigenetic reader recognizing acetylated lysine residues on histone tails. Brd4 has two bromodomains which contribute to its function in regulating gene expression by facilitating the assembly of transcriptional complexes. The Brd4 molecular weight varies depending on its isoforms with the short form around 75 kDa and the long form approximately 150 kDa. Brd4 is expressed widely across various tissues including the heart brain and testis.
Biological function summary

Brd4 plays an essential role in transcriptional regulation and control of gene expression. It interacts with multiple transcription factors and serves as a critical component of the super-enhancer complex where it aids in the recruitment of RNA polymerase II. Brd4 links the chromatin environment to transcription machinery facilitating transitions from chromatin condensation to active transcription. Furthermore Brd4 involvement extends to the regulation of cell cycle progression and mitotic bookmarking ensuring the retention of transcriptional memory through cell divisions.

Pathways

Brd4 integrates into vital cellular processes influencing inflammation and cancer pathways. In the context of the inflammatory pathway Brd4 associates with NF-kB a significant transcription factor in immune response regulation. For cancer pathways Brd4 influences MYC a well-recognized oncogene by driving its expression and subsequent cellular proliferation. These interactions highlight Brd4 as a prominent node in transcription regulation connecting to significant proteins involved in cellular growth and inflammation responses.

Brd4 significance emerges in cancer and cardiovascular diseases. In cancer such as acute myeloid leukemia Brd4 aberrantly regulates MYC resulting in uncontrolled cell proliferation and tumor growth. The connection here with MYC underpins Brd4's pivotal role in oncogenesis. In cardiovascular conditions Brd4 influences inflammatory gene expression contributing to pathologies like atherosclerosis. These roles make Brd4 a target for therapeutic development with inhibitors being investigated for their potential in treating cancers and inflammatory disorders associated with this protein.

Target data

Chromatin reader protein that recognizes and binds acetylated histones and plays a key role in transmission of epigenetic memory across cell divisions and transcription regulation (PubMed : 20871596, PubMed : 23086925, PubMed : 23317504, PubMed : 29176719, PubMed : 29379197). Remains associated with acetylated chromatin throughout the entire cell cycle and provides epigenetic memory for postmitotic G1 gene transcription by preserving acetylated chromatin status and maintaining high-order chromatin structure (PubMed : 22334664, PubMed : 23317504, PubMed : 23589332). During interphase, plays a key role in regulating the transcription of signal-inducible genes by associating with the P-TEFb complex and recruiting it to promoters (PubMed : 16109376, PubMed : 16109377, PubMed : 19596240, PubMed : 23589332, PubMed : 24360279). Also recruits P-TEFb complex to distal enhancers, so called anti-pause enhancers in collaboration with JMJD6 (PubMed : 16109376, PubMed : 16109377, PubMed : 19596240, PubMed : 23589332, PubMed : 24360279). BRD4 and JMJD6 are required to form the transcriptionally active P-TEFb complex by displacing negative regulators such as HEXIM1 and 7SKsnRNA complex from P-TEFb, thereby transforming it into an active form that can then phosphorylate the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (PubMed : 16109376, PubMed : 16109377, PubMed : 19596240, PubMed : 23589332, PubMed : 24360279). Regulates differentiation of naive CD4(+) T-cells into T-helper Th17 by promoting recruitment of P-TEFb to promoters (By similarity). Promotes phosphorylation of 'Ser-2' of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II (PubMed : 23086925). According to a report, directly acts as an atypical protein kinase and mediates phosphorylation of 'Ser-2' of the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II; these data however need additional evidences in vivo (PubMed : 22509028). In addition to acetylated histones, also recognizes and binds acetylated RELA, leading to further recruitment of the P-TEFb complex and subsequent activation of NF-kappa-B (PubMed : 19103749). Also acts as a regulator of p53/TP53-mediated transcription : following phosphorylation by CK2, recruited to p53/TP53 specific target promoters (PubMed : 23317504).. Isoform B. Acts as a chromatin insulator in the DNA damage response pathway. Inhibits DNA damage response signaling by recruiting the condensin-2 complex to acetylated histones, leading to chromatin structure remodeling, insulating the region from DNA damage response by limiting spreading of histone H2AX/H2A.x phosphorylation.
