BRD9

Domain

The Bromo domain mediates interaction with histones that have acetylated lysine residues at specific positions (PubMed:22464331). Also recognizes and binds histones that are butyrylated (PubMed:26365797).

Function

Plays a role in chromatin remodeling and regulation of transcription (PubMed:22464331, PubMed:26365797). Acts as a chromatin reader that recognizes and binds acylated histones: binds histones that are acetylated and/or butyrylated (PubMed:26365797). Component of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling subcomplex GBAF that carries out key enzymatic activities, changing chromatin structure by altering DNA-histone contacts within a nucleosome in an ATP-dependent manner (PubMed:29374058). Orchestrates also the RAD51-RAD54 complex formation and thereby plays a role in homologous recombination (HR) (PubMed:32457312).
