Abstract:Histone modifications are critical for regulating chromatin structure and gene expression. Dysregulation of histone modifications likely contributes to disease states and cancer. Depletion of the chromatin-binding protein BRWD3, a known substrate-specificity factor of the Cul4-DDB1 E3 ubiquitin ligase complex, results in increased in H3K4me1 levels. The underlying mechanism linking BRWD3 and H3K4 methylation, however, has yet to be defined. Here, we show that depleting BRWD3 not only causes an increase in H3K4… Show more
