General Comments
BRD4 has been reported to act as an atypical kinase, phosphorylating Ser2 present in the C-terminal domain (CTD) of RNA polymerase II, highlighting a direct role of BRD4 in transcription [6]. In certain cancers aberrant BRD4 expression mediates carcinigogenesis by hyperacetylationg the chromatin of genes involved in promoting cell proliferation. As a result, BRD4 inhibitors (and inhibitors of other BET family proteins) are being developed and investigated for therapeutic anti-cancer potential [23,26].
