Abstract
Epigenetic regulation of gene expression is a dynamic and reversible process that establishes normal cellular phenotypes but also contributes to human diseases. At the molecular level, epigenetic regulation involves hierarchical covalent modification of DNA and the proteins that package DNA, such as histones. Here, we review the key protein families that mediate epigenetic signalling through the acetylation and methylation of histones, including histone deacetylases, protein methyltransferases, lysine demethylases, bromodomain-containing proteins and proteins that bind to methylated histones. These protein families are emerging as druggable classes of enzymes and druggable classes of protein–protein interaction domains. In this article, we discuss the known links with disease, basic molecular mechanisms of action and recent progress in the pharmacological modulation of each class of proteins.
表观遗传学蛋白质家族:对药物发现一个新前沿
摘要
基因表达表观遗传学的调节是确定正常细胞表型一个动力学和可逆过程但对人类疾病有贡献。在分子水平上,表观遗传学调节涉及分层的共价修饰DNA和包装DNA蛋白质,例如组蛋白。在此,我们综述了通过关键组蛋白乙酰化作用和甲基化作用蛋白质家族介导表观遗传学信号,这些包括组蛋白去乙酰化酶,蛋白质甲基转移酶,赖氨酸去甲基化酶,溴结构区-含蛋白和结合至甲基化组蛋白的蛋白质.这些蛋白质家族是出现如酶可成药的类别和蛋白–蛋白相互作用结构区的可成药类别。在本文中,我们讨论了与疾病已知连接,基本分子学作用机制和蛋白质的各个类别的药理学调节中最近进展。
