Abstract Lysine acetylation is a charge‐neutralizing post‐translational modification of proteins bound by bromodomains (Brds). A 1,2,4‐triazole amino acid (ApmTri) was established as acetyllysine (Kac) mimic recruiting Brds the BET family in contrast to glutamine commonly used for simulating this modification. Optimization triazole substituents and side chain spacing allowed Brd recruitment ApmTri‐containing peptides with affinities similar native substrates. Crystal structures complex two revealed binding mode which mirrored that Kac ligands. ApmTri genetically encoded recombinant co‐enriched BRD3(2) from cellular lysates. This interaction blocked inhibitor JQ1. With ApmTri, biochemistry now provided stable reflecting charge neutralization recruitment, allowing new investigations into vitro vivo.

Nod-like receptor family pyrin-containing protein 3 (NLRP3) inflammasome plays a pathologic role in metabolic dysfunction-associated steatohepatitis (MASH), but the molecular mechanism regulating NLRP3 activation hepatocellular lipotoxicity remains largely unknown. Bromodomain-containing 4 (BRD4) has emerged as key epigenetic reader of acetylated lysine residues enhancer regions that control transcription genes. The aim this study is to investigate if and how BRD4 regulated pyroptosis MASH. Using AML12 primary mouse hepatocytes stimulated by palmitic acid (PA) an vitro model lipotoxicity, we found targeting genetic knockdown or selective inhibitor MS417 protected against hepatosteatosis; protective effect was attributed inhibiting reducing expression Caspase-1, gasdermin D (GSDMD), interleukin (IL)-1β IL-6. Moreover, inhibition limited voltage-dependent anion channel-1 (VDAC1) oligomerization PA-treated hepatocytes, thereby suppressing activation. Additionally, enhanced MASH livers humans. Mechanistically, upregulated during turn modulated active mark H3K27ac at promoter Vdac Gsdmd genes, enhancing VDAC GSDMD. Altogether, our data provide novel insights into mechanisms underlying activating promoting GSDMD-mediated lipotoxicity. Thus, might serve therapeutic target for treatment

Gastric cancer (GC) remains a significant public health concern because of its lethality, underscoring the need for deeper insights into molecular mechanisms. Recent studies have increasingly highlighted role epigenetic modifications as critical players in progression. Despite their importance, research specifically addressing factors GC is relatively scarce. This paper seeks to bridge that gap by examining recent literature elucidates landscape associated with GC. The investigation long noncoding RNAs (lncRNAs) has revealed substantial involvement gene dysregulation and alterations within tumors. Notably, lncRNAs such LINC00853 LINC01266 been identified contributors modulation expression. Furthermore, overexpression
