PBRM1 acts as a p53 lysine-acetylation reader to suppress renal tumor growth

Abstract

Acetylation of p53 is critical for its transcriptional activity and its tumour suppressive function. Here, the authors show that PBRM1 is a reader protein for p53′s C-terminal domain acetylation on lysine 382 through its bromodomain 4 and that mutations in this domain leads to compromised tumour suppressive function and renal tumour growth.
