FunctionCECR2_HUMAN Part of the CERF (CECR2-containing-remodeling factor) complex, which facilitates the perturbation of chromatin structure in an ATP-dependent manner. May be involved through its interaction with LRPPRC in the integration of cytoskeletal network with vesicular trafficking, nucleocytosolic shuttling, transcription, chromosome remodeling and cytokinesis.[1] Publication Abstract from PubMedThe biological function of bromodomains, epigenetic readers of acetylated lysine residues, remains largely unknown. Herein we report our efforts to discover a potent and selective inhibitor of the bromodomain of cat eye syndrome chromosome region candidate 2 (CECR2). Screening of our internal medicinal chemistry collection led to the identification of a pyrrolopyridone chemical lead, and subsequent structure-based drug design led to a potent and selective CECR2 bromodomain inhibitor (GNE-886) suitable for use as an in vitro tool compound. GNE-886: A Potent and Selective Inhibitor of the Cat Eye Syndrome Chromosome Region Candidate 2 Bromodomain (CECR2).,Crawford TD, Audia JE, Bellon S, Burdick DJ, Bommi-Reddy A, Cote A, Cummings RT, Duplessis M, Flynn EM, Hewitt M, Huang HR, Jayaram H, Jiang Y, Joshi S, Kiefer JR, Murray J, Nasveschuk CG, Neiss A, Pardo E, Romero FA, Sandy P, Sims RJ 3rd, Tang Y, Taylor AM, Tsui V, Wang J, Wang S, Wang Y, Xu Z, Zawadzke L, Zhu X, Albrecht BK, Magnuson SR, Cochran AG ACS Med Chem Lett. 2017 Jun 1;8(7):737-741. doi: 10.1021/acsmedchemlett.7b00132. , eCollection 2017 Jul 13.
