The BRPF1 PWWP domain has high selectivity for histone H3 Lys-36 ([[2x4w]]) that has been trimethylated (H3K36me3)<ref name="Vezzoli">PMID:20400950</ref>. The trimethyl mark at H3K36 has gained a lot attention due to its established roles is RNA splicing and developmental disorders<ref name="Paulina">PMID:19182803</ref>,<ref name="Nimura">PMID:19483677</ref>. Recognition of H3K36me3 is strongly dependent on the aromatic cage, which consists of Tyr-1096, Tyr-1099, and Phe-1147. | ||
