The activation of BRWD3 is understood to be modulated through its interactions with chromatin, which are influenced by the presence of specific epigenetic marks such as acetylation and methylation. For example, HDAC inhibitors like Panobinostat increase the acetylation levels on histones, which can facilitate the binding of BRWD3's bromodomain to these marks, thereby activating its role in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional regulation. Similarly, DNMT inhibitors, such as 5-Aza-2'-deoxycytidine, reduce methylation levels on DNA, potentially augmenting the activity of BRWD3 in gene regulation by allowing it greater access to chromatin regions that are generally repressed when methylated.
Other compounds, such as EZH2 inhibitors (GSK343), indirectly activate BRWD3 by reducing the presence of repressive methyl marks (H3K27me3), which are associated with condensed, inactive chromatin. Their reduction potentially facilitates a chromatin state that BRWD3 can bind to more effectively, thus participating in the transcriptional activation of genes. Additionally, BET bromodomain inhibitors (CPI-0610, PFI-1) function by competitively inhibiting other bromodomain proteins, which can lead to increased availability of acetylated histones for BRWD3, potentially enhancing its activity in the chromatin context.
