摘要
It has recently been demonstrated that bromodomains - motifs found in several eukaryotic transcription factors - bind to acetyl-lysine, a modification of histones that is important for transcription. This finding suggests that the regulatory effects of histone acetylation may be exerted by bromodomain-containing proteins.
