General annotation (Comments)

Function

Plays a role in a process governing chromosomal dynamics during mitosis By similarity.

Subunit structure

Associated with chromosomes during mitosis By similarity. Interacts with bovine papillomavirus type 1 regulatory protein E2. Ref.6

Subcellular location

Nucleus By similarity.

Tissue specificity

Ubiquitously expressed. Ref.4

Involvement in disease

A chromosomal aberration involving BRD4 is found in a rare, aggressive, and lethal carcinoma arising in midline organs of young people. Translocation t(15;19)(q14;p13) with NUT which produces a BRD4-NUT fusion protein. Ref.1 Ref.4

Sequence similarities

Contains 2 bromo domains.

Contains 1 NET domain.

Sequence caution

The sequence AAC27978.1 differs from that shown. Reason: Erroneous initiation.
