p300/CBP degradation is required to disable the active AR enhanceosome in prostate cancer.

Prostate cancer is an exemplar of an enhancer-binding transcription factor-driven disease. The androgen receptor (AR) enhanceosome complex comprised of chromatin and epigenetic coregulators assembles at enhancer elements to drive disease progression. The paralog lysine acetyltransferases p300 and CBP deposit histone marks that are associated with enhancer activation.
