Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) of proteins play critical roles in regulating many cellular events. Antibodies targeting site-specific PTMs are essential tools for detecting and enriching PTMs at sites of interest. However, fundamental difficulties in molecular recognition of both PTM and surrounding peptide sequence have hindered the efficient generation of highly sequence-specific anti-PTM antibodies.

Introduction: Histone modifications are crucial epigenetic mechanisms for regulating gene expression. Histone acetyltransferases and deacetylases (HDACs) catalyze histone acetylation, a process that mediates transcription. Over recent decades, studies have demonstrated that targeting histone acetylation can be effective in cancer treatment, leading to the development and approval of several HDAC inhibitors.

Chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD) is characterized by progressive and incurable airflow obstruction and chronic inflammation. Both TGF-β1 and CXCL8 have been well described as fundamental to COPD progression. DNA methylation and histone acetylation, which are well-understood epigenetic mechanisms regulating gene expression, are associated with COPD progression.

Background: Glioblastoma (GBM) is the most common primary brain tumor in adults and has a median survival of less than 15 months. Advancements in the field of epigenetics have expanded our understanding of cancer biology and helped explain the molecular heterogeneity of these tumors. B-cell-specific Moloney murine leukemia virus insertion site-1 (Bmi-1) is a member of the highly conserved polycomb group (PcG) protein family that acts as a transcriptional repressor of multiple genes, including those that determine cell proliferation and differentiation.

Background: CREB binding protein (CREBBP) is a key epigenetic regulator, altered in a fifth of relapsed cases of acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL). Selectively targeting epigenetic signaling may be an effective novel therapeutic approach to overcome drug resistance. Anti-tumor effects have previously been demonstrated for GSK-J4, a selective H3K27 histone demethylase inhibitor, in several animal models of cancers.
