The functional characterization of the BRD4-NUT fusion protein as the driver of the highly aggressive NUT Carcinoma is fundamental to the understanding of the mechanisms responsible for the genome-wide hyperacetylation of histones prior to their eviction during the final stages of sperm cells maturation. In maturing sperm cells, a major genome re-organization takes place, which includes a global increase in the acetylation of histones prior to their replacement by protamines, the latter being responsible for the tight packaging of the male genome. Understanding the function of the oncogenic BRD4-NUT fusion protein in NUT carcinoma (NC) cells has proven to be essential in uncovering the mechanisms underlying histone hyperacetylation in spermatogenic cells. Indeed, these studies have revealed the mechanism by which a cooperation between BRD4, a bromodomain factor of the BET family, NUT, a normally testis-specific factor, and the histone acetyltransferase p300, induces the generation of hyperacetylated chromatin domains which are present in NC cells. The generation of Nut ko mice enabled us to demonstrate a genetic interaction between Nut and Brdt, encoding BRDT, a testis-specific BRD4-like factor. Indeed, in spermatogenic cells, NUT and p300 interact, which results in an increased acetylation of histone H4 at both positions K5 and K8. These two positions, when both acetylated, are specifically recognized by the first bromodomain of BRDT, which then mediates the removal of histone and their replacement by protamines. Taken together, these investigations show that the fusion of NUT to BRD4 in NUT Carcinoma cells reconstitutes, in somatic cells, a functional loop, which normally drives histone hyperacetylation and chromatin binding by a BET factor in spermatogenic cells.
