Peroxisome proliferator-activated receptor α (PPARα) regulates the transcription of fatty acid oxidation-related genes, such as carnitine palmitoyltransferase 1A (CPT1A), to maintain lipid homeostasis. Recent studies have suggested the involvement of switch/sucrose non-fermentable (SWI/SNF) complexes in nuclear receptor-mediated transcription. SWI/SNF complexes are chromatin remodeling factors classified into three complexes: canonical brahma-related gene 1-/brahma-associated factor (cBAF), polybromo BAF (PBAF), and non-canonical BAF (ncBAF).

Long-term survival of glioblastoma multiforme (GBM) remains challenging, spurring the development of novel therapies such as oncolytic virus therapy. While oncolytic virus shows promise in clinical trials, many patients do not respond to this therapy. Here, we perform a CRISPR screening and identify the non-canonical BRG1/BRM-associated factor (ncBAF) complex as a pivotal tumor-intrinsic factor for oncolytic virotherapy resistance.

A major challenge for HIV type 1 (HIV-1) cure is the presence of viral latent reservoirs. The "Shock & Kill" strategy involves the combined use of latency reversal agents (LRA) and antiretroviral treatment (ART) to reactivate HIV-1 latent reservoirs, followed by elimination of infected cells. However, current LRAs are insufficient in fully reactivating the latent reservoirs.

PROteolysis Targeting Chimera (PROTAC) technology is an innovative and potent approach for achieving targeted protein degradation (TPD). Within bromodomain-containing proteins, various degraders targeting BET family-related targets, for example, BRD4, were developed in the last years. On the other hand, a limited number of PROTACs acting against non-BET proteins were reported so far.
