Gao et al. study the relationship between AFF4 and acetylated histone H3K27 in the context of estrogen receptor alpha signaling. They use a series of pull down assays, genetic backgrounds, and global sequencing analysis and show that AFF4 binds to H2K27ac at promoters and influences the ER alpha signaling and breast cancer cell growth.
