TRIM66 protein has an N-terminal tripartite motif and a C-terminal PHD Bromodomain. Here the authors show the specific histone modification recognition of TRIM66-PHD-Bromodomain through crystallography and biochemistry assay, and further reveal that TRIM66 recognition of certain histone modification is important for DNA damage repair in ESCs.
