摘要

The FOX transcription factor family plays a pivotal role in the malignant progression of tumors. We propose a hypothesis that FOXQ1 recruits p300 and BRD4 to super-enhancer regions. Our findings indicate that p300 acetylates Lys190 of FOXQ1, resulting in its recognition and binding by BRD4. Subsequently, BRD4 recruits RNA-Pol II to form a “FOXQ1-p300-BRD4-RNA Pol II” complex, which then binds to the super-enhancers of target genes. Meanwhile, acetylation at Lys190 of FOXQ1 directly enhances its binding affinity to super-enhancers. Consequently, more target oncogenes can be transcribed to promote CRC proliferation and metastasis. Our results suggest that FOXQ1 acts as a key regulator of super-enhancers, providing insights into its role in CRC and highlighting its potential as a therapeutic target.
