Overview

Mutations in EP300 are significant contributors to the pathogenesis and progression of B-cell lymphomas such as DLBCL and FL.1 This gene has some recurrent sites of mutations (hot spots), which typically impact its HAT domain, a region crucial for acetylating histones and non-histone proteins.1

Experimental Evidence

EP300 mutations impair histone acetylation, disrupt epigenetic gene regulation. Mutations in CREBBP and EP300 affect a common pathway and have been described as mutually exclusive due to some functional redundancy.1,2 Studies using genome-wide CRISPR-Cas9 screens have identified synthetic lethal interactions between CREBBP and EP300, suggesting that targeting one may affect the viability of cells with mutations in the other.3
