We use affinity purification of the double bromodomain protein Brd2 to isolate a
multicomponent nuclear complex from cultured cells, and apply mass spectrometry/
proteomics methods to identify the participants. We then confirm by immunoblot several
transcription co-activators and co-repressors, proteins of the Swi/Snf chromatin remodeling
complex, which regulate transcription control of cyclin A. This multiprotein complex is likely
to contribute to cell cycle control and play a role in proliferation and cancer. Keywords …
