    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method to enhance the activity of Runx2, a major target protein of Bone Mophogenetic Protein (BMP), by Runx2 acetylation, more precisely, a method to activate BMP-mediated bone formation pathway by protecting Runx2 from ubiquitination, indicating that Runx2 is protected from degradation by the increase of Runx2 acetylation making the protein more stable. The method to enhance Runx2 activity of the present invention can be utilized for the prevention and the treatment of bone disease such as osteoporosis, osteogenesis imperfecta, periodontal disease and fracture, by inducing bone formation by inhibiting Runx2 degradation.
