STRUCTURAL AND FUNCTIONAL ANALYSIS OF THE ISW2 CHROMATIN REMODELING COMPLEX
Chromatin remodelers utilize the energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to mobilize nucleosomes. ISWI remodelers mobilize and evenly space nucleosomes to regulate gene expression. ISW2, an ISWI remodeler in yeast, has been shown to reposition nucleosome near promoter regions and represses both mRNA and …

The Effects of Chromatin Remodeling and Pseudokinase Activity on Liver Pathophysiology
… Arid1a, a DNA-binding component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex, shifts hepatocyte metabolism to promote lipid accumulation in a manner similar to that seen in non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. We further explore the dynamics of the SWI/SNF complex by examining a mutually exclusive …

SWI/SNF COMPLEXES COORDINATE WITH HISTONE MODIFICATIONS TO REGULATE CHROMATIN REMODELING
SWI/SNF, the founding member of ATP dependent chromatin remodelers and its paralog RSC in yeast perform similar yet distinct functions inside the cell. In vitro these complexes use ATP dependent DNA translocation to either mobilize or disassemble nucleosomes. However, how these complexes interact …

A functional role of chromatin remodeling factor, Rsf-1 in the DNA damage signaling pathway
… imitation switch (ISWI) family in ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling factors, RSF complex consists of SNF2h ATPase and Rsf-1. Although it has been reported that SNF2h ATPase is recruited to DNA damage sites (DSBs) in poly(ADP-ribosyl) polymerase 1 (PARP1)-dependent manner in DNA damage response …

Rb pathway and chromatin remodeling genes that antagonize let-60 Ras signaling during C. elegans vulval development
… homolog with class B synMuv activity, to remodel chromatin and repress transcription of genes that promote vulval development. To further understand how lin-35 Rb and hda-1 regulate vulval cell fate specification, we identified and characterized additional class B synMuv genes. We found that two …

LDB-1 AND SWI/SNF CHROMATIN REMODELING COMPLEX PARTICIPATE IN THE TRANSCRIPTIONAL ACTIVATION BY C. ELEGANS BLIMP1/PRDM1
Caenorhabditis elegans BLMP-1 is the ortholog of the human zinc finger and SET domain-containing transcriptional repressor BLIMP1/PRDM1. BLIMP1/PRDM1 and its orthologs are well studied as transcriptional repressors in many species including humans and mice. Interestingly, we found that in C. …

Lysine Specific Demethylase-1 and the Brahma Chromatin Remodeling Complex Regulate Conserved Signaling Pathways During Drosophila Wing Development
<p>The conserved SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex uses the energy from ATP hydrolysis to alter local chromatin environments by disrupting DNA-histone contacts. The Drosophila SWI/SNF counterpart, the Brahma complex, has been shown to have an essential role in regulating the proper expression of …

Molecular Interplay of Chromatin Remodeling Factor BRG1 and Transcription Factor STAT3 Regulates Stemness, Chemosensitivity and Tumorigenicity of Glioma Tumor Initiating Cells
… that BRG1, the catalytic component of the chromatin remodeling complex SWI/SNF, plays a critical role in the maintenance of the GICs and in the drug resistance of these cells. We show that BRG1 promotes the expression of key stem cell markers, Oct4, Nanog and CD44, while loss of BRG1 led to …
