SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily C member 2; SWI/SNF complex subunit SMARCC2; SWI/SNF complex 170 kD subunit; BRG1-associated factor 170; BAF170 (SMARCC2, BAF170)
Function:
- role in transcriptional activation & repression of select genes by chromatin remodeling (alteration of DNA-nucleosome topology)
- can stimulate the ATPase activity of the catalytic subunit of these complexes
- may be required for CoREST dependent repression of neuronal specific gene promoters in non-neuronal cells
- associated with the WINAC complex, a chromatin-remodeling complex recruited by vitamin D receptor
- component of the npBAF complex & the nBAF complex, involved in a switch from a neural stem/progenitord to post-mitotic neurons
- component of multiprotein chromatin-remodeling complexes:
a) Swi/Snf-A complex (BAF complex)
b) Swi/Snf-B complex (PBAF complex)
c) Brm complex
d) Brg1(I) complex
e) WINAC complex
f) Brg1(II) complex
- may also interact with the SIN3A histone deacetylase transcription repressor complex in conjunction with SMARCA2 & SMARCA4
Structure:
- belongs to the SMARCC family
- contains 1 SANT domain
- contains 1 SWIRM domain
