SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily E member 1; BRG1-associated factor 57; BAF57 (SMARCE1, BAF57)
Function:
- role in transcriptional activation & repression of select genes by chromatin remodeling (alteration of DNA-nucleosome topology)
- component of the BAF complex
- component of npBAF complex & nBAF complex, involved in a switch from a neural stem/progenitord to post-mitotic neurons
- association with the WINAC complex, a chromatin-remodeling complex recruited by vitamin D receptor
- required for coactivation of estrogen responsive promoters by Swi/Snf complexes & the SRC/p160 family of histone acetyltransferases (HATs)
- specifically interacts with the CoREST corepressor resulting in repression of neuronal specific gene promoters in non-neuronal cells
- 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
- binds to the SRC/p160 family of histone acetyltransferases composed of NCOA1, NCOA2, & NCOA3
Structure:
- HMG domain is essential for CD4 silencing & CD8 activation; mutation of this domain blocks thymus development
- contains 1 HMG box DNA-binding domain
