High impact information on SMARCA1

  • Maintenance of genomic methylation requires a SWI2/SNF2-like protein [1].
  • We have now identified a homolog of JBP1, JBP2, containing a domain related to the SWI2/SNF2 family of chromatin remodeling proteins that is upregulated in bloodstream form cells and interacts with nuclear chromatin [2].
  • We show that expression of JBP2 in procyclic form cells leads to de novo J synthesis within telomeric regions of the chromosome and that this activity is inhibited after mutagenesis of conserved residues critical for SWI2/SNF2 function [2].
  • Regulation of trypanosome DNA glycosylation by a SWI2/SNF2-like protein [2].
  • Mot1 is a conserved Snf2/Swi2-related transcriptional regulator that uses ATP hydrolysis to displace TATA-binding protein (TBP) from DNA [3].

Anatomical context of SMARCA1

 

Associations of SMARCA1 with chemical compounds

  • In contrast, both SNF2L transcript and SNF2L protein levels are rapidly increased in granulosa cells of the mouse ovary 8 h after human chorionic gonadotropin treatment, and continue to be expressed 36 h later within the functional corpus luteum [7].
  • Many members of the SWI2/SNF2 family of adenosine triphosphatases participate in the assembly/disassembly of multiprotein complexes involved in the DNA metabolic processes of transcription, recombination, repair, and chromatin remodeling [10].
  • Both activation and repression require the action of other chromatin remodeling engines of the switch 2/sucrose non-fermentable 2 (SWI2/SNF2) class [11].
 

Other interactions of SMARCA1

  • Roles of Brahma and Brahma/SWI2-related gene 1 in hypoxic induction of the erythropoietin gene [12].
  • Moreover, PCAF and the Brahma/SWI2-related protein BRG-1, which is a key factor of the human ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling complex SWI/SNF, synergistically up-regulate the enhancer A [13].
  • Ligand-dependent interaction between the estrogen receptor and the human homologues of SWI2/SNF2 [14].
