Disease relevance of SMARCA4

 

High impact information on SMARCA4

  • We show that BRCA1 can directly interact with the BRG1 subunit of the SWI/SNF complex [6].
  • Coimmunoprecipitation experiments suggested BRG1 associates with the RB family in vivo [7].
  • In the human carcinoma cell line SW13, BRG1 exhibited tumor suppressor activity by inducing formation of flat, growth-arrested cells [7].
  • A lysine to arginine substitution at the corresponding residue of BRG1 also generated a transcriptional dominant negative in human cells [8].
  • Loss of Brg1 or HDAC2 should therefore produce Gc resistance, and we show that approximately 50% of Gc-resistant human and dog corticotroph adenomas, which are the hallmark of Cushing disease, are deficient in nuclear expression of either protein [9].
 

Chemical compound and disease context of SMARCA4

  • We have investigated here the function of SNF2beta-BRG1 in the RA receptor-retinoid X receptor-mediated transduction of the retinoid signal in F9 embryonal carcinoma (EC) cells which differentiate into endodermal-like cells upon RA treatment [10].

Associations of SMARCA4 with chemical compounds

  • Inhibition of histone deacetylation by trichostatin A dramatically increases BRG-1-mediated coactivation of ER signaling, and this increase is reversed by overexpression of histone deacetylase 1 [17].
  • BRG-1 is recruited to estrogen-responsive promoters and cooperates with factors involved in histone acetylation [17].
  • Using the yeast two-hybrid system, we now demonstrate that the N-terminal regions of hSNF2alpha and hSNF2beta, preceding the DNA-dependent ATPase domain, specifically interact with the region of the estrogen receptor (ER) which includes the ligand binding domain and the ligand-dependent activation function AF-2 [18].
  • Mutation of lysine residue 798 in the DNA-dependent ATPase domain of BRG1 significantly reduced its ability to repress c-fos transcription [3].
  • The Brg1 subunit of SWI/SNF and the TRAP230 subunit of TRAP/Mediator were shown to interact directly with RTA [19].

Other interactions of SMARCA4

  • IFN-gamma induction of the CIITA (class II transactivator) promoter (pIV) requires Brahma-related gene 1 (BRG1), a chromatin-remodeling enzyme [29].
  • Furthermore, BRG1 is required for IFN-induced restriction enzyme and DNase I accessibility at promoters [29].
  • In contrast, constitutive BRG1 association at IFN targets is STAT1-independent [29].
  • Finally, we demonstrate that BRG-1-mediated coactivation of ER signaling is regulated by the state of histone acetylation within a cell [17].
  • In contrast, the amount of ZNF185 transcript clearly varied among lung cancer cell lines and severely reduced levels were observed in BRG1-deficient cells, except those of A427 [11].
  • Taken together, we provided evidence that Brg1 is preferentially recruited by p53 for inducing a subset of target genes through chromatin remodeling [30].
