BAF180/PB1 Proteins and Enzymes

The SMARCs (SWI/SNF-related, matrix-associated, actin-dependent regulators of chromatin), and BAFs (BRG1-associated factors), have been identified as components of the mammalian SWI/SNF-like chromatin-remodeling protein complexes. These multi-protein complexes are proposed to function as ATP-driven motors that translocate along DNA and destabilize nucleosomal structures to facilitate transcription factor binding. PB1/BAF180 is a component of the SWI/SNF-B (PBAF) complex. It contains six ...
