Rabbit Anti-SMARCA2 antibody
A transcriptional coactivator cooperating with nuclear hormone receptors to potentiate transcriptional activation. SMARCA2 / BRM belongs to the SNF2/RAD54 helicase family, is a homologue of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae SWI2/SNF2 and Drosophila brahma proteins. It contains a methyl lysine containing bromo domain and an HSA domain. The yeast protein SNF2, also known as SWI2, is involved in transcriptional activation of numerous genes. It contains a domain that is highly conserved among several known helicases and is required for transcriptional activity. SNF2/SWI2 is highly homologous to the Drosophila protein 'brahma' (brm). Although the 2 proteins show nuclear localization during interphase, they are excluded from the condensed chromosomes during mitosis. They found that the level of BRM, but not BRG1, was strongly reduced during mitosis. Phosphorylation of hbrm and BRG1 did not disrupt their association with SNF5 but correlated with a decreased affinity for the nuclear structure in early M phase.
Function:
Transcriptional coactivator cooperating with nuclear hormone receptors to potentiate transcriptional activation. Also involved in vitamin D-coupled transcription regulation via its association with the WINAC complex, a chromatin-remodeling complex recruited by vitamin D receptor (VDR), which is required for the ligand-bound VDR-mediated transrepression of the CYP27B1 gene. Belongs to the neural progenitors-specific chromatin remodeling complex (npBAF complex) and the neuron-specific chromatin remodeling complex (nBAF complex). During neural development a switch from a stem/progenitor to a post-mitotic chromatin remodeling mechanism occurs as neurons exit the cell cycle and become committed to their adult state. The transition from proliferating neural stem/progenitor cells to post-mitotic neurons requires a switch in subunit composition of the npBAF and nBAF complexes. As neural progenitors exit mitosis and differentiate into neurons, npBAF complexes which contain ACTL6A/BAF53A and PHF10/BAF45A, are exchanged for homologous alternative ACTL6B/BAF53B and DPF1/BAF45B or DPF3/BAF45C subunits in neuron-specific complexes (nBAF). The npBAF complex is essential for the self-renewal/proliferative capacity of the multipotent neural stem cells. The nBAF complex along with CREST plays a role regulating the activity of genes essential for dendrite growth (By similarity).
