| ncRNA Symbol: | SMARCE1 | | Full Name: | SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily e, member 1 | | Category: | mRNA | | Synonyms: | BAF57|CSS5 | | Chromosome: | chr17 | | Strand: | - | | Coordinate: | | Start Site(bp): | 40624962 | End Site(bp): | 40648508 | | | Gene Summary: | The protein encoded by this gene is part of the large ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex SWI/SNF, which is required for transcriptional activation of genes normally repressed by chromatin. The encoded protein, either alone or when in the SWI/SNF complex, can bind to 4-way junction DNA, which is thought to mimic the topology of DNA as it enters or exits the nucleosome. The protein contains a DNA-binding HMG domain, but disruption of this domain does not abolish the DNA-binding or nucleosome-displacement activities of the SWI/SNF complex. Unlike most of the SWI/SNF complex proteins, this protein has no yeast counterpart. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008] | | External Links: | |
