SS18 Together with Animal-Specific Factors Defines Human BAF-Type SWI/SNF Complexes
BACKGROUND Nucleosome translocation along DNA is catalyzed by eukaryotic SNF2-type ATPases. One class of SNF2-ATPases is distinguished by the presence of a C-terminal bromodomain and is conserved from yeast to man and plants. This class of SNF2 enzymes forms rather large protein complexes that are collectively called SWI/SNF complexes. They are involved in transcription and DNA repair. Two broa...
متن کاملReversible Disruption of mSWI/SNF (BAF) Complexes by the SS18-SSX Oncogenic Fusion in Synovial Sarcoma
Recent exon sequencing studies have revealed that over 20% of human tumors have mutations in subunits of mSWI/SNF (BAF) complexes. To investigate the underlying mechanism, we studied human synovial sarcoma (SS), in which transformation results from the translocation of exactly 78 amino acids of SSX to the SS18 subunit of BAF complexes. We demonstrate that the SS18-SSX fusion protein competes fo...
متن کاملKinetic analysis of npBAF to nBAF switching reveals exchange of SS18 with CREST and integration with neural developmental pathways.
During the development of the vertebrate nervous system, neural progenitors divide, generate progeny that exit mitosis, and then migrate to sites where they elaborate specific morphologies and synaptic connections. Mitotic exit in neurons is accompanied by an essential switch in ATP-dependent chromatin regulatory complexes from the neural progenitor Brg/Brm-associated factor (npBAF) to neuron-s...
متن کاملAnimal Behavior: The Family that Works Together Stays Together
A new study shows that biparental care in frogs is more likely to evolve when tadpoles are reared under environmentally harsh conditions. Biparental care facilitates both social monogamy and genetic monogamy; frogs that work together to raise their offspring have higher mating fidelity to one another.
متن کاملPulling together with type IV pili.
Type IV pili are an efficient and versatile device for bacterial surface motility. They are widespread among the beta-, gamma-, and delta-proteobacteria and the cyanobacteria. Within that diversity, there is a core of conserved proteins that includes the pilin (PilA), the motors PilB and PilT, and various components of pilus biogenesis and assembly, PilC, PilD, PilM, PilN, PilO, PilP, and PilQ....
