Abstract excerpt
Brahma-related gene 1 (BRG1 ) is a key component of the ATP-dependent chromatin-remodelling SWI2-SNF2 complex and has been implicated in regulating gene expression, cell-cycle control and tumorigenesis. Here we report that BRG1 interacts with signal transducer and activator of transcription 2 (STAT2) - a transcription factor that regulates gene expression mediated by interferon-alpha (IFN-alpha). BRG1 enhances...
