Abstract excerpt
Mammalian SWI/SNF complexes utilize either BRG1 or BRM as alternative catalytic subunits with DNA-dependent ATPase activity to remodel chromatin. Although the two proteins are 75 % identical, broadly expressed, and have similar biochemical activities in vitro, BRG1 is essential for mouse embryonic development, while BRM is dispensable. To investigate whether BRG1 and BRM have overlapping functions during mouse...
