Abstract excerpt
Mammalian SWI/SNF-related complexes are recruited to the promoters of numerous target genes, and the BRG1 catalytic subunit confers ATPase activity necessary to slide or evict nucleosomes and to regulate transcription. Based on gene-targeting experiments in mice, BRG1 is essential for early embryonic development. However, Brg1 null mutants have provided limited insight into gene-dosage considerations and...
