Remodeling the cancer epigenome: mutations in the SWI/SNF complex offer new therapeutic opportunities
15 Apr 2019
Abstract excerpt
INTRODUCTION: Cancer genome sequencing studies have discovered mutations in members of the SWItch/Sucrose Non-Fermentable (SWI/SNF) chromatin-remodeling complex in nearly 25% of human cancers. The SWI/SNF complex, first discovered in S. cerevisiae, shows strong conservation from yeast to Drosophila to mammals, contains approximately 10-12 subunits and regulates nucleosome positioning through the energy generated...
