Tissue-specific and developmental stage-specific DNA binding by a mammalian SWI/SNF complex associated with human fetal-to-adult globin gene switching
19 Jan 1999
Abstract excerpt
SWI/SNF complexes in yeast and higher eukaryotes are thought to facilitate gene activation and transcription factor binding by disrupting repressive chromatin structures. Little is known, however, about how these complexes target specific genes for activation. We now have purified a specialized SWI/SNF-related complex (PYR complex) from murine erythroleukemia (MEL) cell nuclear extract that binds pyrimidine-rich...
