Function

Involved in transcriptional activation and repression of select genes by chromatin remodeling (alteration of DNA-nucleosome topology). Component of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes that carry out key enzymatic activities, changing chromatin structure by altering DNA-histone contacts within a nucleosome in an ATP-dependent manner. Belongs to the neural progenitors-specific chromatin remodeling complex (npBAF complex) and the neuron-specific chromatin remodeling complex (nBAF complex). During neural development a switch from a stem/progenitor to a postmitotic chromatin remodeling mechanism occurs as neurons exit the cell cycle and become committed to their adult state. The transition from proliferating neural stem/progenitor cells to postmitotic neurons requires a switch in subunit composition of the npBAF and nBAF complexes. As neural progenitors exit mitosis and differentiate into neurons, npBAF complexes which contain ACTL6A/BAF53A and PHF10/BAF45A, are exchanged for homologous alternative ACTL6B/BAF53B and DPF1/BAF45B or DPF3/BAF45C subunits in neuron-specific complexes (nBAF). The npBAF complex is essential for the self-renewal/proliferative capacity of the multipotent neural stem cells. The nBAF complex along with CREST plays a role regulating the activity of genes essential for dendrite growth (By similarity). Required for the coactivation of estrogen responsive promoters by SWI/SNF complexes and the SRC/p160 family of histone acetyltransferases (HATs). Also specifically interacts with the CoREST corepressor resulting in repression of neuronal specific gene promoters in non-neuronal cells.

Activity summary

BAF57 also known as SMARCE1 is a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex. It aids in regulating the structure of chromatin influencing gene expression. BAF57 weighs approximately 53 kDa and is expressed widely across various tissue types with notable presence in the brain and reproductive organs. This protein plays an important role in reshaping chromatin making it essential for modulating the accessibility of transcription factors to DNA.

Biological function summary

As a part of the SWI/SNF complex BAF57/SMARCE1 facilitates the remodeling of chromatin impacting transcription regulation. By interacting directly with DNA BAF57 allows chromatin sliding and repositioning therefore influencing gene transcription. It plays a significant role in embryonic development neural progenitor cell proliferation and the regulation of cell cycle and differentiation processes. The protein helps modulate responses to hormonal and growth factor signals which are integral for proper cellular control.

Pathways

BAF57/SMARCE1 functions mainly within the WNT signaling and the nuclear hormone receptor pathways. It initiates changes in chromatin architecture impacting gene expression in pathways including those controlling cellular differentiation and development. Proteins like SMARCA4 and ARID1A often work alongside BAF57 in these pathways helping to modulate signal transduction processes that are important for cellular outcomes.

Associated diseases and disorders

BAF57/SMARCE1 has links to certain cancers and Coffin-Siris syndrome. Mutations in this protein or alterations in its expression can disrupt normal SWI/SNF complex function leading to abnormal cell growth and division contributing to tumor development. Additionally genetic deficits in BAF57 have associated with neural development disorders particularly through the altered function of related proteins like SMARCB1 and SMARCA4 further elucidating its role in various pathological conditions.

    ChIP - Anti-BAF57/SMARCE1 antibody [EPR8848] (ab131328)

    Chromatin was prepared from HeLa cells according to the Abcam Dual X-ChIP protocol*. Cells were fixed with EGS for 30 minutes, then formaldehyde for 10 minutes.
    The ChIP was performed with 25 µg of chromatin, 5 µg of ab131328 (red), and 20 µl of Protein A/G sepharose beads. 5 µg of rabbit normal IgG was added to the beads control (gray). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Sybr green approach).
    Primers and probes are located in the first kb of the transcribed region.
