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. Component of the CREST-BRG1 complex, a multiprotein complex that regulates promoter activation by orchestrating the calcium-dependent release of a repressor complex and the recruitment of an activator complex. In resting neurons, transcription of the c-FOS promoter is inhibited by SMARCA4-dependent recruitment of a phospho-RB1-HDAC repressor complex. Upon calcium influx, RB1 is dephosphorylated by calcineurin, which leads to release of the repressor complex. At the same time, there is increased recruitment of CREBBP to the promoter by a CREST-dependent mechanism, which leads to transcriptional activation. The CREST-BRG1 complex also binds to the NR2B promoter, and activity-dependent induction of NR2B expression involves the release of HDAC1 and recruitment of CREBBP. 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. SMARCA4/BAF190A may promote neural stem cell self-renewal/proliferation by enhancing Notch-dependent proliferative signals, while concurrently making the neural stem cell insensitive to SHH-dependent differentiating cues (By similarity). Acts as a corepressor of ZEB1 to regulate E-cadherin transcription and is required for induction of epithelial-mesenchymal transition (EMT) by ZEB1. Binds via DLX1 to enhancers located in the intergenic region between DLX5 and DLX6 and this binding is stabilized by the long non-coding RNA (lncRNA) Evf2 (By similarity). Binds to RNA in a promiscuous manner (By similarity). Binding to RNAs including lncRNA Evf2 leads to inhibition of SMARCA4 ATPase and chromatin remodeling activities (By similarity). In brown adipose tissue, involved in the regulation of thermogenic genes expression (By similarity).

Activity summary

BRG1 also known as SMARCA4 functions as a chromatin-remodeling enzyme. It has a molecular weight of approximately 185 kDa. BRG1 expresses in various tissues with higher expression in tissues like the brain heart and lungs. As a component of several multi-subunit complexes including the SWI/SNF complex it uses energy from ATP hydrolysis to alter chromatin structure and regulate gene expression.

Biological function summary

The BRG1 protein plays a significant role in regulating gene expression by modifying chromatin conformation. It participates in the SWI/SNF complex which is essential for transcriptional control by RNA Polymerase II. Through chromatin remodeling BRG1 influences cellular processes like cell differentiation proliferation and apoptosis. Its relevance is pronounced in dynamic cellular environments like embryonic and adult stem cells.

Pathways

BRG1 engagement in DNA damage repair and transcriptional regulation pathways underpins its biological functions. It interacts with proteins such as p53 and c-MYC which play roles in these pathways. In DNA repair pathways BRG1 supports genome integrity while in transcriptional regulation it cooperates with signaling molecules to control gene activation and repression.

Associated diseases and disorders

Mutations or alterations in BRG1 have links to several cancers including lung and ovarian cancers. The loss of BRG1 expression often correlates with poor prognosis and tumor progression. Many tumors show an association between BRG1 and p53 mutation suggesting a complex relationship in oncogenesis. These connections highlight the importance of BRG1-specific tools like BRG1 antibodies IHC and ELISA kits for research and potential therapeutic applications.
