“…Historically, analysis of NR transcriptional activity has focused on the contributions of chromatin remodeling and assembly of the pre-initiation complex; however, clear roles for remodeling complexes in processes, such as elongation, termination, splicing as well as heterochromatin assembly, suggest a potentially larger field of study must be considered (Horn and Peterson, 2006;Sims et al, 2004;Corey et al, 2003;Batsche et al, 2006;Alen et al, 2002;Morillon et al, 2003). Finally, numerous microarray and chip-on-chip data sets clearly point to various classes of hormonally responsive genes that will be dependent on promoter specificity and biological content for a final transcriptional disposition (Wang et al, 2004;Johnson et al, 2006;Wan and Nordeen, 2003). To this end, the clear mechanistic insights gained from functional interactions between ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling machines and nuclear receptors may provide a way forward to better understand the precise sequence of events involved in transcriptional activation.…”
