Abstract:The SWI/SNF ATP-dependent chromatin remodeler is a master regulator of the epigenome; controlling pluripotency and differentiation. Towards the C-terminus of the catalytic subunit of SWI/SNF is a motif called the AT-hook that is evolutionary conserved. The AT-hook is present in many chromatin modifiers and generally thought to help anchor them to DNA. We observe the AT-hook however regulates the intrinsic DNA-stimulated ATPase activity without promoting SWI/SNF recruitment to DNA or nucleosomes by increasing t… Show more
