Background

SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily a, member 2 (SMARCA2), also known as BRM, is a member of the SWI/SNF family of proteins and is similar to the Brahma protein of Drosophila. Members of this family have helicase and ATPase activities and are thought to regulate transcription of certain genes by altering the chromatin structure around those genes. SMARCA2 contains bromodomains for interaction with other proteins. The bromodomain functions as a ‘reader’ of epigenetic histone marks and regulates chromatin structure and gene expression by linking associated proteins to the recognized acetylated nucleosomal targets. SMARCA2 is involved in vitamin D-coupled transcription regulation via its association with the WINAC complex, a chromatin-remodeling complex recruited by vitamin D receptor (VDR). SMARCA1 belongs to the neural progenitors-specific chromatin remodeling complex (npBAF complex) and the neuron-specific chromatin remodeling complex (nBAF complex). SMARCA2 plays a pivotal role in the regulation of the switch in subunit composition of the npBAF and nBAF complexes as cells transition from proliferating neural stem/progenitor cells to post-mitotic neurons during neural development. It shows binding specificity for acetylated H3K9, H3K14, H3K9/14, H4K8, H4K12, H4K16 and H4K5/8/12/16.
