Abstract
The Bap170 subunit of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler exhibits activator functions when artificially recruited to the LacZ reporter promoter in enhancer-dependent transcription. In this study, the functional significance of Bap170 protein domains in reporter activation was analyzed. Deletion of the ARID domain does not reduce Bap170 activity. Increased expression of the LacZ reporter was observed in the form of Bap170 without a region that includes LXXLL motifs. Deletions of the central (RFX domain and IDRs) and C-terminal region (zinc fingers) of Bap170 lead to a significant decrease in transgene expression. Apparently, these regions of Bap170 are critical for the function of this protein in enhancer-dependent transcription.
期刊介绍:
Doklady Biochemistry and Biophysics is a journal consisting of English translations of articles published in Russian in biochemistry and biophysics sections of the Russian-language journal Doklady Akademii Nauk. The journal''s goal is to publish the most significant new research in biochemistry and biophysics carried out in Russia today or in collaboration with Russian authors. The journal accepts only articles in the Russian language that are submitted or recommended by acting Russian or foreign members of the Russian Academy of Sciences. The journal does not accept direct submissions in English.
