SNF complex

SNF complex
The SWI/SNF complex remodels nucleosome structure in an ATP-dependent manner. In yeast the SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex is comprised of 11 tightly associated polypeptides (SWI1, SWI2, SWI3, SNF5, SNF6, SNF11, SWP82, SWP73, SWP59, SWP61, and SWP29). SWP59 and SWP61 are encoded by the ARP9 and ARP7 genes, respectively, which encode members of the actin-related protein (ARP) family. The similarity of ARP7 and ARP9 to the heat-shock protein and HSC family of ATPases suggests the possibility that chromatin remodelling by SWI/SNF may involve chaperone-like activities.
