Abstract

This domain lies within the catalytic subunit (Snf2) of the yeast SWI/SNF chromatin remodelling complex. It binds histones and is required for mobilising nucleosomes [ 1 ]. This domain is conserved and can also be found in Snf2 homologues, such as Sth1 [ 2 ].

2. Sth1p, a Saccharomyces cerevisiae Snf2p/Swi2p homolog, is an essential ATPase in RSC and differs from Snf/Swi in its interactions with histones and chromatin-associated proteins. Genetics 150, 987-1005
