SWI/SNF Chromatin Remodeling Enzymes: Epigenetic Modulators in Melanoma Invasiveness and Survival
Year: 2011
Type: article
Abstract: SWI/SNF enzymes are multi subunit complexes consisting of an ATPase subunit, either BRG1 or BRM.They act as epigenetic modulators and remodel the chromatin in an ATP dependent manner.The SWI/SNF complex has 9-12 BRG1 or BRM associated factors called (BAFs).Earlier studies from our lab showed that BRG1 interacts with Microphthalmia associated transcription factor (MITF) to promote melanocyte Dr. Ratnam for all the advice during the joint lab meetings, Dr. Yeung, for all his time and discussions and Dr. Trempe for his valuable time and advice.I would like to thank all my past and present lab members and friends.I want to thank my parents, brother and family for their love, support and being there for me always.
