Abstract

DNA wraps around histone octamers to assemble nucleosomes, which pack into high-ordered chromatin structure in the nucleus, and block access to the genetic material.The SWI/SNF family chromatin remodeling complexes are multi-subunit, ATP-dependent molecular machines that slide and evict nucleosomes.They play a major role in control of the chromatin structure and regulate gene transcription in eukaryotic cells.Mutations of the human complexes are often found in cancers and neurodevelopmental disorders.Here, we review recent studies of the structures of the yeast complexes (SWI/SNF and RSC) and the human homologs (BAF and PBAF).We discuss how the subunits interweave into functional modules and submodules.We discuss the conserved mode of nucleosome recognition across evolution, and propose the mechanism of chromatin targeting through interaction with transcription factors and histone modifications.We also discuss the implications of disease-associated mutations in the regulation of chromatin remodeling.These findings shed light on the mechanism and function of the SWI/SNF family complexes, and provide the structural basis for drug development.

  • SWI/SNF complex interacts directly with key tumor suppressors and oncogenes such as RB, BRCA1, c-MYC, and MLL, impacting genes crucial for cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival.

    “The SWI/SNF complex interacts directly with key tumor suppressors and oncogenes such as RB, BRCA1, c-MYC, and MLL, impacting genes crucial for cell proliferation, differentiation, and survival [72].”

    From From Obscurity to Prominence: IPMK’s Expanding Role in Cellular Signaling, Physiology, and Disease (2025) · cites this paper as [72]

    The Future perspective (page unavailable) says defective mSWI/SNF complexes deregulate gene transcription, and the disease-associated mutations section links these complexes to cancer. But the passages do not establish direct interactions with RB, BRCA1, c-MYC, or MLL, or the claimed effects on genes governing proliferation, differentiation, and survival; searches for those names and terms found no supporting passage. (LLM, conf=0.82)

  • SWI/SNF complex dysregulation is linked to cancer.

    “The SWI/SNF complex is indeed a crucial player in chromatin remodeling, and its dysregulation is linked to cancer.”
  • In mammalian cells, the ortholog of MCM1, SRF, activates immediate early genes.

    “In mammalian cells, the ortholog of MCM1, Serum Response Factor (SRF), activates immediate early genes [72,74].”

    From From Obscurity to Prominence: IPMK’s Expanding Role in Cellular Signaling, Physiology, and Disease (2025) · cites this paper as [72]

    The Introduction discusses conservation of SWI/SNF complexes between yeast and mammals, and the Linker DNA recognition section discusses transcription factors, but neither addresses SRF as an MCM1 ortholog or its activation of immediate early genes. Searches for “Serum Response Factor SRF activates immediate early genes” and “MCM1 ortholog mammalian immediate early genes” found no passage supporting the claim.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
