New partners for old friends:Plant SWI/SNF complexes

摘要

The physical accessibility of specific genomic regions is a chro-matin property that regulates gene expression and allows the establishment of an appropriate transcriptional landscape in response to environmental and.developmental signals.In eukary-otes,ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes use the energy produced via ATP hydrolysis by an ATPase subunit to perform DNA translocation.These complexes are classified into four subfamilies,based on the domain organization of their cata-lytic ATPases(Clapier et al.,2017).
