The SWI/SNF complex is a 2 MDa multi-subunit DNA-dependent ATPase that contributes to the regulation of gene transcription by altering chromatin structure. Recent studies have revealed that the SWI/SNF complex is targeted to promoters via direct interactions with transcription activators and have provided insights into mechanisms by which the complex alters nucleosome structure and contributes to the remodeling of chromatin.
SWI/SNF复合物是一种2兆道尔顿的多亚基DNA依赖性ATP酶，它通过改变染色质结构来促进基因转录的调控。最近的研究表明，SWI/SNF复合物通过与转录激活因子的直接相互作用靶向启动子，并深入了解了该复合物改变核小体结构和促进染色质重塑的机制。
