SWI-SNF complexes have been implicated in transcriptional regulation by chromatin remodeling. We have identified an interaction between two components of the mammalian SWI-SNF complex and cyclin E, an essential cell cycle regulatory protein required for G1/S transition. BRG1 and BAF155, mammalian homologs of yeast SWI2 and SWI3, respectively, are found in cyclin E complexes and are phosphorylated by cyclin E-associated kinase activity. In this report, we show that overexpression of BRG1 causes growth arrest and induction of senescence-associated beta-galactosidase activity, which can be overcome by cyclin E. Our results suggest that cyclin E may modulate the activity of the SWI-SNF apparatus to maintain the chromatin in a transcriptionally permissive state.
SWI-SNF复合物通过染色质重塑参与转录调控。我们已经确定了哺乳动物SWI-SNF复合物的两个组分与细胞周期蛋白E之间的相互作用,细胞周期蛋白E是G1/S期转换所必需的一种重要细胞周期调节蛋白。酵母SWI2和SWI3的哺乳动物同源物BRG1和BAF155分别存在于细胞周期蛋白E复合物中,并被细胞周期蛋白E相关激酶活性磷酸化。在本报告中,我们表明BRG1的过表达导致生长停滞和衰老相关β-半乳糖苷酶活性的诱导,而细胞周期蛋白E可以克服这种情况。我们的结果表明,细胞周期蛋白E可能调节SWI-SNF装置的活性,以维持染色质处于转录允许状态。
