DNA binding drives the association of BRG1/hBRM bromodomains with nucleosomes

Abstract

BRG1 and BRM are central components of the BAF (mSWI/SNF) chromatin remodelling complex, which is critical for regulation of chromatin structure. Here, the authors provide evidence that both the BRG1 and hBRM bromodomains have DNA-binding activity and bind to both DNA and H3K14ac simultaneously.
