The assembly of mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes is regulated by lysine-methylation dependent proteolysis
Abstract
Here the authors show the assembly/disassembly of mammalian SWI/SNF complexes is dynamically regulated by a lysine methylation mechanism involving the demethylase LSD1 and the methyl-lysine reader L3MBTL3, which recognizes SET7-methylated lysines in SMARCC1 and SMARCC2 to target them for CRL4 ubiquitin ligase-mediated proteolysis.
