The SWI2/SNF2-Related 1 chromatin remodeling complex (SWR1-C) is important for gene regulation, but its composition remains largely uncharacterized in plants. Here, the authors report that methyl-CpG-binding domain 9 (MBD9) is a SWR1-C interacting protein required for histone H2A.Z deposition in Arabidopsis.
