Chromatin-remodeling complex ATPase chain Iswi

UniProtKB accession:  Q24368

Grouped By:  Matching UniProtKB accession

UniProtKB description:  Energy-transducing component of the chromatin-remodeling complexes NURF (nucleosome-remodeling factor), ACF (ATP-utilizing chromatin assembly and remodeling factor), and CHRAC (chromatin accessibility complex) (PubMed:10856248, PubMed:11447119). NURF catalyzes ATP-dependent nucleosome sliding and facilitates transcription of chromatin. It is required for homeotic gene expression, proper larval blood cell development, normal male X chromosome morphology, ecdysteroid signaling and metamorphosis (PubMed:12502740, PubMed:16264191, PubMed:8521501, PubMed:8521502).
