DESCRIPTION

Also known as BPTF_HUMAN, BPTF, FAC1, FALZ. Regulatory subunit of the ATP-dependent NURF-1 and NURF-5 ISWI chromatin remodeling complexes, which form ordered nucleosome arrays on chromatin and facilitate access to DNA during DNA-templated processes such as DNA replication, transcription, and repair (PubMed:14609955, PubMed:28801535). The NURF-1 ISWI chromatin remodeling complex has a lower ATP hydrolysis rate than the NURF-5 ISWI chromatin remodeling complex (PubMed:28801535). Within the NURF-1 ISWI chromatin-remodeling complex, binds to the promoters of En1 and En2 to positively regulate their expression and promote brain development (PubMed:14609955). Histone-binding protein which binds to H3 tails trimethylated on 'Lys-4' (H3K4me3), which mark transcription start sites of active genes (PubMed:16728976, PubMed:16728978). Binds to histone H3 tails dimethylated on 'Lys-4' (H3K4Me2) to a lesser extent (PubMed:16728976, PubMed:16728978, PubMed:18042461). May also regulate transcription through direct binding to DNA or transcription factors (PubMed:10575013). Interacts with MAZ (PubMed:10727212). Interacts with KEAP1 (PubMed:15379550). Component of the NURF-1 ISWI chromatin remodeling complex (also called the nucleosome-remodeling factor (NURF) complex) at least composed of SMARCA1 (isoform 2), BPTF, RBBP4 and RBBP7 (PubMed:14609955, PubMed:28801535). Within the complex interacts with isoform 2 of SMARCA1 (PubMed:14609955, PubMed:15310751, PubMed:28801535). Component of the BPFT-SMARCA1 complex at least composed of SMARCA1 (isoform 1), BPFT, RBBP4 and RBBP7; the complex is catalytically inactive and does not remodel chromatin (PubMed:15310751). Within the complex interacts with isoform 1 of SMARCA1 (PubMed:15310751). Component of the NURF-5 ISWI chromatin remodeling complex at least composed of SMARCA5/SNF2H and BPTF (PubMed:28801535). Within NURF-5 ISWI chromatin remodeling complex interacts with SMARCA5/SNF2H (PubMed:28801535).
