Swr1 chromatin remodelling complex Overview

GO Annotations consist of four mandatory components: a gene product, a term from one of the three Gene Ontology (GO) controlled vocabularies (Molecular Function, Biological Process, and Cellular Component), a reference, and an evidence code.


Summary
ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling complex. SWR1 replaces the canonical H2A/H2B dimer at nucleosomes flanking histone-depleted regions, such as promoters, with a variant histone H2A.Z/H2B dimer. H2A.Z has been shown to affect the stability of its host nucleosome, higher-order chromatin folding, and recruitment of transcriptional factors.
GO Slim Terms

The yeast GO Slim terms are higher level terms that best represent the major S. cerevisiae biological processes, functions, and cellular components. The GO Slim terms listed here are the broader parent terms for the specific terms to which this gene product is annotated, and thus represent the more general processes, functions, and components in which it is involved.
