The SWI/SNF PBAF complex facilitates REST occupancy at repressive chromatinbioRxiv : the preprint server for biology · 2024
Summary (written by the submitters)
Multimeric SWI/SNF chromatin remodelers assemble in distinct conformations, with individual functions difficult to dissect. Importantly, mutations in specific SWI/SNF genes are enriched in distinct cancers, as the PBAF-specific component ARID2 in melanoma. Through comprehensive epigenomic profiling of SWI/SNF complexes and their associated chromatin states in melanoma and melanocytes, we found that a subset of PBAF-exclusive regions unexpectedly coexists with PRC2 and repressed chromatin.

Time-resolved approaches revealed that PBAF regions are generally less sensitive to ATPase-mediated remodeling compared to BAF sites. Notably, PBAF/PRC2-bound loci are enriched for REST, a transcription factor that represses neuronal genes. In turn, absence of ARID2 and consequent PBAF loss hinders REST ability to bind and inactivate its targets, leading to upregulation of neuronal and synaptic transcripts, a gene signature also associated with ARID2 mutations in melanoma patients. In sum, we demonstrate a unique role for PBAF in generating accessibility for a silencing transcription factor at repressed chromatin.

This dataset
Download · which file do I need?

Direct links to NCBI and ENA, no account and no request form. Pick by what you want to do: take the small processed table to look, the supplementary files to re-analyse, or the original raw data to start over.

1 · Just have a look

Processed table

The series matrix: one table of values per sample as the submitters processed it. The smallest download, and it opens in Excel or R. Start here to see what the data look like.

2 · Re-analyse it

Supplementary files

The count tables and other files the authors uploaded. Take only the samples you need, or the whole study as GSE272705_RAW.tar (it can run to tens of gigabytes).

3 · Start from the raw reads

Raw sequencing reads

The original FASTQ files, straight from the sequencer, held at ENA. Large, and you align them yourself, so only choose this if you need to re-process the study from scratch.

What the files usually look like: Look for peak files (.bed, .narrowPeak) and signal tracks (.bigWig) among the supplementary files; the raw reads are on ENA.

Also filed as BioProject PRJNA1138230 and SRA study SRP521147. Searching any of these in the dataset finder brings you back here.
