    basic FUNCTION
  • actin-dependent regulator of chromatin
  • involved in cell cycle control pathway
  • involved in the oncogenesis of tumors with a completely different histology and prognosis
  • required for upregulation of BNIP3L by IGFBP7
  • promotes nucleotide excision repair by influencing ATM recruitment and downstream H2AFX phosphorylation
  • exerts ploidy control through a pathway that includes CDKN2A, cyclin D, CDK4, RB and E2F
  • role in hereditary forms of schwannomas, but not in solitary, sporadic schwannomas
  • has a protective role in the DNA damage response
  • key mediator of HH signaling and aberrant activation of GLI1 is a previously undescribed targetable mechanism contributing to the growth of malignant rhabdoid tumors cells
  • loss of SMARCB1 drives cancer formation through simultaneous epigenetic perturbation of GLI1 and other key cancer-promoting pathways, several of which may thus constitute viable therapeutic targets
  • represses Aurora A transcription in a cell-type-specific manner
  • loss dramatically alters SWI/SNF complex composition and prevents formation of complexes required for cellular differentiation
  • differential roles for SWI/SNF subunits in muscle differentiation, with SMARCB1 playing a dual role both in the permanent cell cycle exit and in the regulation of muscle-specific genes
  • antagonistic roles of the SMARCB1 and MYC transcriptional regulators in mediating cellular and oncogenic functions
  • is required for the integrity of SWI/SNF complexes and its loss alters enhancer targeting-markedly impairing SWI/SNF binding to typical enhancers, particularly those required for differentiation, while maintaining SWI/SNF binding at super-enhancers
  • SMARCB1, SMARCD1 and SMARCE1 might act as novel pro-senescence factors in both normal and tumor human skin cells
  • SMARCB1 represses bivalent genes in human embryonic stem cells (hESCs) and antagonizes chromatin accessibility at super-enhancers

    metabolism
    signaling
    a component
  • component of the chromatin remodeling complex
  • component of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling enzymes that contain SNF2 family ATPases BRM (Brahma) or BRG1 (Brahma Related Gene 1)
  • component of the WINAC complex, at least composed of SMARCA2, SMARCA4, SMARCB1, SMARCC1, SMARCC2, SMARCD1, SMARCE1, ACTL6A, BAZ1B/WSTF, ARID1A, SUPT16H, CHAF1A and TOP2B
  • INTERACTION
    DNA binding to double-strand DNA
    RNA
    small molecule
    protein
  • previously shown to interact with HIV integrase
  • part of a pathway in which IGFBP7 increases expression of SMARCB1, which in turn leads to increased expression of BNIP3L culminating in apoptosis
  • interacting with MYK and MAEL
  • interacting with PPP1R15A
  • HIV-1 integrase and SMARCB1 bind SAP18 and selectively recruit components of SIN3a-HDAC1 complex into HIV-1 virions
  • required for TP53 transcriptional activity, and induction of prosurvival TP53 targets, including CDKN1A and MDM2, may have a role in SMARCB1 prosurvival activity
  • interacts with GLI1 (localizes to GLI1-regulated promoters and loss of SMARCB1 leads to activation of the HH-GLI pathway)
  • RB1CC1 essentially requires binding with SMARCB1, a chromatin-remodeling factor) to activate the CDKN2A promoter, in order to enhance the RB1 pathway and acts as a tumor suppressor
  • CHFR interacts with SMARCA4, SMARCB1, and SMARCD1 of the SWI/SNF-like BAF complex and ubiquitinates them to target for degradation through a proteasome-mediated pathway, and SMARCC1 stabilizes these components by blocking their interaction with CHFR
  • SMARCA4, SMARCB1, and SMARCD1, but not SMARCC1, are the substrates of CHFR for ubiquitination
  • interacts with CHFR through its RPT2 region
  • SMARCB1 is indispensable for GADD45GIP1-enhanced TP53 activity and its function in the suppression of cell cycle arrest in human cancer cells
  • is a modular domain involved in SMARCB1 interaction, which is functionally distinct from other characterized SWIRM domains that possess DNA binding activity
  • BICRA and BICRAL each exclusively associate with BRD9, but not with SMARCB1 (PMID;
  • SMARCB1 also interacts with the oncoprotein transcription factor MYC and is proposed to stimulate MYC activity
  • cell & other
  • matrix associated
