| This locus encodes an AT-rich DNA interacting domain-containing protein. The encoded protein is a component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complex and may play a role in cell-cycle activation. The protein encoded by this locus is similar to AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A. These two proteins function as alternative, mutually exclusive ARID-subunits of the SWI/SNF complex. The associated complexes play opposing roles. Alternatively spliced transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been described. [provided by RefSeq, Feb 2012],caution:It is uncertain whether Met-1 or Met-59 is the initiator.,function:Involved in transcriptional activation and repression of select genes by chromatin remodeling (alteration of DNA-nucleosome topology). Binds DNA non-specifically.,similarity:Contains 1 ARID domain.,subunit:Component of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes, in some of which it can be mutually exclusive with ARID1A/BAF250A. Component of the BAF (SWI/SNF-A) complex, which includes at least actin (ACTB), ARID1A, ARID1B/BAF250, SMARCA2, SMARCA4/BRG1, ACTL6A/BAF53, ACTL6B/BAF53B, SMARCE1/BAF57, SMARCC1/BAF155, SMARCC2/BAF170, SMARCB1/SNF5/INI1, and one or more of SMARCD1/BAF60A, SMARCD2/BAF60B, or SMARCD3/BAF60C. In muscle cells, the BAF complex also contains DPF3. Component of the SWI/SNF-B (PBAF) complex, at least composed of SMARCA4/BRG1, SMARCB1/BAF47, ACTL6A/BAF53A or ACTL6B/BAF53B, SMARCE1/BAF57, SMARCD1/BAF60A, SMARCD2/BAF60B, perhaps SMARCD3/BAF60C, SMARCC1/BAF155, SMARCC2/BAF170, PB1/BAF180, ARID2/BAF200, ARID1A/BAF250A or ARID1B/BAF250B and actin. Component of a SWI/SNF-like EPAFb complex, at least composed of SMARCA4/BRG1, SMARCB1/BAF47, ACTL6A/BAF53A, SMARCE1/BAF57, SMARCD1/BAF60A, SMARCD2/BAF60B, SMARCC1/BAF155, SMARCC2/BAF170, ARID1B/BAF250B, MLLT1/ENL and actin. Component of a SWI/SNF-like complex containing ARID1A/BAF250A and ARID1B/BAF250B. Interacts through its C-terminus with SMARCA2/BRM and SMARCA4/BRG1. Interacts with SMARCC1/BAF155.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed with high levels in heart, skeletal muscle and kidney., |
