Here we revealed that DLEU1 was crucial for activation of KPNA3 by recruiting SMARCA1, an essential subunit of the NURF chromatin remodeling complex, in CRC.
Aberrant expression of Brahma-related gene-1 (BRG1), a core component of the SWI/SNF chromatin-remodelling complex, has been implicated in cancer development; however, the biological significance of BRG1 in colorectal carcinoma (CRC) remains unknown.
Helicase-like transcription factor (HLTF), a member of the SWI/SNF (mating type switching/sucrose nonfermenting) chromatin-remodeling complex, is recently found to be inactivated by promoter hypermethylation in human colorectal cancer.
