ISW2 chromatin remodeling 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 which is required for repression of early meiotic genes during mitotic cell growth. Slides mononucleosomes from the end to the center of DNA and requires the flexible, acidic patch of the histone H4 tail to efficiently dock its translocase on the nucleosome, for stimulating the ATPase activity and inducing nucleosome mobility. Preferentially bind nucleosome substrates containing ~70 bp extranucleosomal DNA at one entry/exit site of the nucleosome. ISW2 interacts with three nucleosomal and extranucleosomal regions. Itc1 and Isw2 bind to the region 2 helical turns from the dyad axis and a region closest to the entry/exit site. Itc1 subunit makes extensive contacts with extranucleosomal DNA. The DPB4 subunit contacts extranucleosomal DNA 37-53 bp away from the entry/exit site of the nucleosome and probably serves as an anchor point for ISW2 on DNA. The DPB4/DLS1 dimer acts to affect the nucleosome spacing activity of the complex, the ability to sense an adjacent nucleosome and to regulate remodeling and may affect the target gene profile it regulates.
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.

Biological Process

Manually curated GO annotations reflect our best understanding of the basic biological process for this protein complex. Manually curated annotations are assigned by curators based on published papers when available, or by curatorial statements if necessary. Curators periodically review all manually curated GO annotations for accuracy and completeness.

Shared Annotations

This diagram displays Gene Ontology terms (green) that are shared between the given macromolecular complex (black) and other yeast complexes (yellow). Note: No diagram is shown ("No shared annotations") if there are less than 2 shared GO annotations between this complex and any other complexes.
