Target Name

SMARCD1

Target Full Name

SWI/SNF-related matrix-associated actin-dependent regulator of chromatin subfamily D member 1

Target Function

Involved in transcriptional activation and repression of select genes by chromatin remodeling (alteration of DNA-nucleosome topology). Component of SWI/SNF chromatin remodeling complexes that carry out key enzymatic activities, changing chromatin structure by altering DNA-histone contacts within a nucleosome in an ATP-dependent manner. Belongs to the neural progenitors-specific chromatin remodeling complex (npBAF complex) and the neuron-specific chromatin remodeling complex (nBAF complex). During neural development a switch from a stem/progenitor to a postmitotic chromatin remodeling mechanism occurs as neurons exit the cell cycle and become committed to their adult state. The transition from proliferating neural stem/progenitor cells to postmitotic neurons requires a switch in subunit composition of the npBAF and nBAF complexes. As neural progenitors exit mitosis and differentiate into neurons, npBAF complexes which contain ACTL6A/BAF53A and PHF10/BAF45A, are exchanged for homologous alternative ACTL6B/BAF53B and DPF1/BAF45B or DPF3/BAF45C subunits in neuron-specific complexes (nBAF). The npBAF complex is essential for the self-renewal/proliferative capacity of the multipotent neural stem cells. The nBAF complex along with CREST plays a role regulating the activity of genes essential for dendrite growth. Has a strong influence on vitamin D-mediated transcriptional activity from an enhancer vitamin D receptor element (VDRE). May be a link between mammalian SWI-SNF-like chromatin remodeling complexes and the vitamin D receptor (VDR) heterodimer. Mediates critical interactions between nuclear receptors and the BRG1/SMARCA4 chromatin-remodeling complex for transactivation.

Target Background

Predicted to enable several functions, including chromatin binding activity; molecular adaptor activity; and transcription coregulator activity. Predicted to be involved in epigenetic maintenance of chromatin in transcription-competent conformation; nucleosome disassembly; and regulation of transcription by RNA polymerase II. Predicted to act upstream of or within chromatin organization and nervous system development. Part of SWI/SNF complex; nBAF complex; and npBAF complex. Is expressed in several structures, including central nervous system; dorsal root ganglion; early conceptus; genitourinary system; and retina layer. Human ortholog(s) of this gene implicated in Coffin-Siris syndrome. Orthologous to human SMARCD1 (SWI/SNF related, matrix associated, actin dependent regulator of chromatin, subfamily d, member 1).
