SWI/SNF-dependent genes are defined by their chromatin landscape [ATAC-seq]

The SWI/SNF complex was the first chromatin remodeling machinery discovered. Although it has been extensively investigated, numerous aspects of its regulation and activity are still poorly understood, especially in higher eukaryotes. In mammals, there is not a single SWI/SNF complex (also called BRM or BRG1 associated factors, BAF, complex) but rather a polymorphic family of complexes, with three main subtypes called canonical BAF (cBAF), polybromo-associated BAF (PBAF), and non-canonical BAF (ncBAF), with relatively different specificities. The enzymatic motors of the complexes are two mutually exclusive ATPases of the SNF2 family called BRAHMA (BRM, also called SMARCA2) and BRAHMA RELATED GENE 1 (BRG1, also called SMARCA4). Recently, an specific inhibitor of BRM and BRG1 ATPase activity, called BRM014, has been developed. We have extensively investigated the effect of BRM014 on the transcriptome and the chromatin landscape of non-tumoral normal murine mammary (NMuMG) epithelial cells. Overall design: ATAC-seq analysis of NMuMG mouse glandular epithelial cells treated with DMSO or BRM014 at 6h and 30h were generated by deep sequencing, in duplicates, using Illumina NovaSeq 6000. Please note that each processed data file was generated from both replicate samples and is linked to the corresponding rep1 sample records.
