SWP73

**Semantic type:** Amino Acid, Peptide, or Protein

**Definition:** A 73 kD subunit of the SWI/SNF global transcription activator complex, SWP73 assists gene-specific activators through nucleosome/chromatin remodeling. The SWI/SNF complex is required for induced expression of many genes and alters chromatin structure to facilitate binding of gene-specific dedicated transcription factors. SWP73 is a non-specific RNA polymerase II transcription factor and homologue of Rsc6p subunit of the RSC chromatin remodeling complex with similarity to yeast ycr52w. (from SGD S0005306 and NCI)

**Synonyms:** - Snf12 - Swp73/Snf12
