SWP59

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

**Definition:** A component of the SWI/SNF global transcription activator complex and the RSC chromatin remodeling complex, SWP59 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. Actin-related SWP59 is a non-specific DNA-binding RNA polymerase II transcription factor ATPase. (from SGD S0004636 and NCI)
