The SWI/SNF complex is an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex that plays pivotal roles in gene regulation and cell cycle control. In the present study, we explored the molecular functions of the BAF57 subunit of SWI/SNF in cell cycle control via transcription regulation of cell cycle-related genes. We affinity purified SWI/SNF from HeLa cells stably expressing FLAG-tagged BAF47/Ini1 with or without stable shRNA-mediated knockdown of BAF57. The subunit composition of the holo- and BAF57-depleted SWI/SNF complexes from these cells were determined using a quantitative SILAC (Stable Isotope Labeling by Amino Acids in Cell Culture)-based proteomic approach. Depletion of BAF57 resulted in a significant co-depletion of BAF180 from the SWI/SNF complex without decreasing total cellular BAF180 levels. In biochemical assays of SWI/SNF activity, the holo- and BAF57/BAF180-depleted SWI/SNF complexes exhibited similar activities. However, in cell proliferation assays using HeLa cells, knockdown of BAF57 resulted in an accumulation of cells in the G2/M phase, inhibition of colony formation, and impaired growth in soft agar. Knockdown of BAF57 also caused transcriptional misregulation of various cell cycle-related genes, especially genes involved in late G2. Collectively, our results have a identified a new role for BAF57 within the SWI/SNF complex that is required for maintaining the proper subunit composition of the complex and cell cycle progression through the transcriptional regulation of a subset of cell cycle-related genes.
