Figure 1. The SWI/SNF remodeling cycle. Steps in the cycle (1–4) are described in detail in the text. Asterisks are used to denote the remodeled state of the array. cally separated from the holoenzyme in two different purification schemes (Côté et al. 1994; Cairns et al. 1996). This targeting model remains controversial. Alternatively, targeting of SWI/SNF activity to specific chromosomal loci may involve interactions with upstream activator proteins. Such an interaction has been demonstrated for mammalian SWI/SNF and the glucocorticoid receptor (GR) in vivo (Fryer and Archer 1998) and yeast SWI/SNF and the rat GR in vitro in yeast extracts (Yoshinaga et al. 1992).SWI/SNF might also be targeted to specific chromosomal loci by a special chromatin structure of the locus. For instance, SWI/SNF may recognize nucleosome arrays that harbor a distinct type of histone posttranslational modification, such as site-specific acetylation or phosphorylation (for discussion, see Pollard and Peterson 1998). The histone acetyltransferase, GCN5, is required for expression of many of the same genes that require SWI/SNF activity, and GCN5 and SWI/SNF show similar genetic interactions with chromatin components (Pollard and Peterson 1997). One possibility is that SWI/SNF is targeted to nucleosome arrays that have been acetylated by GCN5 HAT complexes, or alternatively, the remodeling activity of SWI/SNF might be modulated by histone acetylation (see below).
