Outline of Final Research Achievements |
Comprehensive profiling of cancer genomics has revealed that somatic mutations of genes encoding SWI/SNF chromatin complexes are a common driver mechanism of tumorigenesis. Since BCL11B was reported to affect transcription as a SWI/SNF component, we examined whether BCL11B incorporated into SWI/SNF complexes in HCT116 cells by transfecting BCL11B expression plasmids into cells, followed by glycerol density sedimentation analysis of the cell lysates. Most of the wild-type BCL11B but not the mutant-type BCL11B proteins were detected in the fractions of large complexes with BRG1 and other SWI/SNF components, indicating that BCL11B is the subunit of SWI/SNF complexes. Initially, we attempted to investigate whether the mutation of BCL11B affects the oscillation of p53-MDM2 by gamma ray irradiation. We failed to detect the difference of oscillation of p53-MDM2 between in the presence of wild-type and mutant-type BCL11B.
