ARID1A regulates histone octamer transfer activity of human canonical BAF complex.

ABSTRACT: Mutations that impact subunits of mammalian SWI/SNF (mSWI/SNF or BAF) chromatin remodeling complexes are found in over 20% of human cancers. Among these subunits, AT-rich interactive domain-containing protein 1A (ARID1A) is the most frequently mutated gene, occurring in over 8% of various cancers. The majority of ARID1A mutations are frameshift or nonsense mutations, causing loss of function. Previous studies have suggested that ARID1A may facilitate interactions between BAF complexes and various transcriptional coactivators, but a biochemical role for ARID1A in BAF remodeling activity has not been identified. Here, we describe the in vitro reconstitution of the cBAF, PBAF, and ncBAF complexes, and we compare their biochemical activities. In addition, we reconstitute a variety of cBAF subc
