SWI/SNF remains localized to chromatin in the presence of SCHLAP1.

ABSTRACT: SCHLAP1 is a long noncoding RNA that is reported to function by depleting the SWI/SNF complex from the genome. We investigated the hypothesis that SCHLAP1 affects only specific compositions of SWI/SNF. Using several assays, we found that SWI/SNF is not depleted from the genome by SCHLAP1 and that SWI/SNF is associated with many coding and noncoding RNAs, suggesting that SCHLAP1 may function in a SWI/SNF-independent manner.
