Inhibition of MYC by the SMARCB1 tumor suppressor
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: We report that the protein encoded by the SMARCB1 gene, SNF5, is capable of inhibiting MYC binding in vitro and in a malignant rhabdoid tumor (MRT) cell line. By comparing the effects of reintroduction of SNF5 with genetic inhibition of MYC (OMOMYC) on multiple aspects of chromatin remodeling and transcription in MRT cells, we show that regulation of MYC binding by SNF5 is not connected to the role of SNF5 in chromatin remodeling, but instead is responsible for controlling RNA polymerase pause release during transcription. Our data reveal that SNF5 negatively regulates MYC function and may explain how loss of SNF5 can lead to rapid tumorigenesis.
