Description
  • Studies in mice have identified two distinct BAF complexes that regulate neuronal differentiation, exemplifying the combinatorial control of BAF activity through changes to complex composition (reviewed in Staahl and Crabtree, 2013; Kadoch and Crabtree, 2015; Innis and Cabot, 2020; Cenik and Shilatifard, 2021. Neuronal progenitor and neural stem cells contain an npBAF complex that is required for multipotency and proliferation; this complex is characterized by the presence of ACTL6A, SS18 and BAF45 family members DPF2 or PHF10 (Lessard et al, 2007; Staahl et al, 2013). Mature neurons that have exited the cell cycle, in contrast, contain a nBAF complex characterized by ACTL6B, the SS18 family member SS18L1 and DPF45 family members DPF1 and DPF3 (Lessard et al, 2007; Staahl et al, 2013).
