The myogenic basic helix-loop-helix family of
transcription factors, MyoD, Myf5, myogenin, and MRF4, can each
activate the muscle differentiation program when ectopically expressed
in non-muscle cells. SWI/SNF complexes are ATP-dependent
chromatin remodeling enzymes. We demonstrated previously that SWI/SNF
enzymes promote MyoD-mediated muscle differentiation. To ascertain the
requirement for SWI/SNF enzymes in muscle differentiation mediated by
different MyoD family members, we examined MyoD, Myf5, MRF4, and
myogenin-mediated induction of muscle differentiation in cells
expressing dominant negative versions of BRG1 or BRM-based SWI/SNF
enzymes. We demonstrated that expression of dominant negative BRG1 or
BRM inhibited the induction of muscle-specific gene expression by Myf5
and MRF4; however, myogenin failed to induce measurable quantities of
muscle-specific mRNAs, even in cells not expressing dominant
negative SWI/SNF. In contrast, all four myogenic regulators induced
expression of the cell cycle regulators p21, Rb, and cyclin D3
and promoted cell cycle arrest independently of the SWI/SNF enzymes. We
proposed that SWI/SNF enzymes are required for the induction of all
muscle-specific gene expression by MyoD, Myf5, and MRF4, whereas
induction of the cell cycle regulators, p21, Rb, and cyclin D3
occurred independently of SWI/SNF function.
The Myogenic Basic Helix-Loop-Helix Family of Transcription
Factors Shows Similar Requirements for SWI/SNF Chromatin Remodeling
Enzymes during Muscle Differentiation in Culture*
