The mammalian SWI/SNF complex is an evolutionarily conserved ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex that consists of nine or more components. SRG3, a murine homologue of yeast SWI3, Drosophila MOIRA, and human BAF155, is a core component of the murine SWI/SNF complex required for the regulation of transcriptional processes associated with development, cellular differentiation, and proliferation. Here we report that SRG3 interacts directly with other components of the mammalian SWI/SNF complex such as SNF5, BRG1, and BAF60a. The SWIRM domain and the SANT domain were required for SRG3-SNF5 and SRG3-BRG1 interactions, respectively. In addition, SRG3 stabilized SNF5, BRG1, and BAF60a by attenuating their proteasomal degradation, suggesting its general role in the stabilization of the SWI/SNF complex. Such a stabilization effect of SRG3 was not only observed in the in vitro cell system, but also in cells isolated from SRG3 transgenic mice or knock-out mice haploinsufficient for the Srg3 gene. Taken together, these results suggest the critical role of SRG3 in the post-transcriptional stabilization of the major components of the SWI/SNF complex.
