Deskripsi

SMARCB1/SNF5 is a tumour suppressor and component of the SWI/SNF chromatin remodeler. Here the authors show that, independent of chromatin remodelling activities, SNF5 acts to inhibit the pro-tumorigenic transcriptional program of MYC via control of RNA polymerase pause release at MYC target genes.
