Summaries
Gene Snapshot
Brahma associated protein 60kD (Bap60) encodes a protein required for Brahma complex function. It represses neuroblast proliferation and regulates heterochromatin assembly. [Date last reviewed: 2019-08-01]
Gene Group (FlyBase)
BRAHMA ASSOCIATED PROTEINS COMPLEX -
The Brahma associated proteins (BAP) complex is an ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex. (Adapted from FBrf0192510.)
POLYBROMO-CONTAINING BRAHMA ASSOCIATED PROTEINS COMPLEX -
Brahma (BRM) complexes are ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes. The Polybromo-containing Brahma associated proteins (PBAP) complex is distinguished by the presence of polybromo and Bap170 subunits. (Adapted from FBrf0192510.)
NON-CANONICAL BRAHMA ASSOCIATED PROTEINS COMPLEX -
Brahma (BRM) complexes are ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complexes. The non-canonical BAP (ncBAP) complex is distinguished by the presence of a Bicra subunit. (Adapted from FBrf0247407.)
Protein Function (UniProtKB)
Involved in the recruitment and site-specific anchoring of the Brahma complex at specific promoter sites (PubMed:16083904, PubMed:24618901). The Brahma complex is a multiprotein complex which is the equivalent of the yeast SWI/SNF complex and acts by remodeling the chromatin by catalyzing an ATP-dependent alteration in the structure of nucleosomal DNA (PubMed:16083904, PubMed:24618901). This complex can both serve as a transcriptional coactivator or corepressor, depending on the context (PubMed:16083904). Participates in X-chromosomal dosage compensation (PubMed:16083904). Participates in neurogenesis (PubMed:16083904, PubMed:24618901).

Model Confidence:
  • Very high (pLDDT > 90)
  • Confident (90 > pLDDT > 70)
  • Low (70 > pLDDT > 50)
  • Very low (pLDDT < 50)

AlphaFold produces a per-residue confidence score (pLDDT) between 0 and 100. Some regions with low pLDDT may be unstructured in isolation.

Subunit Structure (UniProtKB)

There are 2 distinct Brahma complexes in the fruit fly, the Brahma-associated proteins (BAP) and Polybromo-containing BAP (PBAP) complexes, which are composed of common subunits Brm, Mor, Snr1/Bap45, Bap111/Dalo, Bap55, Bap60 and Act42A/Bap47, and additional signature subunits osa in the BAP complex and Polybromo and Bap170 in the PBAP complex (PubMed:15060132). Interacts with sisA and sc (PubMed:16083904). Interacts with mor (PubMed:10809665). Interacts with p53 (PubMed:20308539). Interacts with erm (via N-terminal) (PubMed:24618901). Interacts with akirin; interaction is immune stimulation-dependent; activates selected Rel target gene promoters (PubMed:25180232).

      dsRNA has been made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene. RNAi of Bap60 disrupts the dendritic routing patterns of the ddaD and ddaE neurons, resulting in aberrantly oriented primary dendrites. RNAi also causes defects in muscle, alterations in the number of MD neurons and defects in dendrite morphogenesis.

      dsRNA made from templates generated with primers directed against Bap60 that is transfected into S2 treated with Listeria monocytogenes reveals Bap60 to be involved in Listeria monocytogenes intracellular growth and vacuolar escape.

      Additional comments

      FlyBase curator comment: the insertion in the "f05782" Exelixis line (PBac{WH}CG12096f05782) was originally assigned to the Bap60 gene in FBrf0179797, resulting in the "Bap60f05782" (FBal0162769) allele. However, FBrf0184340 shows that the insertion is actually within CG12096.
