SMARCA4 (SWI/SNF related, Matrix associated, Actin dependent Regulator of Chromatin, subfamily A, member 4) is a transcriptional activator and is a component of the large ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex SWI/SNF, which is required for transcriptional activation of genes normally repressed by chromatin. SMARC4 (also known as BRG1) and the related protein SMARCA2 (also known as BRM) contain a bromodomain that is structurally similar to the PolyBromo1 (PB1) 5 bromodomain. PFI-3 is a selective chemical probe for SMARCA bromodomains that inhibits SMARCA2, SMARCA4 and PB1(5) bromodomains.
