BAZ1A (Bromodomain adjacent to zinc finger domain protein 1A) is a gene whose normal job is to hold cell growth in check. The public catalogues list it as a tumour suppressor, and it is called a cancer driver by mutation analysis of patient cohorts. Tied to Small-cell lung cancer. This dossier gathers the 0 products (0 approved), 0 trials, 0 pathways and 0 resistance routes in the corpus that involve it, with external identifiers so it can be joined to UniProt, ChEMBL, Open Targets and the rest of biology.

Biology

Regulatory subunit of the ATP-dependent ACF-1 and ACF-5 ISWI chromatin remodeling complexes, which form ordered nucleosome arrays on chromatin and slide edge- and centre-positioned histone octamers away from their original location on the DNA template to facilitate access to DNA during DNA-templated processes such as DNA replication, transcription, and repair. Both complexes regulate the spacing of nucleosomes along the chromatin and have the ability to slide mononucleosomes to the centre of a DNA template in an ATP-dependent manner. The ACF-1 ISWI chromatin remodeling complex has a lower ATP hydrolysis rate than the ACF-5 ISWI chromatin remodeling complex. Has a role in sensing the length of DNA which flank nucleosomes, which modulates the nucleosome spacing activity of the ACF-5 ISWI chromatin remodeling complex. Involved in DNA replication and together with SMARCA5/SNF2H is required for replication of pericentric heterochromatin in S-phase. May have a role in nuclear receptor-mediated transcription repression. Location: Nucleus (UniProt). Locus 14q13.1-q13.2 (HGNC).
