Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
SWI/SNF is a prototypic ATP-dependent multiprotein chromatin remodelling complex. It is conserved in all eukaryotes and functions as an epigenetic regulator involved in transcription of multiple genes involved in development, cell cycle regulation, and disease. Many of the components of this complex are tumor suppressors mutated in a large number of human cancers. Interestingly, the components of the SWI/SNF complex are also involved in replication of several viruses including HIV-1 and SARS-CoV2. Their functional significance in viral replication is not completely understood. This Special Issue is an effort to bring together what is known about the role of these chromatin remodeling complexes in various stages of viral replication to gain insight into how viruses may exploit these complexes for their own purpose. Studies to understand the role of components of SWI/SNF in viral replication may provide a window into many unique functions of these complexes.
