l(3)72Aa, dBRM
transcription factor - SWI2/SNF2 homolog - overcomes the repressive effect of chromatin to activate gene transcription - fine-tunes circadian transcription - regulates the Hippo pathway activity through forming complex with Yorkie-Scalloped and regulating the transcription of Crumbs

Component of the Brahma complex, which is composed of brm, osa, mor, Snr1/Bap45, dalao/Bap111, Bap55, Bap60 and Act42A/Bap47 (PubMed:10601025, PubMed:10809665). Interacts with asf1 (PubMed:12381660). Associates with the brm-HDAC3-erm repressor complex, composed of brm, HDAC3 and erm (PubMed:24618901). Interacts with erm and HDAC3 (PubMed:24618901).

The testis specificity index was calculated from modENCODE tissue expression data by Vedelek et al., 2018 to indicate the degree of testis enrichment compared to other tissues. Scores range from -2.52 (underrepresented) to 5.2 (very high testis bias).
brm transcripts are expressed maximally in unfertilized eggs and early embryos, indicating maternal contributions. Levels drop steadily during embryogenesis with a dramatic drop at 16hrs. Low levels of brm transcripts are observed in larvae, pupae, and adult females. The temporal pattern of brm transcription is very similar to that of Snr1.
brm transcript levels are highest in unfertilized eggs and early embryos and are significantly lower in other stages of development.
Comment: 0-22 hr AEL
Protein is localized along the entire length of all chromosomes.
brm protein is detected throughout the entire leg and wing disc of the developing larva.

For each fully sequenced cDNA the DGRC maintains various forms of the cDNA (e.g tagged or untagged) in several different host vectors for subsequent cloning and expression in Drosophila and Drosophila cell lines.
New stable cell line derived from S2-ThermoFischer : Stable cell lines were constructed for expression of brm constructs (recBRM-V5 and recBRM-K804R-V5).
DNA-protein interactions: genome-wide binding profile assayed for brm protein in S2 cells; GEO accession number GSE32404.
The 'l(3)72Aa' (brm) complementation group comprises 19 EMS-induced mutant alleles.
DNA-protein interactions: genome-wide binding profile assayed for brm protein in Kc167 cells; see Chromatin_types_NKI collection report. Individual protein-binding experiments listed under "Samples" at GEO_GSE22069 (http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/geo/query/acc.cgi?acc=GSE22069).
dsRNA has been made from templates generated with primers directed against this gene. RNAi of brm 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, defects in dendrite morphogenesis but no obvious defects in da dendrite development.
S2 cells treated with dsRNA generated against this gene show reduced phagocytosis of Candida albicans compared to untreated cells.
Loss of brm function results in loss of veins in the wing.
The chromatin remodelling activity of the brm complex may play a general role in facilitating transcription by RNA polymerase II.
Used in an investigation to address the relationship between retrotransposons and retroviruses and the coadaptation of these retroelements to their host genomes. Results indicate retrotransposons are heterogeneous in contrast to retroviruses, suggesting different modes of evolution by slippage-like mechanisms.
The Snr1 and brm proteins are present in a large complex and co-precipitate from extracts, these results suggest that the Drosophila counterpart of the yeast SWI/SNF complex plays an important role in counteracting the repressive effects of chromatin on homeotic gene transcription during development.
Phenotypic studies and genetic interactions suggest that Snr1 and brm act together, and with trx, to regulate homeotic gene transcription. Snr1 and brm proteins are present in a large complex, this complex may play an important role in maintaining homeotic gene transcription during development by counteracting the repressive effect of chromatin.
Maternal and zygotic functions of brm are required during embryogenesis.
