RSF complex
rsf complex
A nucleosome remodeling complex that participates in chromatin assembly and facilitates DNA transcription. The RSF1 subunit functions as the histone chaperone through an association with the H3/H4 tetramer and is independent of the histone tails. The histone octamer (composed of H2A, H2B, H3 & H4) is required for the RSF complex to bind DNA. The SMARCA5 subunit provides the energy for the nucleosome spacing activity and is dependent on the histone tails.
