Brm Antibody (E-1) is a mouse monoclonal IgM antibody that detects Brm protein of mouse, rat, and human origin by western blotting (WB), immunoprecipitation (IP), immunofluorescence (IF), and enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay (ELISA). anti-Brm antibody (E-1) is available in both non-conjugated and various conjugated forms, including agarose, to suit diverse experimental needs. The Brahma protein (Brm) serves as an ATPase subunit of the Drosophila melanogaster Brm complex, which is closely related to the mammalian SWI/SNF chromatin-remodeling complex, playing a crucial role in gene regulation. Brm functions as a transcriptional activator of Hox genes, interacting with nearly all transcriptionally active chromatin while maintaining a non-overlapping pattern with Polycomb, a known repressor of Hox gene transcription. This unique interaction is vital for proper expression of homeotic genes, as the Brm complex acts as an essential coactivator for the trithorax group protein Zeste, which binds to DNA and activates these genes. Notably, a reduction in Brm function significantly decreases the association of RNA polymerase II with Drosophila salivary gland chromosomes, indicating that chromatin remodeling activity of the Brm complex is fundamental for facilitating transcription by RNA polymerase II. Furthermore, Brm acts as a dominant suppressor of the rough eye phenotype caused by a hypomorphic mutation of Drosophila cyclin E, inhibiting S phase entry by acting downstream of cyclin E protein accumulation. The interaction of the Brm complex with chromatin may also be influenced by BAP111, which is highly associated with the Brm complex in Drosophila embryos through an HMG domain. Brm is predominantly expressed in unfertilized eggs and early embryos, underscoring its importance in early developmental processes.
