This SWIRM domain is a small alpha-helical domain of about 85 amino acid residues found in chromosomal proteins. It contains a helix-turn helix motif and binds to DNA [1].

CENP-T is a family of vertebral kinetochore proteins that associates directly with CENP-W. The N-terminus of CENP-T proteins interacts directly with the Ndc80 complex in the outer kinetochore. Importantly, the CENP-T-W complex does not directly associate with CENP-A, but with histone H3 in the centromere region. CENP-T and -W form a hetero-tetramer with CENP-S and -X and bind to a ~100 bp region of nucleosome-free DNA forming a nucleosome-like structure. The DNA-CENP-T-W-S-X complex is likely to be associated with histone H3-containing nucleosomes rather than with CENP-nucleosomes. This domain is the C-terminal histone fold domain of CENP-T, which associates with chromatin [2-3].
This domain appears to play a crucial role in chromatin remodelling for yeast SWI/SNF. It binds histones. It is required for mobilising nucleosomes and lies within the catalytic subunit of the yeast SWI/SNF. It is found to be universally conserved [1 ...

The Prosite family is restricted to DEAD/H helicases, whereas this domain family is found in a wide variety of helicases and helicase related proteins. It may be that this is not an autonomously folding unit, but an integral part of the helicase.
This domain is found in proteins involved in a variety of processes including transcription regulation (e.g., SNF2, STH1, brahma, MOT1), DNA repair (e.g., ERCC6, RAD16, RAD5), DNA recombination (e.g., RAD54), and chromatin unwinding (e.g., ISWI) as w ...

SNF2 functions as the ATPase component of the SNF2/SWI multisubunit complex, which utilises energy derived from ATP hydrolysis to disrupt histone-DNA interactions, resulting in the increased accessibility of DNA to transcription factors.
This entry represents the C-terminal Ig-like domain of RSC4 from S.cerevisiae and closely related sequences which are not matched by Pfam:PF22994 as this domain has a long insertion not present in its homologue from S.pombe. RSC4 is a component of th ...
This entry represents the C-terminal Ig-like domain of RSC4 from S.cerevisiae and closely related sequences which are not matched by Pfam:PF22994 as this domain has a long insertion not present in its homologue from S.pombe. RSC4 is a component of the chromatin structure remodeling complex (RSC), which is involved in transcription regulation and nucleosome positioning [1]. This C-terminal region mediates assembly into the RSC complex and seems to be required for cell growth [1,2].
Bromodomains are 110 amino acid long domains, that are found in many chromatin associated proteins. Bromodomains can interact specifically with acetylated lysine [3].
