The precise modulation of chromatin dynamics is an essential and complex process that ensures the integrity of transcriptional regulation and prevents the transition of a normal cell into a cancerous one. ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling enzymes are multisubunit complexes that play a pivotal role in this operation through the mobilization of nucleosomes to promote DNA accessibility. Chromatin remodeling is mediated by the interaction of DNA-binding factors and individual members of this complex, directing its targeted recruitment to specific regulatory regions. In this review, we discuss a core subunit of the SWI/SNF ATP-dependent chromatin remodeling complex, known as INI1/hSNF5, in the context of transcriptional regulation and impact on cancer biology. In particular, we review current knowledge of the diverse protein interactions between INI1/hSNF5 and viral and cellular factors, with a special emphasis on the potent oncogene c-Myc.
