SMARCAD1 ATPase activity is required to silence endogenous retroviruses in embryonic stem cells
Tight regulation of retrotransposons such as endogenous retroviruses (ERVs) is essential for genome and transcriptome integrity. Here, the authors show that the ATPase function of the chromatin remodeler SMARCAD1 facilitates the binding of KAP1 to ERVs and is required for their repression in embryon...
