Histone-binding component of a NURF-like (nucleosome remodeling factor-like) complex, which would catalyze ATP-dependent nucleosome sliding and facilitate transcription of chromatin (Probable). Involved in vulval cell fates. Part of a nucleosome remodeling factor-like (NURF-like) complex containing nurf-1 and isw-1. Belongs to the BPTF family.
