53BP1 regulates heterochromatin through liquid phase separation
Nature Communications, 2022 Human 53BP1 is primarily known as a key player in regulating DNA double strand break (DSB) repair choice; however, its involvement in other biological process is less well understood.

Different behaviour of C-banded peri-centromeric heterochromatin between sex chromosomes and autosomes in Polyphagan beetles [PDF]
Comparative Cytogenetics, 2019 Heterochromatin variation was studied after C-banding of male karyotypes with a XY sex formula from 224 species belonging to most of the main families of Coleoptera.

Cell Research, 2022 Loss of heterochromatin has been implicated as a cause of pre-mature aging and age-associated decline in organ functions in mammals; however, the specific cell types and gene loci affected by this type of epigenetic change have remained unclear.

SIRT3 consolidates heterochromatin and counteracts senescence
Nucleic Acids Research, 2021 Sirtuin 3 (SIRT3) is an NAD+-dependent deacetylase linked to a broad range of physiological and pathological processes, including aging and aging-related diseases. However, the role of SIRT3 in regulating human stem cell homeostasis remains unclear. Here

Rbm10 facilitates heterochromatin assembly via the Clr6 HDAC complex
Epigenetics & Chromatin, 2021 Splicing factors have recently been shown to be involved in heterochromatin formation, but their role in controlling heterochromatin structure and function remains poorly understood.

Stem Cell Research & Therapy, 2020 Background Stem cell senescence has been proposed as one of the major drivers of aging, and MSC senescence contributes to aging-related diseases. Activation of mTORC1 pathway and heterochromatin organization have been characterized as two characteristics

PRR14 organizes H3K9me3-modified heterochromatin at the nuclear lamina
Nucleus, 2023 The eukaryotic genome is organized in three dimensions within the nucleus. Transcriptionally active chromatin is spatially separated from silent heterochromatin, a large fraction of which is located at the nuclear periphery.

Rapid epigenetic adaptation to uncontrolled heterochromatin spreading
eLife, 2015 Heterochromatin, a highly compact chromatin state characterized by histone H3K9 methylation and HP1 protein binding, silences the underlying DNA and influences the expression of neighboring genes.

Maternal depletion of Piwi, a component of the RNAi system, impacts heterochromatin formation in Drosophila. [PDF]
PLoS Genetics, 2013 A persistent question in epigenetics is how heterochromatin is targeted for assembly at specific domains, and how that chromatin state is faithfully transmitted.

Genome mapping and characterization of the
BMC Genomics, 2010 Background Heterochromatin plays an important role in chromosome function and gene regulation. Despite the availability of polytene chromosomes and genome sequence, the heterochromatin of the major malaria vector Anopheles gambiae has not been mapped and
