Heterochromatin in plant meiosis [PDF]
NucleusHeterochromatin is an organizational property of eukaryotic chromosomes, characterized by extensive DNA and histone modifications, that is associated with the silencing of transposable elements and repetitive sequences.

Heterochromatin revisited [PDF]
Nature Reviews Genetics, 2007 The formation of heterochromatin, which requires methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 and the subsequent recruitment of chromodomain proteins such as heterochromatin protein HP1, serves as a model for the role of histone modifications and chromatin assembly in epigenetic control of the genome.

The Cell Biology of Heterochromatin [PDF]
Cells, 2022 A conserved feature of virtually all higher eukaryotes is that the centromeres are embedded in heterochromatin. Here we provide evidence that this tight association between pericentric heterochromatin and the centromere is essential for proper metaphase ...

RNAi and Heterochromatin Assembly [PDF]
Cold Spring Harbor Perspectives in Biology, 2015 The involvement of RNA interference (RNAi) in heterochromatin formation has become clear largely through studies in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe and plants like Arabidopsis thaliana. This article discusses how heterochromatic small interfering RNAs are produced and how the RNAi machinery participates in the formation and function of ...

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.

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.

The highly dynamic heterochromatin protein Swi6 mediates degradation of heterochromatic transcripts [PDF]
, 2014 The aim of my thesis was to investigate the mechanism of heterochromatin repression mediated by heterochromatin protein Swi6 in S. pombe. Research over the years challenged the view of heterochromatin as a static and transcriptionally inert structure ...
