Unfolding the mysteries of heterochromatin

Current Opinion in Genetics and Development, 1998
The function of heterochromatin has not been well understood. Recent studies, however, demonstrate that heterochromatin is essential for proper chromosome behavior. The silencing of euchromatic genes by heterochromatin has been exploited to understand the molecular nature of heterochromatin.

Tracking heterochromatin

Chromosoma, 1995
The Second International Workshop on Drosophila Heterochromatin, held in Honolulu from January 4-7, 1995, brought together about 70 scientists from the US, Canada, Germany, Italy, Russia, and the Netherlands. After the first of these international meetings, five years ago, Mary Lou Pardue and Wolfgang Hennig, in these columns, commented on its ...

Heterochromatin

Chromosoma, 1999
The properties of heterochromatin are reconsidered in the context of our present understanding of gene silencing, telomeric and centromeric properties, position-effect variegation and X-chromosome inactivation. It is proposed that the chromatin in heterochromatic chromosomal regions is generally similar in its molecular composition to that in silenced ...

Heterochromatin definition and function

Nature Reviews Molecular Cell Biology, 2023
Heterochromatin is a key characteristic of eukaryotic genomes. Since its cytological description nearly 100 years ago, our understanding of heterochromatin features and functions, including transcription repression and genome stability, have continuously evolved.

Deconfining heterochromatin for expression

Nature Cell Biology, 2021
Lineage-specific gene expression programs in multicellular organisms are controlled by balanced ON and OFF signals, amongst which heterochromatin regulates expression by restricting activation cues. A study now provides insights into mammalian heterochromatin organisation, function and interplay with lineage-specific transcription factors.
