The highly dynamic heterochromatin protein Swi6 mediates degradation of heterochromatic transcripts [PDF]
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 ...

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

Transcriptional gene silencing mutants in "Arabidopsis thaliana" and their impact on nuclear architecture and heterochromatin organization [PDF]
The epigenetic regulation of gene expression is defined by covalent modifications of DNA and histone tails as well as by chromatin structure and nuclear architecture.

Genome mapping and characterization of the
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

Regulation of heterochromatic RNA decay via heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) [PDF]
The central dogma of molecular biology describes the directional flow of biological information from DNA via RNA to protein. Information stored in DNA is copied to an mRNA molecule during the process of transcription.

The RNA Polymerase II-associated factor 1 complex represses small-RNA-mediated heterochromatin formation and gene silencing [PDF]
RNAi interference (RNAi) is a highly conserved regulatory mechanism employed by almost all Eukaryotes. With RNAi organisms can modulate the expression of endogenous genes and protect the integrity and identity of their genomes.

RNAi-mediated positive feedback loops are pivotal for the maintenance of heterochromatin, but how they are downregulated at heterochromatin-euchromatin borders is not well understood.

Summary: Heterochromatin functions as a scaffold for factors responsible for gene silencing and chromosome segregation. Heterochromatin can be assembled by multiple pathways, including RNAi and RNA surveillance.
