Journal ArticleDOI

The histone H3.3 chaperone HIRA is essential for chromatin assembly in the male pronucleus

TL;DR: It is shown that ssm is a point mutation in the Hira gene, thus demonstrating that the histone chaperone protein HIRA is required for nucleosome assembly during sperm nucleus decondensation, and that nucleosomes containing H3.3, and not H3, are specifically assembled in paternal Drosophila chromatin before the first round of DNA replication.
Journal ArticleDOI

The Drosophila ATM homologue Mei-41 has an essential checkpoint function at the midblastula transition.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors show that embryos lacking Mei-41, a Drosophila homologue of the ATM tumor suppressor, fail to terminate syncytial division following mitosis 13, and degenerate without forming cells.
Journal ArticleDOI

Drosophila regulatory factor X is necessary for ciliated sensory neuron differentiation.

TL;DR: Rfx is identified as an essential regulator of ciliated sensory neuron differentiation in Drosophila and its central role in sensory cilium differentiation is demonstrated.
Journal ArticleDOI

Transcriptional control of genes involved in ciliogenesis: a first step in making cilia.

TL;DR: Different transcription factors playing specific roles in cilia biogenesis and physiology have also been discovered and all these factors are subject to complex regulation to allow for the dynamic and specific regulation of ciliogenesis in metazoans.
Journal ArticleDOI

Identification of novel regulatory factor X (RFX) target genes by comparative genomics in Drosophila species

TL;DR: This work demonstrates the accuracy of the X-box screen and will be useful for the identification of candidate genes for human ciliopathies, as several human homologs of RFX target genes are known to be involved in diseases, such as Bardet-Biedl syndrome.
