Journal ArticleDOI
H3K79 methylation directly precedes the histone‐to‐protamine transition in mammalian spermatids and is sensitive to bacterial infections
Christine Dottermusch-Heidel,E. S. Klaus,Nicola Helena Gonzalez,Sudhanshu Bhushan,Andreas Meinhardt,Martin Bergmann,Renate Renkawitz-Pohl,Christina Rathke,Klaus Steger +8 more
TL;DR: The results indicated that H3K79 methylation is a histone modification conserved in Drosophila, mouse, rat and human spermatids and may be a prerequisite for proper chromatin reorganization.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Arf-GEF Schizo/Loner regulates N-cadherin to induce fusion competence of Drosophila myoblasts
TL;DR: A model where N-cadherin must be removed from the myoblast membrane to induce a protein-free zone at the cell-cell contact point to permit fusion is proposed.
Journal ArticleDOI
Three levels of regulation lead to protamine and Mst77F expression in Drosophila.
Bridlin Barckmann,Xin Chen,Sophie Kaiser,Sunil Jayaramaiah-Raja,Christina Rathke,Christine Dottermusch-Heidel,Margaret T. Fuller,Renate Renkawitz-Pohl +7 more
TL;DR: Evidence is presented that spermatids contain the machinery to activate or stabilize protamine accumulation for sperm chromatin components, and that the proper spatiotemporal expression pattern of major sperm Chromatin components depends on cell-type-specific mechanisms of transcriptional and translational control.
Journal ArticleDOI
H3K79 methylation: a new conserved mark that accompanies H4 hyperacetylation prior to histone-to-protamine transition in Drosophila and rat.
Christine Dottermusch-Heidel,Stefanie M. K. Gärtner,Isabel Tegeder,Christina Rathke,Bridlin Barckmann,Bridlin Barckmann,Marek Bartkuhn,Sudhanshu Bhushan,Klaus Steger,Andreas Meinhardt,Renate Renkawitz-Pohl +10 more
TL;DR: It is shown for the first time that H3K79 methylation is a conserved feature preceding the histone-to-protamine transition in Drosophila melanogaster and rat.
Journal ArticleDOI
Drosophila Kette coordinates myoblast junction dissolution and the ratio of Scar-to-WASp during myoblast fusion.
Julia Hamp,Andreas Löwer,Christine Dottermusch-Heidel,Lothar Beck,Bernard Moussian,Matthias Flötenmeyer,Susanne-Filiz Önel +6 more
TL;DR: The Drosophila protein Kette is essential for myoblast fusion, and it controls the dissolution of electron-dense plaques and the ratio of Scar and WASp proteins in fusion-competent myoblasts during fusion pore formation.
