Journal ArticleDOI
The ISWI chromatin-remodeling protein is required for gene expression and the maintenance of higher order chromatin structure in vivo.
Renate Deuring,Laura Fanti,Laura Fanti,Jennifer A. Armstrong,Melinda Sarte,Ophelia Papoulas,Matthias Prestel,Gary Daubresse,Megan Verardo,Sarah L. Moseley,Maria Berloco,Maria Berloco,Toshio Tsukiyama,Carl Wu,Sergio Pimpinelli,John W. Tamkun +15 more
TL;DR: It is found that ISWI mutations affect both cell viability and gene expression during Drosophila development and cause striking alterations in the structure of the male X chromosome.
Journal ArticleDOI
A SWI/SNF–Related Chromatin Remodeling Complex, E-RC1, Is Required for Tissue-Specific Transcriptional Regulation by EKLF In Vitro
TL;DR: A member of the SWI/SNF family acts directly in transcriptional activation and may regulate subsets of genes by selectively interacting with specific DNA-binding proteins.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Drosophila BRM complex facilitates global transcription by RNA polymerase II.
Jennifer A. Armstrong,Ophelia Papoulas,Gary Daubresse,Adam S. Sperling,John T. Lis,Matthew P. Scott,John W. Tamkun +6 more
TL;DR: Examination of the distribution of the BRM complex on larval salivary gland polytene chromosomes suggests that the chromatin remodeling activity of theBRM complex plays a general role in facilitating transcription by RNA polymerase II.
Journal ArticleDOI
ISWI regulates higher-order chromatin structure and histone H1 assembly in vivo.
Davide Corona,Giorgia Siriaco,Jennifer A. Armstrong,Natalia Snarskaya,Stephanie A McClymont,Matthew P. Scott,John W. Tamkun +6 more
TL;DR: It is suggested that ISWI plays a global role in chromatin compaction in vivo by promoting the association of the linker histone H1 with chromatin.
Journal ArticleDOI
The Drosophila trithorax group protein Kismet facilitates an early step in transcriptional elongation by RNA Polymerase II.
Shrividhya Srinivasan,Jennifer A. Armstrong,Renate Deuring,Ina K. Dahlsveen,Helen McNeill,John W. Tamkun +5 more
TL;DR: Examination of the distribution of the Drosophila trithorax group gene kismet (kis) on larval salivary gland polytene chromosomes suggests that KIS-L facilitates an early step in transcriptional elongation by Pol II.
