Polycomb repression works without Siesta

Tatyana G. Kahn, Andres Garrido, A. A. Yushkova, Maria Kim, Alexander Glotov, Sweda Sreekumar, Jan Larsson, Yuri B. Schwartz

The paper shows that variant RING1 complexes in Drosophila can ubiquitylate H2A without being part of the Polycomb repression system, and that H2A ubiquitylation has minimal impact on transcriptional repression.

The role of H3K36 methylation and associated methyltransferases in chromosome-specific gene regulation

Henrik Lindehell, Alexander Glotov, Eshagh Dorafshan, Yuri B. Schwartz, Jan Larsson

This study investigates the role of H3K36 methylation and methyltransferases in chromosome-specific gene regulation in Drosophila, showing their importance in balancing transcriptional output for the male X-chromosome and 4th chromosome.

Genetic dissection reveals the role of Ash1 domains in counteracting Polycomb repression

Eshagh Dorafshan, Tatyana G. Kahn, Alexander Glotov, Mikhail Savitsky, Yuri B. Schwartz

This study identifies the domains of Ash1 required to counteract Polycomb repression in Drosophila, showing that the BAH, PHD, and SET domains are essential while AT hooks are not.
