H2A.Z levels control the timing of major events at the maternal-zygotic transition

Pakinee Phromsiri, Xiaolu Wei, Claire E. Makowski, Noah J. Reger, Duy K. Nguyen, Humaira Marzia Alam, Yuki Shindo, Amanda A. Amodeo, Patrick J. Murphy, Fanju W. Meng, Michael Andreas Welte

This study shows that H2A.Z levels act as a timer for the maternal-zygotic transition in Drosophila and zebrafish, influencing developmental timing through both nuclear and non-nuclear mechanisms.

Competition for H2A.Z between genes and repetitive elements establishes response to anti-viral immune activation

Fanju W. Meng, Kristin E. Murphy, Claire E. Makowski, Patrick J. Murphy

The paper shows that H2A.Z levels influence sensitivity to retroviral activation by shifting its distribution between gene promoters and repetitive elements in zebrafish embryos.
