J-domain proteins bridge the PKL and ATRX complex to transcription factors to fine-tune gene expression via H3.3 deposition

Shuya Wang, Colette Lafontaine Picard, Zhongshou Wu, Yan He, Alexander Barinsky, Evan K. Lin, Russell Chuang, Lu Li, Jihui Sha, James Wohlschlegel, Suhua Feng, Steven E. Jacobsen

The paper identifies J-domain proteins as mediators of PKL recruitment to gene promoters, enabling H3.3 deposition and influencing gene expression through interactions with transcription factors and ATRX.

Multiple redundant mechanisms account for the majority of gene silencing downstream of DNA methylation

Shuya Wang, Zhongshou Wu, Zheng Li, Andrea Movilli, Li He, Yuxing Zhou, Evan K. Lin, Russell Chuang, Wai Wai Thiri, Sean Convery, Suhua Feng, Detlef Weigel, Steven E. Jacobsen

The paper shows that multiple redundant mechanisms account for most gene silencing downstream of DNA methylation, with loss of these pathways causing widespread derepression and genomic changes.

CDCA7 facilitates MET1-mediated CG DNA methylation maintenance in centromeric heterochromatin via histone H1

Shuya Wang, Tong Li, Matthew Naish, Russell Chuang, Evan K. Lin, Christian Fonkalsrud, Yan He, Suhua Feng, Ian R. Henderson, Steven E. Jacobsen

The paper shows CDCA7A and CDCA7B maintain CG methylation in centromeric heterochromatin by remodeling H1-containing nucleosomes, with H1 having an inhibitory role.
