Localization of the pioneer factor GAF to subnuclear foci is driven by DNA binding and required to silence satellite repeat expression

Marissa M Gaskill, Isabella V Soluri, Annemarie E. Branks, Alan P. Boka, Michael R. Stadler, Katherine J. Vietor, Hao-Yu S. Huang, Tyler J. Gibson, Mustafa Mir, Shelby A. Blythe, Melissa M. Harrison

This study shows that the pioneer factor GAF localizes to subnuclear foci through binding to GA-satellite repeats, which is necessary for forming heterochromatin and silencing satellite repeat expression.

The control of transcriptional memory by stable mitotic bookmarking

Maëlle Bellec, Jérémy Dufourt, George Hunt, Hélène Lenden Hasse, Antonio Trullo, Amal Zine El Aabidine, Marie Lamarque, Marissa M Gaskill, Héloïse Faure-Gautron, Mattias Mannervik, Melissa M. Harrison, Jean‐Christophe Andrau, Cyril Favard, Ovidiu Radulescu, Mounia Lagha

This study shows that the transcription factor GAF acts as a stable mitotic bookmark during zygotic genome activation in Drosophila embryos, enabling rapid transcriptional activation after mitosis.

GAF is essential for zygotic genome activation and chromatin accessibility in the early Drosophila embryo

Marissa M Gaskill, Tyler J. Gibson, Elizabeth D. Larson, Melissa M. Harrison

The paper identifies GAF as a maternally encoded factor essential for zygotic genome activation and chromatin accessibility during the maternal-to-zygotic transition in Drosophila.
