The paper shows that CHD4 in the ChAHP complex antagonizes CTCF and silences transposons, while HP1 proteins are not required for these functions.

The paper identifies ChAHP as a repressor of SINE B2 elements by inhibiting TFIIIB recruitment, revealing a novel mechanism for controlling POL III-dependent transcription.

The paper creates a comprehensive atlas of transcription factor interactions in S. pombe using experimental methods and introduces a web tool for exploring the data.

This study identifies BMP-SMAD1 signaling as a pathway that maintains cortical excitation-inhibition balance by regulating PV interneuron function and connectivity in adult mice.

This study identifies ChAHP2, a protein complex that controls ERVs and LINEs by binding H3K9me3, and shows that ChAHP and ChAHP2 work together to repress retrotransposons.

This study identifies NRDE2 and CCDC174 as RNA-binding proteins that enhance splicing of weak 5' splice sites by directly interacting with U1 snRNA in mouse ES cells.
