Chromatin landscape of budding yeast acquiring H3K9 methylation and its reader molecule HP1

Taiki Shimizu, Kei Fukuda, Chikako Shimura, Jun‐ichi Nakayama, Masaya Oki, Yoichi Shinkai

This study introduces H3K9 methylation and HP1 into budding yeast to examine their role in heterochromatin formation, finding they do not significantly alter chromatin structure or transcription.

Transfer RNA Genes Affect Chromosome Structure and Function via Local Effects

Omar Hamdani, Namrita Dhillon, Tsung-Han S. Hsieh, Takahiro Fujita, Josefina Ocampo, Jacob G. Kirkland, Josh Lawrimore, Tetsuya J. Kobayashi, Brandon Friedman, Derek Fulton, Kenneth Y. Wu, Răzvan V. Chereji, Masaya Oki, Kerry Bloom, David J Clark, , Rohinton T. Kamakaka

This study shows that removing tRNA genes from a chromosome does not broadly disrupt chromosome folding but affects local nucleosome positioning and SMC protein binding, as well as centromere and heterochromatin clustering.
