The ACF Chromatin Remodeling Complex is Essential for Polycomb Repression

Elizabeth T. Wiles, Colleen C. Mumford, Kevin J. McNaught, Hideki Tanizawa, Eric U. Selker

The paper identifies the ACF chromatin remodeling complex as essential for Polycomb repression in Neurospora crassa by analyzing H3K27-methylated chromatin.

Evolutionarily ancient BAH-PHD protein mediates Polycomb silencing

Elizabeth T. Wiles, Kevin J. McNaught, Saumya M. De Silva, Gurmeet Kaur, Jeanne M. L. Selker, Tereza Ormsby, L. Aravind, Catherine A. Musselman, Eric U. Selker

The paper identifies EPR-1 as an H3K27 methylation effector in Neurospora crassa and shows its evolutionary conservation across eukaryotes.

Identification of a PRC2 accessory subunit required for subtelomeric H3K27 methylation in Neurospora

Kevin J. McNaught, Elizabeth T. Wiles, Eric U. Selker

The paper identifies a PRC2 accessory subunit in Neurospora crassa that is required for subtelomeric H3K27 methylation and gene repression.

Marked Neurospora crassa strains for competition experiments and Bayesian methods for fitness estimates

Ilkka Kronholm, Tereza Ormsby, Kevin J. McNaught, Eric U. Selker, Tarmo Ketola

The paper constructs marked Neurospora crassa strains and develops a Bayesian method to estimate fitness in competition experiments, showing fitness differences related to mating type and a qde-2 mutation.

Telomere repeats induce domains of H3K27 methylation in Neurospora

Kirsty Jamieson, Kevin J. McNaught, Tereza Ormsby, Neena A. Leggett, Shinji Honda, Eric U. Selker

The paper shows that telomere repeats can induce H3K27 methylation domains in Neurospora crassa, revealing a cis-acting mechanism for heterochromatin formation.
