Phosphorylation of HP1/Swi6 relieves competition with Suv39/Clr4 on nucleosomes and enables H3K9 trimethyl spreading.

Dana R Kennedy, Joël P.C. Lemiere, Ahmed A. A. Amine, Eric W. Martin, Catherine Tan, Eric Simental, Julian R. Braxton, Robert A. Maxwell, Bassem Al‐Sady

This study shows that phosphorylation of HP1/Swi6 reduces competition with Suv39/Clr4 by altering its nucleosome affinity and oligomerization, promoting H3K9me3 spreading in S. pombe.

Intracellular diffusion in the cytoplasm increases with cell size in fission yeast

Catherine Tan, Michael Charles Lanz, Matthew P. Swaffer, Jan Marcel Skotheim, Fred Chang

The paper shows that intracellular diffusion in fission yeast increases with cell size, linked to changes in proteome composition and DNA-to-cytoplasm ratio.

Local chromatin context dictates the genetic determinants of the heterochromatin spreading reaction

R.A. Greenstein, Henry Ng, Ramón Ramos Barrales, Catherine Tan, Sigurd J Braun, Bassem Al‐Sady

The paper identifies gene regulators that influence heterochromatin spreading in different chromatin contexts using a fission yeast deletion library and sensor system.
