Epigenetic maintenance of PRC2-repressed chromatin requires RTT109 but not H3K56 acetylation

Rochelle E. Yap, Felicia Ebot-Ojong, Abigail J. Ameri, Zachary Lewis

The paper identifies RTT109 as essential for maintaining PRC2-repressed chromatin in Neurospora crassa, showing it is required for epigenetic memory but not H3K56 acetylation.

Chromatin Assembly Factor 1 is required for normal structure and function of facultative heterochromatin in Neurospora crassa

Eduardo V. Torres, Rochelle E. Yap, Aileen R. Ferraro, Collin D. Link, Jacqueline F. Pelham, Zachary Lewis

This study shows that CAF-1 is necessary for proper structure and function of facultative heterochromatin in Neurospora crassa, working with PRC2 to silence transcription.
