The SUMO ligase Su(var)2-10 controls eu- and heterochromatic gene expression via establishment of H3K9 trimethylation and negative feedback regulation

Maria Ninova, Baira K. Godneeva, Yung-Chia Ariel Chen…·Katalin Fejes Tóth

The paper shows that Su(var)2-10 regulates gene expression in euchromatin and heterochromatin by establishing H3K9me3 and providing negative feedback.
