Dosage compensation defects due to roX RNA deletion are rescued by recalibration of X/autosome stoichiometry

Fotios Gkountromichos, George Yankson, Muhunden Jayakrishnan…·Peter B. Becker

The paper shows that deletion of roX RNA in Drosophila male cells leads to X chromosome duplication to compensate for dosage imbalance, and full-length roX2 restores normal function.

Physical interaction between MSL2 and CLAMP assures direct cooperativity and prevents competition at composite binding sites

Nikolas Eggers, Fotios Gkountromichos, Silke Krause…·Peter B. Becker

The paper investigates the cooperative binding of MSL2 and CLAMP to MREs on the X chromosome, showing that their physical interaction prevents competition and enhances affinity at composite binding sites.
