SAF-A/HNRNPU regulates euchromatin dynamics and is required for nuclear envelope integrity

Kaitlyn Alimenti, Matteo Mazzocca, Anders S. Hansen, Michael D. Blower

This study shows that SAF-A/HNRNPU regulates euchromatin dynamics and is essential for maintaining nuclear envelope integrity through transcription-dependent mechanisms.

Role of the SAF-A SAP domain in X inactivation, transcription, splicing, and cell proliferation

Judith A. Sharp, Emily Sparago, Rachael Thomas…·Michael D. Blower

This study investigates the role of SAF-A's SAP domain and its serines S14 and S26 in X inactivation, gene expression, splicing, and cell proliferation, finding they are critical for XIST RNA localization and cell proliferation but not gene expression or splicing.
