Dominant mutants of the Saccharomyces cerevisiae ASF1 histone chaperone bypass the need for CAF-1 in transcriptional silencing by altering histone and Sir protein recruitment.

abstract：:Single nucleotide polymorphisms (SNPs) are used widely for detecting quantitative trait loci, or for searching for causal variants of diseases. Nevertheless, structural variations such as copy-number variants (CNVs) represent a large part of natural genetic diversity, and contribute significantly to trait variation. N...

abstract：:In fission yeast, the septation initiation network (SIN) is thought to promote cytokinesis by downstream activation of Rho1, a conserved GTPase that controls cell growth and division. Here we show that Etd1 and PP2A-Pab1, antagonistic regulators of SIN, are Rho1 regulators. Our genetic and biochemical studies indicate...
