Drosophila ESC-like can substitute for ESC and becomes required for Polycomb silencing if ESC is absent

A Drosophila ESC-E(Z) protein complex is distinct from other polycomb group complexes and contains covalently modified ESC.

The extra sex combs (ESC) and Enhancer of zeste [E(Z)] proteins, members of the Polycomb group (PcG) of transcriptional repressors, interact directly and are coassociated in fly embryos. We report that these two proteins are components of a 600-kDa complex in embryos. Using gel filtration and affinity chromatography, we show that this complex is biochemically distinct from previously described ...

ESC ⋆ Supernova spectroscopy of non - ESC targets

Aims. We present the spectra of 36 Supernovae (SNe) of various types, obtained by the European Supernova Collaboration. Because of the spectral classification and the phase determination at their discovery the SNe did not warrant further study, and the spectra we present are the only available for the respective objects. In this paper we present and discuss this material using a new software fo...

ESC/Java2: Uniting ESC/Java and JML Progress and issues in building and using ESC/Java2

The ESC/Java tool was a lauded advance in effective static checking of realistic Java programs, but has become out-of-date with respect to Java and the Java Modeling Language (JML). The ESC/Java2 project, whose progress is described in this paper, builds on the final release of ESC/Java from DEC/SRC in several ways. It parses all of JML, thus can be used with the growing body of JML-annotated J...
