Stc1: A Critical Link between RNAi and Chromatin Modification Required for Heterochromatin Integrity
In fission yeast, RNAi directs heterochromatin formation at centromeres, telomeres, and the mating type locus. Noncoding RNAs transcribed from repeat elements generate siRNAs that are incorporated into the Argonaute-containing RITS complex and direct it to nascent homologous transcripts. This leads to recruitment of the CLRC complex, including the histone methyltransferase Clr4, promoting H3K9 ...
متن کاملHeterochromatin and RNAi are required to establish CENP-A chromatin at centromeres.
Heterochromatin is defined by distinct posttranslational modifications on histones, such as methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9), which allows heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1)-related chromodomain proteins to bind. Heterochromatin is frequently found near CENP-A chromatin, which is the key determinant of kinetochore assembly. We have discovered that the RNA interference (RNAi)-directed h...
متن کاملOn the connection between RNAi and heterochromatin at centromeres.
RNA interference (RNAi) is a conserved silencing mechanism whereby double-strand RNA induces specific down-regulation of homologous sequences. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, centromeric heterochromatin assembly is an RNAi-dependent process. Noncoding RNAs transcribed from pericentromeric repeat sequences are processed into short interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that direct the Argonau...
متن کاملRibonuclease Activity of Dis3 Is Required for Mitotic Progression and Provides a Possible Link between Heterochromatin and Kinetochore Function
BACKGROUND Cellular RNA metabolism has a broad range of functional aspects in cell growth and division, but its role in chromosome segregation during mitosis is only poorly understood. The Dis3 ribonuclease is a key component of the RNA-processing exosome complex. Previous isolation of the dis3-54 cold-sensitive mutant of fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe suggested that Dis3 is also requi...
متن کاملthe relationship between critical thinking and reading strategies
during the process of reading, sometimes learners use ineffective and inefficient strategies and some factors may influence their use of strategies. perhaps critical thinking is one of these factors. this study aims to identify those categories of reading strategies that are mostly used by iranian efl learners and to see if there is any significant relationship between the critical thinking abi...
