X chromosome sites autonomously recruit the dosage compensation complex in Drosophila males.

PLoS biology - 1 Nov 2004

Fagegaltier Delphine, Baker Bruce S

Abstract excerpt

It has been proposed that dosage compensation in Drosophila males occurs by binding of two core proteins, MSL-1 and MSL-2, to a set of 35-40 X chromosome "entry sites" that serve to nucleate mature complexes, termed compensasomes, which then spread to neighboring sequences to double expression of most X-linked genes. Here we show that any piece of the X chromosome with which compensasomes are associated in...
