Abstract excerpt
The male-specific-lethal (MSL) proteins in Drosophila melanogaster serve to adjust gene expression levels in male flies containing a single X chromosome to equal those in females with a double dose of X-linked genes. Together with noncoding roX RNA, MSL proteins form the "dosage compensation complex" (DCC), which interacts selectively with the X chromosome to restrict the transcription-activating histone H4...
