Abstract excerpt
Eukaryotic genomes can be organized into distinct domains of heterochromatin or euchromatin. In the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe, assembly of heterochromatin at the silent mating-type region is critical for cell fate determination in the form of mating-type switching. Here, we report that the ubiquitin ligase, Msc1, is a critical factor required for proper cell fate determination in S. pombe. In the...
