Spt6 is required for heterochromatic silencing in the fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe.

Abstract excerpt

Spt6 is a conserved factor, critically required for several transcription- and chromatin-related processes. We now show that Spt6 and its binding partner, Iws1, are required for heterochromatic silencing in Schizosaccharomyces pombe. Our studies demonstrate that Spt6 is required for silencing of...
