Abstract excerpt
The HELLS (helicase, lymphoid specific, also known as lymphoid-specific helicase) protein is related to the SNF2 (sucrose non-fermentable 2) family of chromatin remodeling ATPases. It is required for efficient DNA methylation in mammals, particularly at heterochromatin-located repetitive sequences. In this study, we investigated the interaction of HELLS with chromatin and used an ATPase-deficient HELLS variant to...
