Abstract excerpt
Dosage compensation (DC) in Caenorhabditis elegans utilizes a condensin complex that resembles mitotic condensins but differs by 1 subunit, DPY-27. DPY-27 replaces SMC-4, one of the structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) proteins that is responsible for hydrolyzing ATP, required for the condensation of DNA and other mitotic condensin functions. To understand whether the ATPase function is required in DC, we...
