Probes of chromatin accessibility in the Drosophila bithorax complex respond differently to Polycomb-mediated repression.

The EMBO journal - 1 Feb 1996

McCall K, Bender W

Abstract excerpt

The Polycomb group (PcG) of genes are required for maintenance of the repressed state of the homeotic genes in Drosophila. There are similarities between the PcG repression and mating-type silencing in yeast or heterochromatic position effect in Drosophila, which suggest that PcG repression may involve a highly compacted chromatin structure. To test for such a structure, heterologous DNA- binding proteins were...
