Safeguarding <i>Drosophila</i> female germ cell identity depends on an H3K9me3 mini domain guided by a ZAD zinc finger protein
2022-09-04
Abstract excerpt
H3K9me3-based gene silencing is a conserved strategy for securing cell fate, but the mechanisms controlling lineage-specific installation of this epigenetic mark remain unclear. In Drosophila , H3K9 methylation plays an essential role in securing female germ cell fate by silencing lineage inappropriate phf7 transcription. Thus, phf7 regulation in the female germline provides a powerful system to dissect the mol...
