In Saccharomyces cerevisiae, several nonessential mechanisms including histone variant H2A.Z deposition and transcription-associated histone H3 methylation antagonize the local spread of Sir-dependent silent chromatin into adjacent euchromatic regions. However, it is unclear how and where these factors cooperate. To probe this question, we performed systematic genetic array screens for gene deletions that cause a synthetic growth defect in an htz1Delta mutant but not in an htz1Delta sir3Delta do ...[more]
