Project description:Here, we report the high-throughput profiling of histone modification (H3K9me2) in fission yeast Schizosaccharomyces pombe. We generated genome-wide H3K9me2 maps of fission yeast mutants in swo1-26 (temperature sensitive, ts) cells at 25℃ and 37℃. We find that H3K9me2 enrichment at heterochromatin regions, especially at the mating-type locus and subtelomeres, is compromised, suggesting heterochromatin assembly defects.
Project description:The cells with the impaired Hsp40/Hsp70 chaperone complex Mas5/Ssa2 exhibit a transriptional response that is simillar to that of cells with the elevated levels of the heat-shock factor 1 (Hsf1) or heat-stressed wild type fission yeast cells
