| Research Abstract |
In this research program, we tried to gain a better understanding of the molecular mechanisms underlying the establishment and maintenance of higher-order chromatin structure, heterochromatin. Using fission yeast as a model organism, we employed a genetic screening and successfully identified two novel RNAi factors, Ers1 and Dsh1, involved in heterochromatin assembly. Further analyses uncovered that these factors play roles in recruiting RNAi-effector complexes, such as RDRC, and promote siRNA production to form higher-order chromatin structure.
