CHD chromatin remodelers and the transcription cycle

M Murawska, A Brehm - Transcription, 2011 - Taylor & Francis
It is well established that ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers modulate DNA access of

Histone H3 lysine 9 trimethylation and HP1γ favor inclusion of alternative exons

V Saint-André, E Batsché, C Rachez… - Nature structural & …, 2011 - nature.com
Pre-messenger RNAs (pre-mRNAs) maturation is initiated cotranscriptionally. It is therefore
conceivable that chromatin-borne information participates in alternative splicing. Here we …

Histone deacetylase activity modulates alternative splicing

J Hnilicová, S Hozeifi, E Dušková, J Icha… - PloS one, 2011 - journals.plos.org
There is increasing evidence to suggest that splicing decisions are largely made when the
nascent RNA is still associated with chromatin. Here we demonstrate that activity of histone …
