    Description: Heterochromatin formation at fission yeast centromeres is directed by RNA interference (RNAi). Noncoding transcripts derived from centromeric repeats are processed into small interfering RNAs (siRNAs) that direct the RNA-induced transcriptional silencing (RITS) effector complex to engage centromere transcripts, resulting in recruitment of the histone H3 lysine 9 methyltransferase Clr4, and hence silencing. We have found that defects in specific splicing factors, but not splicing itself, affect the generation of centromeric siRNAs and consequently centromeric heterochromatin integrity. Moreover, splicing factors physically associate with Cid12, a component of the RNAi machinery, and with centromeric chromatin, consistent with a direct role in RNAi. We propose that spliceosomal complexes provide a platform for siRNA generation and hence facilitate effective centromere repeat silencing.〈br /〉〈br /〉〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2585287/" target="_blank"〉〈img src="https://static.pubmed.gov/portal/portal3rc.fcgi/4089621/img/3977009" border="0"〉〈/a〉   〈a href="https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC2585287/" target="_blank"〉This paper as free author manuscript - peer-reviewed and accepted for publication〈/a〉〈br /〉〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Bayne, Elizabeth H -- Portoso, Manuela -- Kagansky, Alexander -- Kos-Braun, Isabelle C -- Urano, Takeshi -- Ekwall, Karl -- Alves, Flavia -- Rappsilber, Juri -- Allshire, Robin C -- 065061/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 065061/Z/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- 067844/Wellcome Trust/United Kingdom -- G0301153/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- G0301153/ID:69173/Medical Research Council/United Kingdom -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2008 Oct 24;322(5901):602-6. doi: 10.1126/science.1164029.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Wellcome Trust Centre for Cell Biology and Institute of Cell Biology, School of Biological Sciences, University of Edinburgh, 6.34 Swann Building, Edinburgh EH9 3JR, UK.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/18948543" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉

    Description: Natural interconversions between distinct somatic cell types have been reported in species as diverse as jellyfish and mice. The efficiency and reproducibility of some reprogramming events represent unexploited avenues in which to probe mechanisms that ensure robust cell conversion. We report that a conserved H3K27me3/me2 demethylase, JMJD-3.1, and the H3K4 methyltransferase Set1 complex cooperate to ensure invariant transdifferentiation (Td) of postmitotic Caenorhabditis elegans hindgut cells into motor neurons. At single-cell resolution, robust conversion requires stepwise histone-modifying activities, functionally partitioned into discrete phases of Td through nuclear degradation of JMJD-3.1 and phase-specific interactions with transcription factors that have conserved roles in cell plasticity and terminal fate selection. Our results draw parallels between epigenetic mechanisms underlying robust Td in nature and efficient cell reprogramming in vitro.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Notes: 〈/span〉Zuryn, Steven -- Ahier, Arnaud -- Portoso, Manuela -- White, Esther Redhouse -- Morin, Marie-Charlotte -- Margueron, Raphael -- Jarriault, Sophie -- New York, N.Y. -- Science. 2014 Aug 15;345(6198):826-9. doi: 10.1126/science.1255885.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Author address: 〈/span〉Department of Development and Stem Cells, Institut de Genetique et de Biologie Moleculaire et Cellulaire, CNRS UMR 7104/INSERM U964, Universite de Strasbourg, 67404 Illkirch CU Strasbourg, France. ; Institut Curie, INSERM U934, CNRS UMR3215, 26, Rue d'Ulm, 75005 Paris, France. ; Department of Development and Stem Cells, Institut de Genetique et de Biologie Moleculaire et Cellulaire, CNRS UMR 7104/INSERM U964, Universite de Strasbourg, 67404 Illkirch CU Strasbourg, France. sophie@igbmc.fr.〈br /〉〈span class="detail_caption"〉Record origin:〈/span〉 〈a href="http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/25124442" target="_blank"〉PubMed〈/a〉
