Activation of transcription through histone H4 acetylation by MOF, an acetyltransferase essential for dosage compensation in Drosophila.

Athfah Akhtar, P. H. B. Becker
Molecular cell
2000

Dosage compensation in Drosophila involves a 2-fold increase in transcription from the single male X relative to the two female X chromosomes. Regulation at the level of the chromosome involves… (More)

Chromatin-remodelling factor CHRAC contains the ATPases ISWI and topoisomerase II.

Patrick Daniel Varga-Weisz, Matthias Wilm, E. Bonte, Kevin Dumas, M. Mann, P. H. B. Becker
Nature
1997

Repressive chromatin structures need to be unravelled to allow DNA-binding proteins access to their target sequences. This de-repression constitutes an important point at which transcription and… (More)

A CAF-1-PCNA-mediated chromatin assembly pathway triggered by sensing DNA damage.

Jonathan G. Moggs, Pierre De Grandi, +4 authors Genevi eve Almouzni
Molecular and cellular biology
2000

Sensing DNA damage is crucial for the maintenance of genomic integrity and cell cycle progression. The participation of chromatin in these events is becoming of increasing interest. We show that the… (More)

ATP-dependent nucleosome disruption at a heat-shock promoter mediated by binding of GAGA transcription factor.

Tadasuke Tsukiyama, P. H. B. Becker, C. Wu
Nature
1994

Genetic control elements are usually situated in local regions of chromatin that are hypersensitive to structural probes such as DNase I. We have reconstructed the chromatin structure of the hsp70… (More)

Chromodomains are protein-RNA interaction modules.

Athfah Akhtar, Dana Zink, P. H. B. Becker
Nature
2000

In Drosophila, compensation for the reduced dosage of genes located on the single male X chromosome involves doubling their expression in relation to their counterparts on female X chromosomes.… (More)

Association and spreading of the Drosophila dosage compensation complex from a discrete roX1 chromatin entry site.

Y. Kageyama, Gabrielle Mengus, +5 authors Masatoshi Kuroda
The EMBO journal
2001

In Drosophila, dosage compensation is controlled by the male-specific lethal (MSL) complex consisting of MSL proteins and roX RNAs. The MSL complex is specifically localized on the male X chromosome… (More)

Molecular cloning and expression of a hexameric Drosophila heat shock factor subject to negative regulation.

Joachim Clos, J. Timothy Westwood, P. H. B. Becker, Steven P Wilson, K. Lambert, C. Wu
Cell
1990

We report the cloning of the transcriptional activator of heat shock genes, HSF, from Drosophila. The predicted sequence of Drosophila HSF protein is surprisingly divergent from that of yeast HSF,… (More)

dMi-2 and ISWI chromatin remodelling factors have distinct nucleosome binding and mobilization properties.

Anja Brehm, Gernot Längst, +5 authors P. H. B. Becker
The EMBO journal
2000

Mi-2 and ISWI, two members of the Snf2 superfamily of ATPases, reside in separate ATP-dependent chromatin remodelling complexes. These complexes differ in their biochemical properties and are… (More)

Nucleosome mobilization and positioning by ISWI-containing chromatin-remodeling factors.

Gernot Längst, P. H. B. Becker
Journal of cell science
2001

ATP-dependent chromatin-remodeling machines of the SWI/SNF family are involved in many cellular processes in eukaryotic nuclei, such as transcription, replication, repair and recombination.… (More)

The contributions of age and sex to variation in common tern population growth rate.

Thomas H G Ezard, P. H. B. Becker, Tracey Coulson
The Journal of animal ecology
2006

1. The decomposition of population growth rate into contributions from different demographic rates has many applications, ranging from evolutionary biology to conservation and management. Demographic… (More)
