The histone chaperone FACT facilitates heterochromatin spreading by regulating histone turnover and H3K9 methylation states
Summary: Heterochromatin formation requires three distinct steps: nucleation, self-propagation (spreading) along the chromosome, and faithful maintenance after each replication cycle. Impeding any of those steps induces heterochromatin defects and improper gene expression. The essential histone chap...
