In this study we show that loss-of-function alleles of the JIL-1 histone H3S10 kinase act as enhancers of position-effect variegation at pericentric sites whereas the gain-of-function JIL-1(Su(var)3-1[3]) allele acts as a suppressor strongly supporting a functional role for JIL-1 in maintaining euchromatic chromatin and counteracting heterochromatic spreading and gene silencing.
在本研究中,我们表明,JIL-1组蛋白H3S10激酶的功能丧失等位基因在着丝粒周围位点作为位置效应斑驳的增强子,而功能获得性JIL-1(Su(var)3-1[3])等位基因作为抑制子,有力地支持了JIL-1在维持常染色质、对抗异染色质扩散和基因沉默方面的功能作用。
