Thomas S, Soltani-Bejnood M, Roth P, Dorn R, Logsdon Jr J, McKee B
Cell . 2005 Nov; 123(4):555-68. PMID: 16286005
In Drosophila males, homologous chromosomes segregate by an unusual process involving physical connections not dependent on recombination. We have identified two meiotic proteins specifically required for this process. Stromalin in...

Naumann K, Fischer A, Hofmann I, Krauss V, Phalke S, Irmler K, et al.
EMBO J . 2005 Mar; 24(7):1418-29. PMID: 15775980
SU(VAR)3-9 like histone methyltransferases control heterochromatic domains in eukaryotes. In Arabidopsis, 10 SUVH genes encode SU(VAR)3-9 homologues where SUVH1, SUVH2 and SUVH4 (KRYPTONITE) represent distinct subgroups of SUVH genes. Loss...

Gabler M, Volkmar M, Weinlich S, Herbst A, Dobberthien P, Sklarss S, et al.
Genetics . 2004 Nov; 169(2):723-36. PMID: 15520256
The modifier of mdg4, mod(mdg4), locus in Drosophila melanogaster represents a new type of complex gene in which functional diversity is resolved by mRNA trans-splicing. A protein family of >30...

Krauss V, Dorn R
Gene . 2004 Apr; 331:165-76. PMID: 15094203
The modifier of mdg4 (mod[mdg4]) locus of Drosophila melanogaster (Dme) encodes chromatin proteins which are involved in position effect variegation, establishment of chromatin boundaries, nerve pathfinding, meiotic chromosome pairing and...

Dorn R, Krauss V
Genetica . 2003 May; 117(2-3):165-77. PMID: 12723696
The modifier of mdg4 (mod(mdg4)) gene of Drosophila melanogaster has been identified in many different genetic assays. It has been independently identified through mutations isolated for their effects on position...

Schotta G, Ebert A, Dorn R, Reuter G
Semin Cell Dev Biol . 2003 Jan; 14(1):67-75. PMID: 12524009
In position-effect variegation (PEV) genes become silenced by heterochromatisation. Genetic dissection of this process has been performed by means of dominant suppressor [Su(var)] and enhancer [E(var)] mutations. Selective genetic screens...

Schotta G, Ebert A, Krauss V, Fischer A, Hoffmann J, Rea S, et al.
EMBO J . 2002 Feb; 21(5):1121-31. PMID: 11867540
Su(var)3-9 is a dominant modifier of heterochromatin-induced gene silencing. Like its mammalian and Schizosaccharomyces pombe homologues, Su(var) 3-9 encodes a histone methyltransferase (HMTase), which selectively methylates histone H3 at lysine...
