Developmental variation of the SUUR protein binding correlates with gene regulation and specific chromatin types in D. melanogaster.

Maksimov DA1, Koryakov DE, Belyakin SN.
Chromosoma.Chromosoma.2014 Jun;123(3):253-64. doi: 10.1007/s00412-013-0445-6. Epub 2013 Nov 29.
Eukaryotic genomes are organized in large chromatin domains that maintain proper gene activity in the cell. These domains may be permissive or repressive to the transcription of underlying genes. Based on its protein makeup, chromatin in Drosophila cell culture has been recently categorized into fiv
