The Mechanism Of Regulation Of Autosomal Heterochromatic Genes In drosophila Melanogaster Males By rox Rna And Msl Proteins
… to facilitate transcription. Loss of <i>roX</i> RNA, an essential component of the MSL complex, reduces expression from X-linked genes. Surprisingly, loss of <i>roX</i> RNA also reduces expression from genes situated in proximal heterochromatin and on the small, heterochromatic …

Investigation of the roX RNAs and the RNA Helicase MLE in Dosage Compensation in Drosophila melanogaster
… are XX, dosage compensation is acheived by approximately two-fold upregulation of transcription of the single male X chromosome. This upregulation is mediated by the dosage compensation complex (DCC), which is assembled in a sequential manner on the male X chromosome and is composed of the two …

Sex And Heterochromatin: An Investigation Of Sexual Dimorphism In Drosophila Melanogaster
… interphase. Previous studies established that roX RNA and some of the Male Specific Lethal (MSL) proteins, all components of the dosage compensation complex, are required for full expression of autosomal heterochromatic genes in male flies but not in females. This was surprising since …
