(Submitter supplied) The highly conserved histone chaperone FACT (Facilitates Chromatin Transcription) is thought to contribute to the disassembly and reassembly of nucleosomes in the wake of RNA Polymerase II (Pol II) passage through chromatin. However, FACT’s roles in chromatin biology and transcriptional regulation in vivo in higher eukaryotes are not well understood. Here, we report that depletion of FACT leads to a reduction in the duration of promoter-proximal pausing by Pol II in Drosophila S2 cells. more...

(Submitter supplied) This SuperSeries is composed of the SubSeries listed below. FACT (Facilitates Chromatin Transcription) is an evolutionarily conserved histone chaperone that was initially identified as an activity capable of promoting RNA polymerase II transcription through nucleosomes in vitro. In this report, we describe a global analysis of FACT function in Pol II transcription in Drosophila. We present evidence that loss of FACT has a dramatic impact on Pol II elongation-coupled processes including H3K4 and H3K36 methylation, consistent with a role for FACT in coordinating histone modification and chromatin architecture during Pol II transcription. more...
