This study shows that perinuclear telomere anchoring via Lem2 is essential for Ustilago maydis to infect plants, as its deletion disrupts nuclear migration and leads to infection failure.

This study identifies domain-specific heterochromatin regulators in Schizosaccharomyces pombe using quantitative methods and genetic screening, revealing Dhm2's role in heterochromatin maintenance and replication fidelity.

The paper systematically studies sirtuins in Ustilago maydis, showing Sir2 modulates dimorphic switching and pathogenic development by repressing biotrophic gene expression without histone deacetylation.

This study shows Lem2, an inner nuclear membrane protein in S. pombe, recruits exosome co-factors to the nuclear periphery to regulate RNA degradation and coordinate transcripts during the mitosis-to-meiosis switch.

The paper identifies gene regulators that influence heterochromatin spreading in different chromatin contexts using a fission yeast deletion library and sensor system.

The paper identifies a mechanism by which Set1/COMPASS prevents heterochromatin invasion at euchromatic sites through inhibition of Suv39/Clr4 and disruption of nucleosome stability.
