Chapter 3: Results
3.1 In fission yeast, condensins are involved in gene silencing at rDNA region, but not at centromeres
3.2 Factors required for condensin accumulation at rDNA in mitotic metaphase are involved in rDNA silencing
3.3 Nucleolar proteins Dnt1, Rrn5 and Nucl, but not Pcs1 and Mde4, are involved in gene silencing at rDNA region
3.4 Disruption of nucleolar structure by mutations in nuc1+ and rrn5+ does not lead to enhanced centromeric silencing
3.5 RNAi system affects rDNA silencing probably through a related mechanism from condensins
