Pho dynamically interacts with Spt5 to facilitate transcriptional switches at the hsp70 locus

Abstract Background Numerous target genes of the Polycomb group (PcG) are transiently activated by a stimulus and subsequently repressed. However, mechanisms by which PcG proteins regulate such target genes remain elusive. Results We employed the heat shock-responsive hsp70 locus in Drosophila to st...
