Previously, I found that the RSF complex transiently interacts with CENP-A and acts in CENP-A incorporation into centromeres. Therefore, I wanted to determine 1) how the RSF complex targets the centromere, 2) which are the synergic factors that help the RSF complex in the stabile retention of CENP-A chromatin and 3) how the RSF complex is involved in kinetochore assembly. To address these questions, I performed anti-FLAG chromatin immunoprecipitation of DT40 cells stably expressing FLAG-Rsf-I and found that RSF-associated DNA distributes along the genome, but a specific sharp peak overlaps the peak of the CENP-A-associated DNA. In addition, I found that the RSF complex mainly interacts with the FACT complex, which is another chromatin remodeling complex that we also spotted at centromere and found that interacts with CENP-A. I demonstrated that the Rsf1 amount was reduced in cells with knockout of FACTp80(SSRP1).

此前，我发现 RSF 复合物与 CENP-A 短暂相互作用，并在 CENP-A 掺入着丝粒中发挥作用。因此，我想确定 1) RSF 复合物如何靶向着丝粒，2) 哪些协同因素有助于 RSF 复合物稳定保留 CENP-A 染色质，3) RSF 复合物如何参与着丝粒组装。为了解决这些问题，我对稳定表达 FLAG-Rsf-I 的 DT40 细胞进行了抗 FLAG 染色质免疫沉淀，发现 RSF 相关 DNA 沿基因组分布，但有一个特定的尖峰与 CENP-A 相关 DNA 的峰重叠。此外，我发现 RSF 复合物主要与 FACT 复合物相互作用，FACT 复合物是我们也在着丝粒处发现的另一种染色质重塑复合物，并发现它与 CENP-A 相互作用。我证明敲除 FACTp80(SSRP1) 的细胞中 Rsf1 的量减少。
