Enables histone reader activity. Involved in heterochromatin formation. Located in nucleus. Part of RSF complex. Colocalizes with euchromatin. Is expressed in organism and spermatozoon. Orthologous to human RSF1 (remodeling and spacing factor 1).
FB Description
CG8677 encodes a protein that dimerizes with the product of Iswi to form a chromatin remodeling factor RSF (remodeling and spacing factor). RSF is involved in silent chromatin formation via replacement of the product of His2Av.
