Main research interests

Tissue-specific gene clusters are the universal type of gene organization in Drosophila (Boutanaev et al. 2002; Shevelyov et al. 2009).
Transcription of tissue-specific gene clusters are coordinately regulated at chromatin level (Kalmykova et al. 2005).
Silent tissue-specific gene clusters are additionally repressed by the contacts with nuclear lamina (Shevelyov et al. 2009).
Disruption of nuclear lamina results in the removal of loci from nuclear envelope (Shevelyov et al. 2009; Shevelyov and Nurminsky 2012).
Histone deacetylase HDAC3, but not the HDAC1 determines the positioning of tissue-specific gene clusters at nuclear lamina (Milon et al. 2012);
Chromatin is partitioned into active and inactive topologically associating domains (TADs) in Drosophila nucleus due to ability of “inactive” nucleosomes to interact with each other (Ulianov et al. 2016; Gavrilov et al. 2016);
In Drosophila ovarian somatic cells, the key effector protein of piRNA silencing system Piwi interacts with chromatin at nuclear pores and promiscuously binds numerous nuclear transcripts from genes and transposable elements (Ilyin et al. 2017).
