    What's a GeneRIF?
    1. The binding of the Df31-snoRNA complex to chromatin results in the opening and the maintenance of accessible higher order structures of chromatin.

    2. Data indicate that the interaction between Df31 and chromatin is RNA dependent.
      Title: Df31 protein and snoRNAs maintain accessible higher-order structures of chromatin.
    3. Df31 is intrinsically disordered along its entire length. Df31 is a monomeric protein, which function may benefit from having an extended and highly flexible structural state.
      Title: Intrinsic structural disorder of DF31, a Drosophila protein of chromatin decondensation and remodeling activities.
    4. Results show that the Drosophila Df31 protein interacts with histone H3 tails and promotes interstrand bridging between two independent oligonucleosome chains.
