However, the role of this RNA in maintaining the structure of the already assembled complex remains unclear. In this work, we have shown that the full-assembled dosage compensation complex dissociates rather weakly when treated with RNases: the MLE helicase is effectively released from the complex, and the remaining protein components (MSL1, MSL2, and MSL3) undergo partial disassembly and continue to be part of subcomplexes.
