Such helicases, in Drosophila, are part of a complex of proteins (including DEAH helicass and MYST acetyltransferases) and RNAs called the 'compensasome' that mediates dosage compensation.
The components of the compensasome are generally conserved in metazoa: they thus are likely to act as a functional unit in C. elegans and other metazoa, and not merely in Drosophila alone.
