Mutation in a heterochromatin-specific chromosomal protein is associated with suppression of position-effect variegation in Drosophila melanogaster.
We report here that a point mutation in the gene which encodes the heterochromatin-specific nonhistone chromosomal protein HP-1 in Drosophila melanogaster is associated with dominant suppression of… Expand

The COMPASS Family of H3K4 Methylases in Drosophila
ABSTRACT Methylation of histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) in Saccharomyces cerevisiae is implemented by Set1/COMPASS, which was originally purified based on the similarity of yeast Set1 to human MLL1 and… Expand

The HP1 protein family: getting a grip on chromatin.
HP1 was first described in Drosophila as a heterochromatin-associated protein with dosage-dependent effects on heterochromatin-induced gene silencing. Recently, membership of the HP1 protein family… Expand

The heterochromatin-associated protein HP-1 is an essential protein in Drosophila with dosage-dependent effects on position-effect variegation.
Chromosome rearrangements which place euchromatic genes adjacent to a heterochromatic breakpoint frequently result in gene repression (position-effect variegation). This repression is thought to… Expand

Specificity of the HP1 chromo domain for the methylated N‐terminus of histone H3
Recent studies show that heterochromatin‐associated protein‐1 (HP1) recognizes a ‘histone code’ involving methylated Lys9 (methyl‐K9) in histone H3. Using in situ immunofluorescence, we demonstrate… Expand

Functional analysis of the chromo domain of HP1.
Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) is a non‐histone chromosomal protein in Drosophila with dosage‐dependent effects on heterochromatin‐mediated gene silencing. An evolutionarily conserved amino acid… Expand

Distribution patterns of HP1, a heterochromatin-associated nonhistone chromosomal protein of Drosophila.
We have previously reported the identification of a nonhistone chromosomal protein (nhcp-19; now called HP1) preferentially associated with the heterochromatin of Drosophila melanogaster. A detailed… Expand

Histone H3 lysine 4 (H3K4) methylation in development and differentiation.
Covalent modification of histones on chromatin is a dynamic mechanism by which various nuclear processes are regulated. Methylation of histone H3 on lysine 4 (H3K4) implemented by the macromolecular… Expand

Mutations in yeast proliferating cell nuclear antigen define distinct sites for interaction with DNA polymerase delta and DNA polymerase epsilon.
The importance of the interdomain connector loop and of the carboxy-terminal domain of Saccharomyces cerevisiae proliferating cell nuclear antigen (PCNA) for functional interaction with DNA… Expand

Effects of sister chromatid cohesion proteins on cut gene expression during wing development in Drosophila
The cohesin protein complex is a conserved structural component of chromosomes. Cohesin binds numerous sites along interphase chromosomes and is essential for sister chromatid cohesion and DNA… Expand
