Abstract excerpt
Heterochromatin-associated protein 1 (HP1) is a nonhistone chromosomal protein with a dose-dependent effect on heterochromatin mediated position-effect silencing. It is multiply phosphorylated in vivo. Hyperphosphorylation of HP1 is correlated with heterochromatin assembly. We report here that HP1 is phosphorylated by casein kinase II in vivo at three serine residues located at the N and C termini of the protein....
