Abstract excerpt
Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) is a conserved component of the highly compact chromatin found at centromeres and telomeres. A conserved feature of the protein is multiple phosphorylation. Hyper-phosphorylation of HP1 accompanies the assembly of cytologically distinct heterochromatin during early embryogenesis. Hypo-phosphorylated HP1 is associated with the DNA-binding activities of the origin recognition complex...
