Abstract excerpt
Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) is a well-characterized heterochromatin component conserved from fission yeast to humans. We identified three HP1-like genes (hcpA, hcpB, and hcpC) in the Dictyostelium discoideum genome. Two of these (hcpA and hcpB) are expressed, and the proteins colocalized as green fluorescent protein (GFP) fusion proteins in one major cluster at the nuclear periphery that was also...
