Abstract excerpt
HP1 proteins are essential components of heterochromatin and contribute to the transcriptional repression of euchromatic genes. Although most species contain more than one HP1 family member which differ in their chromosomal distribution, it is not known to what extent the activity of these different family members is redundant or specific in a developmental context. C. elegans has two HP1 homologues, HPL-1 and...
