Abstract excerpt
Heterochromatin protein 2 (HP2) is a nonhistone chromosomal protein from Drosophila melanogaster that binds to heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) and has been implicated in heterochromatin-induced gene silencing. Heretofore, HP1 has been the only known binding partner of HP2, a large protein devoid of sequence motifs other than a pair of AT hooks. In an effort to identify proteins that interact with HP2 and assign...
