Abstract excerpt
HP1 is a small nonhistone chromosomal protein of Drosophila melanogaster predominantly localized to the pericentric heterochromatin. We have shown previously that mutations in the HP1 coding sequences are associated with dominant suppression of heterochromatic position-effect variegation, and with recessive lethality. When fused to an Hsp70 heat shock gene promoter, the cDNA encoding HP1 supports the heat...
