TLDR
It is reported here that HP1 is phosphorylated by casein kinase II in vivo at three serine residues located at the N and C termini of the protein.

The HP1 protein family: getting a grip on chromatin.

TL;DR: A number of intriguing interactions between HP1 and other proteins have been described, implicating HP1 in gene regulation, DNA replication, and nuclear architecture.
Journal ArticleDOI

HP1-β mobilization promotes chromatin changes that initiate the DNA damage response

TL;DR: An unrecognized signalling cascade that helps to initiate the DNA damage response is revealed, altering chromatin by modifying a histone-code mediator protein, HP1, but not the code itself.
Journal ArticleDOI

The structure of mouse HP1 suggests a unique mode of single peptide recognition by the shadow chromo domain dimer

TL;DR: Results suggest that chromo domains may function as protein interaction motifs, bringing together different proteins in multi‐protein complexes and locating them in heterochromatin.
Journal ArticleDOI

Structural basis of HP1/PXVXL motif peptide interactions and HP1 localisation to heterochromatin.

TL;DR: It is shown that targeting of HP1β to heterochromatin requires shadow domain interactions with PXVXL‐containing proteins in addition to chromo domain recognition of Lys‐9‐methylated histone H3, and this finding implies a further complexity to the histone code for regulation of chromatin structure and suggests how binding ofHP1 family proteins may lead to its condensation.
Journal ArticleDOI

Molecular Determinants for Targeting Heterochromatin Protein 1-Mediated Gene Silencing: Direct Chromoshadow Domain–KAP-1 Corepressor Interaction Is Essential

TL;DR: It is shown that the chromoshadow domain (CSD) of HP1 is a potent repression domain that binds directly to all four previously described proteins and is a physiologically relevant target for HP1 function.

Functional inactivation of genes by dominant negative mutations

TL;DR: A new approach to this problem involves the manipulation of the cloned gene to create what are known as 'dominant negative' mutations, encode mutant polypeptides that when overexpressed disrupt the activity of the wild-type gene.
