Suv39h1 links the SUMO pathway to constitutive heterochromatin. [PDF]
Mol Cell Oncol, 2016 The Suv39h lysine methyltransferases, known as key enzymes responsible for histone H3 lysine 9 methylation, are critical for heterochromatin protein 1 enrichment at constitutive heterochromatin. Our recent findings reveal a new role for the Suv39h1 paralog that links it to SUMO pathway function at constitutive heterochromatin.

The nuclear poly(A)-binding protein Pab2/PABPN1 promotes heterochromatin assembly through the formation of Pab2 nuclear condensates. [PDF]
PLoS GeneticsThe assembly of constitutive heterochromatin is a prerequisite for maintaining genome stability. However, the mechanism of heterochromatin formation has yet to be completely understood.

Chromosome study in Schistocerca (Orthoptera-Acrididae-Cyrtacanthacridinae): karyotypes and distribution patterns of constitutive heterochromatin and nucleolus organizer regions (NORs) [PDF]
Genetics and Molecular Biology, 2007 Chromosome analyses were performed in two grasshopper species of the genus Schistocerca, S. pallens and S. flavofasciata. Both species shared the same diploid number (2n = 23, X in males; 2n = 24, XX in females);and a conserved karyotype composed ...
