How HP1 Post-Translational Modifications Regulate Heterochromatin Formation and Maintenance
Cells, 2020 Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) is a highly conserved protein that has been used as a classic marker for heterochromatin. HP1 binds to di- and tri-methylated histone H3K9 and regulates heterochromatin formation, functions and structure.

Tau Stabilizes Chromatin Compaction
Frontiers in Cell and Developmental Biology, 2021 An extensive body of literature suggested a possible role of the microtubule-associated protein Tau in chromatin functions and/or organization in neuronal, non-neuronal, and cancer cells. How Tau functions in these processes remains elusive.
