Destabilizing Heterochromatin: Does Swi6/HP1 Make the Choice? [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2006
HP1 is well known as a key silencing protein. However, in the June 9 issue of Molecular Cell, report that Swi6/HP1 recruits an antisilencing protein, Epe1, to facilitate transcription, leading to a model in which Swi6/HP1 is used as a platform to recruit both silencing and antisilencing activities.

Contribution of promoter DNA sequence to heterochromatin formation velocity and memory of gene repression in mouse embryo fibroblasts.

open access: yesPLoS ONE, 2019
Durable gene silencing through the formation of compact heterochromatin domains plays a critical role during mammalian development in establishing defined tissues capable of retaining cellular identity.

Stemness factor Sall4 is required for DNA damage response in embryonic stem cells. [PDF]

open access: yes, 2015
Mouse embryonic stem cells (ESCs) are genetically more stable than somatic cells, thereby preventing the passage of genomic abnormalities to their derivatives including germ cells. The underlying mechanisms, however, remain largely unclear. In this paper,

Mechanistic Analysis of HP1 heterochromatin assembly

open access: yesThe FASEB Journal, 2013
The most conserved form of heterochromatin is characterized by methylation of lysine 9 on histone H3 (H3K9me3). Key to both the assembly and the spreading process is the heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1), which binds the H3K9me3 mark via its chromodomain (CD).

New Partners for HP1 in Transcriptional Gene Silencing [PDF]

open access: yesMolecular Cell, 2011
A new study in this issue of Molecular Cell (Yamane et al., 2010) demonstrates how chromatin assembly proteins HIRA/Asf1 help enforce transcriptional gene silencing in heterochromatin by bridging interactions between HP1 and histone deacetylase complexes.

Targeting of chromatin readers: a novel strategy used by the Shigella flexneri virulence effector OspF to reprogram transcription

open access: yesMicrobial Cell, 2014
Shigella flexneri, a gram-negative bacterium responsible of bacillary dysentery, uses multiple strategies to overcome host immune defense. We have decrypted how this bacterium manipulates host-cell chromatin binders to take control of immune gene ...

Intestinal permeability enhancement of benzopyran HP1-loaded nanoemulsions

open access: yesEuropean Journal of Pharmaceutical Sciences, 2019
The benzopyran HP1, a compound isolated from Hypericum polyanthemum, has demonstrated significant opioid-mediated antinociceptive activity after its oral administration. Despite the pharmacological potential, the poor aqueous solubility limits the oral absorption of this compound.

HP1 Promotes the Centromeric Localization of ATRX and Protects Cohesion by Interfering Wapl Activity in Mitosis

open access: yesFrontiers in Bioscience-Landmark
Background: α thalassemia/mental retardation syndrome X-linked (ATRX) serves as a part of the sucrose nonfermenting 2 (SNF2) chromatin-remodeling complex.

Dynamic and flexible H3K9me3 bridging via HP1β dimerization establishes a plastic state of condensed chromatin

open access: yesNature Communications, 2016
Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1), including HP1 α, β and γ, is a family of non-histone chromatin factors thought to be involved in chromatin organization.
