| Abstract | Heterochromatin Protein 1 (HP1) is a conserved component of the highly compact chromatin found at centromeres and telomeres. A conserved feature of the protein is multiple phosphorylation. Hyper-phosphorylation of HP1 accompanies the assembly of cytologically distinct heterochromatin during early embryogenesis. Hypo-phosphorylated HP1 is associated with the DNA-binding activities of the origin recognition complex (ORC) and an HMG-like HP1/ORC-Associated Protein (HOAP). Perturbations in HP1 localization in pericentric and telomeric heterochromatin in mutants for Drosophila ORC2 and HOAP, respectively, indicate roles for these HP1 phosphoisoforms in heterochromatin assembly also. To elucidate the roles of hypo- and hyper-phosphophorylated HP1 in heterochromatin assembly, we have mutated consensus Protein Kinase-A phosphorylation sites in the HP1 hinge domain and examined the mutant proteins for distinct in vitro and in vivo activities. Mutations designed to mimic hyper-phosphorylation render the protein incapable of binding HOAP and the DmORC1 subunit but confer enhanced homo-dimerization and lysine 9-methylated histone H3-binding to the protein. Mutations rendering the protein unphosphorylatable, by contrast, do not affect homo-dimerization or binding to lysine 9-di-methylated histone H3, HOAP, or DmORC1 but do confer novel DmORC2-binding activity to the protein. This mutant protein is ectopically localized throughout the chromosomes when overexpressed in vivo in the presence of a full dose of DmORC2. This ectopic targeting is accompanied by ectopic targeting of lysine 9 tri-methylated histone H3. The distinct activities of these mutant proteins could reflect distinct roles for HP1 phosphoisoforms in heterochromatin structure and function. |

National Digital Library of India (NDLI) is a virtual repository of learning resources which is not just a repository with search/browse facilities but provides a host of services for the learner community. It is sponsored and mentored by Ministry of Education, Government of India, through its National Mission on Education through Information and Communication Technology (NMEICT). Filtered and federated searching is employed to facilitate focused searching so that learners can find the right resource with least effort and in minimum time. NDLI provides user group-specific services such as Examination Preparatory for School and College students and job aspirants. Services for Researchers and general learners are also provided. NDLI is designed to hold content of any language and provides interface support for 10 most widely used Indian languages. It is built to provide support for all academic levels including researchers and life-long learners, all disciplines, all popular forms of access devices and differently-abled learners. It is designed to enable people to learn and prepare from best practices from all over the world and to facilitate researchers to perform inter-linked exploration from multiple sources. It is developed, operated and maintained from Indian Institute of Technology Kharagpur.

NDLI is a conglomeration of freely available or institutionally contributed or donated or publisher managed contents. Almost all these contents are hosted and accessed from respective sources. The responsibility for authenticity, relevance, completeness, accuracy, reliability and suitability of these contents rests with the respective organization and NDLI has no responsibility or liability for these. Every effort is made to keep the NDLI portal up and running smoothly unless there are some unavoidable technical issues.
