A mammalian homologue of Drosophila heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) is a component of constitutive heterochromatin
Abstract
The Drosophila HP1 gene contains a highly conserved sequence, the chromobox, which can be used to isolate HP1-like genes from both mouse (M31 and M32) and man (HSM1) (Singh et al., 1991). Here we report that a monoclonal antibody (MoAb) raised against the M31 protein recognises a 26-kDa protein in murine and human nuclear extracts and localises to large masses of condensed chromatin within murine interphase nuclei, some of which are associated with the nucleoli. At metaphase, the MoAb binds to the centromeres of both human and murine chromosomes. The evolutionary conservation of this chromosomal localisation indicates that the M31 protein is likely to be important in the packaging of mammalian chromosomal DNA into constitutive heterochromatin.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
