Encompassing Amino Acids: 2-185(end)
Applications: Useful for protein binding assays, screening inhibitors, and selectivity profiling.
Background: Component of heterochromatin. The protein has a single N-terminal chromodomain which can bind to histone proteins via methylated lysine residues, and a C-terminal chromo shadow-domain (CSD) which is responsible for the homodimerization and interaction with a number of chromatin-associated nonhistone proteins. The protein may play an important role in the epigenetic control of chromatin structure and gene expression. Recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at Lys9, leading to epigenetic repression. Interaction with lamin B receptor (LBR) can contribute to the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane.
