Due to the spectacular number of studies focusing on epigenetics in the last few decades,
and particularly for the last few years, the availability of a chronology of epigenetics appears …

Organization and Evolution of Hox/HOM-C Complexes The genomic structural and
organizational similarities between vertebrate Hox and Drosophila HOM-C complexes …

Abstract Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) is localized at heterochromatin sites where it
mediates gene silencing,. The chromo domain of HP1 is necessary for both targeting and …

Distinct modifications of histone amino termini, such as acetylation, phosphorylation and
methylation, have been proposed to underlie a chromatin-based regulatory mechanism, that …

The AT-hook is a small DNA-binding protein motif which was first described in the high
mobility group non-histone chromosomal protein HMG-I (Y). Since its discovery, this motif …

Modifier mutations of position‐effect variegation (PEV) represent a useful tool for a genetic
and molecular dissection of genes connected with chromatin regulation in Drosophila. The …

The Polycomb group (PcG) genes are required to maintain homeotic genes in a silenced
state during development in drosophila and mammals and are thought to form several …

Polycomb group (PcG) proteins are required for the epigenetic maintenance of
developmental genes in a silent state. Proteins in the Polycomb-repressive complex 1 …

Krüppel-associated box (KRAB) domains are present in approximately one-third of all
human zinc finger proteins (ZFPs) and are potent transcriptional repression modules. We …

Members of the heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) family are silencing nonhistone proteins.
Here, we show that in P19 embryonal carcinoma (EC) nuclei, HP1 α, β, and γ form homo …
