The Arabidopsis chromodomain-containing LHP1 colocalizes with histone H3 lysine27 trimethylation
Ontology highlight
ABSTRACT: The POLYCOMB proteins are required for maintenance of silent chromatin states mediated by H3K27 trimethylation in animals, but POLYCOMB homologues are not found in plant genomes. Using DamID-chip, we found that the Arabidopsis chromodomain-containing protein LHP1 localizes to chromatin associated with H3K27me3 genome-wide. Furthermore, the LHP1 chromodomain binds H3K27me3 with high affinity. These results suggest that LHP1 shares similar functions with POLYCOMB. Keywords: DamID-Chip
