BackgroundHP1beta is an isoform of the heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) which plays a role in chromatin remodeling and transcriptional silencing. The HP1 chromo domain selectively recognizes methylated H3-K9, where this methylation is carried out by histone methyltransferase SUV39H1. SUV39H1-HP1 methylation is important for the correct localization of HP1 at heterochromatin and for transcriptional silencing.
