Modulation of Heterochromatin Protein 1 Dynamics in Primary Mammalian Cells

Abstract: Heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1beta), a key component of condensed DNA, is strongly implicated in gene silencing and centromeric cohesion. Heterochromatin has been considered a static structure, stabilizing crucial aspects of nuclear organization and prohibiting access to transcription factors. We demonstrate here, by fluorescence recovery after photobleaching, that a green fluorescent protein-HP1beta fusion protein is highly mobile within both the euchromatin and heterochromatin of ex vivo resting murine T cel… Show more

“…HP1-α is a key component of condensed DNA and is involved in gene silencing by interaction with methylated histone H3. Mobility of HP1-α has been reported in various cells 18,26 . The stochastic competition between such factors as LAMR1-TP1 and HP1-α may determine the fate of the heterochromatin plasticity that is involved in regulating the fate of cells.…”

“…HP1 is a key heterochromatin protein that regulates gene silencing by interacting with methylated histones 17 . HP1-α also localizes with DAPI-positive heterochromatin 18 . Cardiomyocytes expressing HP1-α showed the same staining pattern in the DAPI-dense region (Fig.…”

“…For instance, recent data suggest important functions outside heterochromatin and point to Suv39-independent functions of HP1 members and vice versa (Greil et al 2003). Further more, photobleaching experiments using fluorochrome-tagged HP1 demonstrated that the majority of the HP1 proteins are highly mobile with rapid movements in and out of heterochromatin domains (Festenstein et al 2003;Schmiedeberg et al 2004).…”

“…Cette propriété des protéines HP1 pourrait aussi servir à renforcer la cohésion pericentromérique pour résister aux forces de tension du fuseau mitotique et empêcher la dissociation pré-maturée des chromatides soeurs durant la mitose [3]. Contre toute attente, deux études récentes révèlent que les protéines HP1 sont en fait associées de façon très dynamique avec l'hétérochromatine péricentrique [4,5] Figure 1. Association des protéines HP1 avec les histones de l'hétérochromatine péri-centrique.…”

“…Ces études montrent que les protéines HP1, bien qu'elles soient moins mobiles que la GFP libre, s'associent à l'hétérochromatine de façon nettement plus dynamique que les histones H3 ou H4. Par exemple, alors que le temps de retour de fluorescence pour la majorité des molécules GFP-HP1 (entre 70 et 100 %) est d'environ 1-3 minutes [4,5], une fraction importante de la fluorescence des molécules d'histone H3 ou H4-GFP (70%) est perdue de façon irréversible après photoblanchiment (temps de retour > 8heures) [6]. Il est donc clair que l'hétérochromatine doit désormais être considérée comme une structure dont l'une des composantes majeures, HP1, est en équilibre dynamique avec le nucléoplasme.…”
