During mitosis it is believed that constitutive heterochromatin is necessary for proper segregation of sister chromatids and centromere function. [6] The repeat sequences found at the pericentromeres are not conserved throughout many species and depend more on epigenetic modifications for regulation, while telomeres show more conserved sequences.
Constitutive heterochromatin can affect the genes near itself (e.g. position-effect variegation). It is usually repetitive and forms structural functions such as centromeres or telomeres, in addition to acting as an attractor for other gene-expression or repression signals.
Function [ edit ] CENPA is a protein which epigenetically defines the position of the centromere on each chromosome, [ 7 ] determining the position of kinetochore assembly and the final site of sister chromatid cohesion during mitosis .
Heterochromatin binds a lot of the dye, while the rest of the chromosomes absorb only little of it. The C-bonding proved to be especially well-suited for the characterization of plant chromosomes. Q-banding is a fluorescent pattern obtained using quinacrine for staining.
The family of heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) ("Chromobox Homolog", CBX) consists of highly conserved proteins, which have important functions in the cell nucleus.These functions include gene repression by heterochromatin formation, transcriptional activation, regulation of binding of cohesion complexes to centromeres, sequestration of genes to the nuclear periphery, transcriptional arrest ...
