Heterochromatin proteins and the control of heterochromatic gene silencing in Arabidopsis

The SU(VAR)3–9 protein family was first identified in animals as heterochromatin-associated proteins and found to control establishment of heterochromatic chromatin domains by histone H3 lysine 9 methylation. In Arabidopsis ten SU( VAR) 3– 9 homologous SUVH genes are found where SUVH1, SUVH2 and SUV...
