UniProt functional annotation for P83917

UniProt codes: P83917, P23197.

Organism: Mus musculus (Mouse).
Taxonomy: Eukaryota; Metazoa; Chordata; Craniata; Vertebrata; Euteleostomi; Mammalia; Eutheria; Euarchontoglires; Glires; Rodentia; Myomorpha; Muroidea; Muridae; Murinae; Mus; Mus.
 
Function: Component of heterochromatin. Recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9', leading to epigenetic repression. Interaction with lamin B receptor (LBR) can contribute to the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:11242053, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11571267}.
 
Subunit: Homodimer (PubMed:10747027). Interacts directly with CHAF1A, EMSY, LBR, TIF1/TIF1A and TRIM28/TIF1B PXVXL motif via the chromoshadow domain (PubMed:8978696, PubMed:10562550, PubMed:10747027). Interacts directly with histone H3 methylated at 'Lys-9' via the chromo domain (PubMed:11571267). Interacts with SUV39H1, SETDB1, KMT5B and KMT5C (PubMed:10202156, PubMed:15145825). Interacts with PRDM6 (PubMed:16537907). Interacts with POGZ (By similarity). Interacts with CHAMP1 (By similarity). Interacts with INCENP (By similarity). Interacts with SGO1; the CBX1 homodimer binds to one molecule of SGO1 (By similarity). Interacts with LRIF1 (via PxVxL motif) (By similarity). {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:P83916, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10202156, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10562550, ECO:0000269|PubMed:10747027, ECO:0000269|PubMed:11571267, ECO:0000269|PubMed:15145825, ECO:0000269|PubMed:16537907, ECO:0000269|PubMed:8978696}.
Subcellular location: Nucleus {ECO:0000250}. Note=Unassociated with chromosomes during mitosis. {ECO:0000250}.
Tissue specificity: In all adult and embryonic tissues. {ECO:0000269|PubMed:1708124}.
Ptm: Not phosphorylated. {ECO:0000250}.
Ptm: Ubiquitinated.
