Practice question
Question
The mammalian protein HP1 plays a major role in heterochromati-nization and silencing. The following mutations are proposed to negatively impact HP1 function. A. Mutation inactivating the deacetylase that targets H3K14Ac B. Mutation inactivating HP1 bromo-domain C. Mutation inactivating HP1 chromo-domain D. Mutation inactivating the KMTlA methyltransferase whose target site is H3K9 Which one of the following combinations represents all correct statements?
Explanation
the mammalian protein hp1 plays a major operates via A, C and D represents established outcome. functional assays validates option A. Other options propose substrate or regulatory direction, inconsistent with published kinetics and mutant phenotypes.
