Abstract:
The chromo multigene superfamily encodes numerous proteins involved in chromatin structure or organization. The prototypical member of this superfamily is HP1 of Drosophila melanogaster. We now present the sequence of a human HP1Hs gamma pseudogene and assign it to chromosome 11p14 by radiation hybrid mapping. The coding regions of at least three other human genes for HP1 orthologues and another pseudogene are very similar in sequence. These results demonstrate that HP1-type sequences have been duplicated multiple times in the mammalian genome.
