Structured_descriptionConcise_descriptionhpl-2 encodes one of two C. elegans heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1) homologs; hpl-2 activity is required for silencing of transgenes in the germline, germline development, and vulval cell fate specification; in addition, hpl-2 negatively regulates RNA-mediated interference (RNAi); hpl-2 also functions redundantly with hpl-1 in larval, somatic gonad and germline development, and redundantly with hpl-1, lin-13, lin-15A, lin-9, and lin-35 in vulval development; HPL-2 reporter fusion proteins are expressed in nuclei throughout the life cycle with expression also seen in the germline and developing oocytes; in nuclei, HPL-2 fusion proteins are associated with condensed chromatin; HPL-2::RFP foci do not significantly overlap with those of HPL-1.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00005176

Automated_descriptionEnables H3K27me3 modified histone binding activity and chromatin binding activity. Involved in several processes, including developmental process involved in reproduction; nematode larval development; and regulation of gene expression. Located in nuclear periphery. Expressed in several structures, including AWCL; AWCR; hyp7 syncytium; and vulval precursor cell.Paper_evidenceWBPaper00065943

RemarkSequence connection from [Couteau F, Muller F, Palladino, F], 02/06/13 krb.
Map position created from combination of previous interpolated map position (based on known location of sequence) and allele information. Therefore this is not a genetic map position based on recombination frequencies or genetic experiments. This was done on advice of the CGC.CGC_data_submission
