chromodomain of histone methyltransferase SUV39H1, and similar proteins; CHRomatin Organization Modifier (chromo) domain of human SUV39H1, a histone lysine methyltransferase (HMT) which catalyzes di- and tri-methylation of lysine 9 of histone H3 (H3K9me2/3), leading to heterochromatin formation and gene silencing. H3K9me2/3 represents a specific mark for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting HP1 (CBX1, CBX3, and/or CBX5) proteins to methylated histones. SUV39H1 mainly functions in heterochromatin regions. The human SUV39H1/2, histone H3K9 methyltransferases, are the mammalian homologs of Drosophila Su(var)3-9 and Schizosaccharomyces pombe Clr4. SUV39H1 contains a chromodomain at its N-terminus and a SET domain at its C-terminus. Although the SET domain performs the catalytic activity, the chromodomain of SUV39H1 is essential for the catalytic activity of SUV39H1. A chromodomain is a conserved region of about 50 amino acids, found in a variety of chromosomal proteins, and which appears to play a role in the functional organization of the eukaryotic nucleus. The chromodomain is implicated in the binding, of the proteins in which it is found, to methylated histone tails and maybe RNA. A chromodomain may occur as a single instance, in a tandem arrangement, or followed by a related chromo shadow domain.

chromo shadow domain of chromatin-associated protein Swi6; Chromo shadow domain (CSD) of fission yeast Swi6 protein. Swi6 is a structural and functional homolog of mammalian HP1 (heterochromatin protein 1) and is involved in the chromatin structure by binding to centromere, telomere and silent mating-type locus. Swi6 contains a N-terminal chromo (CHRromatin Organization MOdifier) domain and a C-terminal chromo shadow domain (CSD). Swi6 binds histone H3 tails methylated at Lys- and the cohesion subunit Psc3, leading to silencing the genes and sister chromatid cohesion. It is also involved in the repression of the silent mating-type loci MAT2 and MAT3. Swi6 may compact MAT2/3 into a heterochromatin-like conformation which represses the transcription of these silent cassettes. The chromo shadow domain (CSD) is always found in association with a related N-terminal chromo (CHRromatin Organization MOdifier) domain. CSD domains have only been found in proteins that also possess a chromodomain, while chromodomains can exist in isolation.

The chromodomain is implicated in the binding, of the proteins in which it is found, to methylated histone tails and maybe RNA. A chromodomain may occur as a single instance, in a tandem arrangement, or followed by a related chromo shadow domain. Chromodomains belong to the chromo-like superfamily of SH3-fold-beta-barrel domains which includes chromo shadow domains and chromo barrel domains. Chromodomains differ from these in that they lack the first strand of the SH3-fold-beta-barrel. This first strand is altered by insertion in the chromo shadow domains, and chromo barrel domains are typical SH3-fold-beta-barrel domains with sequence similarity to the canonical chromo domain.

Some CBX proteins of the PRC1 complex have been implicated in transcriptional activation as well as in PRC1-independent roles in embryonic stem cells and in somatic cells. In addition to a chromodomain with H3K27me3-binding activity, Cbx4 contains two SUMO-interacting motifs responsible for its small ubiquitin-related modifier (SUMO) E3 ligase activity. CBX proteins may act as an oncogene or tumor suppressor in a cell-type-dependent manner, for example CBX8 promotes proliferation while suppressing metastasis, in colorectal carcinoma progression. CBX4 may serve as a tumor suppressor in colorectal carcinoma, and has been shown to be an oncogene in osteosarcoma and breast cancer.

chromodomain of the Chromodomain Y-like protein family; This group includes the chromodomain found in the mammalian chromodomain Y-like (CDY) protein family, and similar proteins. The human CDY family includes 6 proteins: the genes encoding four of these: two copies of CDY1 (CDY1a, CDY1a) and two copies of CDY2(CDY2a and CDY2b), are located on chromosome Y, and the genes encoding the other two members (CDYL and CDYL2) are located on autosomes. The chromosomal genes are only present in primates, whereas the CDYL and CDYL2 genes exist in most mammalian species. The CDY family proteins contain two functional domains: a chromodomain involved in chromatin binding and a catalytic domain found in many coenzyme A (CoA)- dependent acylation enzymes. CDYL is ubiquitously expressed, whereas CDYL2 shows selective expression in tissues of testis, prostate, spleen, and leukocyte. The CDYL genes are ubiquitously expressed, the CDY genes are only expressed in the testis. Deletion of the CDY1b gene has been shown to be a risk factor for male infertility. Impairments in CDY2 expression could be implicated in the pathogenesis of maturation arrest (a failure of germ cell development).

chromodomain of chromomethylase 3, and similar proteins; CHRomatin Organization Modifier (chromo) domain of DNA (cytosine-5)-methyltransferase chromomethylase 3 (CMT3, EC:2.1.1.37), and similar proteins. CMT3 is primarily a CHG (where H is either A, T or C) methyltransferase and is predominantly expressed in actively replicating cells. The protein is involved in preferentially methylating transposon-related sequences, reducing their mobility. Studies suggest that in order to target DNA methylation, CMT3 associates with H3K9me2-containing nucleosomes through binding of its BAH- and chromo-domains to H3K9me2. A chromodomain is a conserved region of about 50 amino acids, found in a variety of chromosomal proteins, and which appears to play a role in the functional organization of the eukaryotic nucleus. The chromodomain is implicated in the binding, of the proteins in which it is found, to methylated histone tails and maybe RNA.

chromodomain of chromodomain-containing protein 1, and similar proteins; CHRomatin Organization Modifier (chromo) domain of chromodomain-containing protein 1 (CHp1), and similar proteins. Chp1 is needed for RNA interference-dependent heterochromatin formation in fission yeast. Chp1 is a member of the RNA-induced transcriptional silencing (RITS) complex which maintains the heterochromatin regions. The chromodomain of the Chp1 component binds the histone H3 lysine 9 methylated tail (H3K9me) and the core of the nucleosome. A chromodomain is a conserved region of about 50 amino acids, found in a variety of chromosomal proteins, and which appears to play a role in the functional organization of the eukaryotic nucleus.

repeat 2 of paired tandem chromodomains; Repeat 2 of tandem CHRomatin Organization Modifier (chromo) domains, found in CHD (chromodomain helicase DNA-binding) proteins such as mammalian helicase DNA-binding proteins CHD1 to CHD9, and yeast protein CHD1. The CHD proteins belong to the SNF2 superfamily of ATP-dependent chromatin remodelers and contain two signature motifs: a pair of chromodomains located in the N-terminal region, and the SNF2-like ATPase domain located in the central region of the protein. CHD chromatin remodelers are important regulators of transcription and play critical roles during developmental processes. The N-terminal chromodomains of CHD1 have been shown to guard against sliding hexasomes. Mutations in the chromodomains of mouse CHD1 result in nuclear redistribution, suggesting that the chromodomain is essential for proper association with chromatin; also, deletion of the chromodomains in the Drosophila melanogaster CHD3-4 homolog impaired nucleosome binding, mobilization, and ATPase functions. A chromodomain is a conserved region of about 50 amino acids, found in a variety of chromosomal proteins, and which appears to play a role in the functional organization of the eukaryotic nucleus.

chromodomain of fission yeast Swi6, and similar proteins; Fission yeast Swi6 protein is a structural and functional homolog of mammalian HP1 (heterochromatin protein 1) and is involved in the chromatin structure by binding to centromeres, telomeres, and the silent mating-type locus. Swi6 contains a N-terminal chromo (CHRromatin Organization MOdifier) domain and a C-terminal chromo shadow domain (CSD). Swi6 binds histone H3 tails methylated at Lys- and the cohesion subunit Psc3, leading to silencing the genes and sister chromatid cohesion. It is also involved in the repression of the silent mating-type loci MAT2 and MAT3. Swi6 may compact MAT2/3 into a heterochromatin-like conformation which represses the transcription of these silent cassettes. chromodomains mediate the interaction of the heterochromatin with other heterochromatin proteins, thereby affecting chromatin structure (e.g. Drosophila and human heterochromatin protein (HP1) and mammalian modifier 1 and modifier 2). CSDs have only been found in proteins that also possess a chromodomain.
