chromodomain of polycomb and chromobox family proteins; CHRomatin Organization Modifier (chromo) domain of Polycomb and Polycomb-group (PcG) chromobox (CBX) family proteins such as CBX2, CBX4, CBX6, CBX7, and CBX8. These CBX proteins are components of the PcG repressive complex PRC1, one of the two classes of PRCs. PcG proteins form large multiprotein complexes (PcG bodies) which are involved in the stable repression of genes involved in development, signaling or cancer via chromatin-based epigenetic modifications. Mammalian PRC1 includes canonical (cPRC1) and non-canonical complexes; cPRC1, contains four core subunits including one CBX protein (CBX2, CBX4, and CBX6-CBX8) that binds H3K27me3. CBX family members have different affinity for H3K27me3, with CBX7 having the highest binding capability. The human CBX proteins show distinct nuclear localizations and contribute differently to transcriptional repression. 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.

The human CBX proteins show distinct nuclear localizations and contribute differently to transcriptional repression. 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.

CHROMO (CHRromatin Organization Modifier) domains and chromo shadow domains; Members of this group are chromodomains or chromo shadow domains; these are SH3-fold-beta-barrel domains of the chromo-like superfamily. Chromodomains lack the first strand of the SH3-fold-beta-barrel, this first strand is altered by insertion in the chromo shadow domains. The 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-containing proteins include: i) those having an N-terminal chromodomain followed by a related chromo shadow domain, such as Drosophila and human heterochromatin protein Su(var)205 (HP1), and mammalian modifier 1 and 2; ii) those having a single chromodomain, such as Drosophila protein Polycomb (Pc), mammalian modifier 3, human Mi-2 autoantigen, and several yeast and Caenorhabditis elegans proteins of unknown function; iii) those having paired tandem chromodomains, such as mammalian DNA-binding/helicase proteins CHD-1 to CHD-4 and yeast protein CHD1; (iv) and elongation factor eEF3, a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family of proteins, that serves an essential function in the translation cycle of fungi. eEF3 is a soluble factor lacking a transmembrane domain and having two ABC domains arranged in tandem, with a unique chromodomain inserted within the ABC2 domain.

chromodomain of heterochromatin protein 1 homolog alpha; CHRomatin Organization Modifier (chromo) domain of heterochromatin protein 1 homolog alpha (also known as HP1alpha, Cbx5, and Chromobox 5), and related proteins. HP1alpha has diverse functions in heterochromatin formation, gene regulation, and mitotic progression, and forms complex networks of gene, RNA, and protein interactions. HP1 has two conserved protein-protein interaction domains, a single N-terminal chromodomain (CD) which can bind to histone proteins via methylated lysine residues, and a related C-terminal chromo shadow domain (CSD) which is responsible for the homodimerization and interaction with a number of chromatin-associated non-histone proteins; a flexible hinge region separates the CD and CSD and may bind nucleic acid. HP1 is a highly conserved non-histone chromosomal protein that is evolutionarily conserved from fission yeast to plants and animals. There are three human homologs of HP1 proteins: HP1alpha, HP1beta (also known as Cbx1), and HP1gamma (also known as Cbx3).

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).

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.

chromodomain-like insertion in an ATPase domain of elongation factor eEF3; Eukaryotic elongation factor eEF3 (also known as EF-3, YEF3, and TEF3), a member of the ATP-binding cassette (ABC) family of proteins, is a ribosomal binding ATPase essential for fungal translation machinery. Until recently it was considered fungal-specific and therefore an attractive target for antifungal therapy; however, recent bioinformatics analysis indicates it may be more widely distributed among other unicellular eukaryotes, and translation elongation factor 3 activity has been demonstrated from a non-fungal species, Phytophthora infestans. eEF3 is a soluble factor lacking a transmembrane domain and having two ABC domains arranged in tandem, with a unique chromodomain inserted within the ABC2 domain. Chromodomain mutations in the ABC2 domain of eEF3 have been shown to reduce ATPase activity, but not ribosome binding. Thus, the chromodomain-like insertion is critical to eEF3 function. In addition to its elongation function, eEF3 has been shown to interact with mRNA in a translation independent manner, suggesting an additional, non-elongation function for this factor.

N-terminal chromodomain of the fission yeast histone methyltransferase Clr4, and similar proteins; N-terminal CHRomatin Organization Modifier (chromo) domain of cryptic loci regulator 4 (Clr4), a histone H3 lysine methyltransferase which targets H3K9. Clr4 regulates silencing and switching at the mating-type loci and affects chromatin structure at centromeres. Clr4 is a catalytic component of the rik1-associated E3 ubiquitin ligase complex that shows ubiquitin ligase activity and is required for histone H3K9 methylation. H3K9me represents a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression by recruiting swi6/HP1 to methylated histones which leads to transcriptional silencing within centromeric heterochromatin, telomeric regions and at the silent mating-type loci. 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.

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.

Human CHD3 (also named Mi-2 alpha) and CHD4 (also named Mi-2 beta) are coexpressed in many cell lines and tissues and may act as the motor subunit of the NuRD complex (nucleosome remodeling and deacetylase activities). The proteins form distinct CHD3- and CHD4-NuRD complexes that repress, as well as activate gene transcription of overlapping and specific target genes.
