chromodomain of chromobox homolog 7; CHRomatin Organization Modifier (chromo) domain of chromobox homolog 7 (CBX7), a component 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. 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. CBX7 has been shown to function as a tumor suppressor in lung carcinoma and an oncogene in gastric cancer and lymphoma.

HP1 has diverse functions in heterochromatin formation and impacts both gene expression and gene silencing. 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 (also known as Cbx5), HP1beta (also known as Cbx1), and HP1gamma (also known as Cbx3).

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.

repeat 2 of the paired tandem chromodomains of chromodomain helicase DNA-binding protein 3 and 4, and similar proteins; Repeat 2 of tandem CHRomatin Organization Modifier (chromo) domains, found in CHD (chromodomain helicase DNA-binding) proteins such as mammalian helicase DNA-binding proteins CHD3 and CHD4, 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. 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.

chromodomain of Caenorhabditis elegans chromodomain protein 4, and similar proteins; CHRomatin Organization Modifier (chromo) domain of Caenorhabditis elegans CEC-4, and similar proteins. CEC-4 is a perinuclear heterochromatin anchor, it mediates the anchoring of H3K9 methylation-bearing chromatin at the nuclear periphery in early to mid-stage embryos. It is necessary for anchoring, but does not affect transcriptional repression. CEC-4 contributes to the efficiency with which muscle differentiation is induced following ectopic expression of the master regulator, HLH-1 (MyoD in mammals). 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.

chromodomain 2 of chloroplast signal recognition particle 43 kDa protein, and similar proteins; This subgroup includes the chromodomain 2 of chloroplast SRP43 (cpSRP43), and similar proteins. CpSRP43 is a component of the chloroplast signal recognition particle (SRP) pathway. It forms a stable complex with cpSRP54 (cpSRP complex) which is required for the efficient posttranslational transport of members of the nuclearly encoded light harvesting chlorophyll-a/b-binding proteins (LHCPs) to the thylakoid membrane. Chromatin organization modifier (chromo) domain is a conserved region of around 50 amino acids found in a variety of chromosomal proteins, which appear to play a role in the functional organization of the eukaryotic nucleus. Experimental evidence implicates the chromodomain in the binding activity of these proteins to methylated histone tails and maybe RNA. May occur as single instance, in a tandem arrangement or followed by a related chromo shadow domain.
