    basic FUNCTION
  • implicated in heterochromatin association with inner nuclear membrane
  • functioning in gene silencing, transcriptional regulation and chromatin remodeling
  • is released from chromatin during the M phase of the cell cycle, upon H3 serine 10 phosphorylation
  • housekeeping genes possessing a dominant ubiquitously-acting chromatin opening element (UCOE) capability
  • involved in transient repression of inducible promoters
  • recruited to heterochromatin in association with SUV420H2, and stably maintained at its heterochromatin sites in an CBX -independent fashion
  • having a non-redundant function during spermatogenesis that cannot be compensated for by the other two CBX1 and CBX5
  • novel role during the cellular response to oxidative stress
  • CBX3 disulfide dimerization plays a pivotal role in cell survival under oxidative conditions
  • potentially acts as a rapid redox sensor, and it may connect the intracellular redox state with transcriptional regulation under various physiological conditions
  • specific role for CBX1, CBX3, CBX5 in regulating SUV39H1 function under stress via a feedback mechanism that likely regulates heterochromatin formation
  • has an important role in carcinogenesis by regulating several mechanisms, such as heterochromatin formation, gene silencing, DNA replication and repair
