Fig. 5. The double mutation V488A/L490A in the conserved HP1 box residues prevents
the RA-induced accumulation of TIF1ß in heterochromatin. FLAG-tagged
TIF1ß-expressing F9 EC-derived cell lines [F9(f:TIF1ßWT) and
F9(f:TIF1ßVL/AA] untreated (control) or treated with 1 µM RA for 4
days (RA) were analyzed by confocal immunofluorescence microscopy. The left
panels show the Hoechst DNA staining, and the right panels correspond to
immunodetection with specific monoclonal antibodies (Abs), as indicated. Note
that the mAb against TIF1ß also recognizes the FLAG-tagged proteins.
