The large isoform of Drosophila melanogaster heterochromatin protein 2 plays a critical role in gene silencing and chromosome structure.

abstract：:l(3)S12 is a vital locus whose function is required in embryos, early larvae, late pupae and oogenesis. We have identified a cold-sensitive allele, l(3)S12(3), and characterized conditional misexpression of the gene associated with this mutation as well as with several euchromatic insertions of l(3)S12+ transposons.
