Figure 6. Quantitative Western blots to estimate the amounts of HP1 and HP2 in adult fly nuclear preparations.
(A) The vigEP812 strain shows a decrease in HP1 similar to the Su(var)3-906 mutant. In vig2PL470 flies the level of HP1 appears to be similar to WT. H4 was used as a loading control. (B) The HP2 Large isoform follows the HP1 pattern. Actin served as a loading control. Error bars represent standard error of the mean.
