As inferred from mouse, CBX3 (Heterochromatic Protein 1gamma, HP1gamma) binds histone H3 dimethylated at lysine-9 (H3K9me2). In other regions of the genome, CBX3 can be associated with repression of transcription, however dimethylated H3 lysine-9 and CBX3 in the transcribed region of the rRNA gene are associated with enhanced expression. CBX3 bound to gene bodies can facilitate cotranscriptional processing of RNA (Smallwood et al. 2012).
