Term Information

Accession: GO:0140718
Name: facultative heterochromatin formation
Ontology: biological_process
Synonyms: fHC assembly, facultative heterochromatin assembly
Alternate IDs: None
Definition: The compaction of chromatin into a conformation that is refactory to transcription but that be converted to euchromatin and allow transcription in specific contexts. These can be temporal (e.g., developmental states or specific cell-cycle stages), spatial (e.g., nuclear localization changes from the center to the periphery or vice versa due to exogenous factors/signals), or parental/heritable (e.g., monoallelic gene expression). Source: PMID:17936700
Comment: Note that facultative heterochromatin can be reprogrammed, as opposed to constitutive heterochromatin which usually cannot be reprogrammed to a transcriptionally-competent state.
