A JmjC domain-containing protein, S. pombe Epe1, has been identified as an anti-silencing factor at heterochromatin-euchromatin boundaries [11–14]. The Cul4-Ddb1Cdt2 ubiquitin ligase complex moderately degrades Epe1 located inside the boundaries [15, 16
Epe1 physically interacts with the HP1 homologs Swi6 and Chp2 and localizes to heterochromatin in a largely Swi6-dependent manner [12, 15, 19, 20]
