International audience. SUMOylation promotes targeting of HP1α to pericentric heterochromatin. Here we identify the SUMO-specific protease SENP7 in mouse as a maintenance factor for HP1α accumulation at this location. SENP7 interacts directly with HP1α, localizes at HP1-enriched pericentric domains and can deconjugate SUMOylated HP1α in vivo. Depletion of SENP7 delocalizes HP1α from pericentric heterochromatin without affecting H3K9me3 levels. We propose that following targeting of HP1α, a subsequent deSUMOylation event enables HP1α retention at these domains.
