Subcellular location [CC]Nucleus {ECO:0000269|PubMed:18445686}. Chromosome, centromere. Chromosome, telomere. Cytoplasm, cytoskeleton, microtubule organizing center, centrosome {ECO:0000250|UniProtKB:Q8BUI3}. Chromosome, centromere, kinetochore {ECO:0000269|PubMed:20813266}. Note=Localizes to heterochromatin during G1 phase. Restricted to centromeres or telomeres as cells progress though S phase. When cells enter mitosis, relocalizes to centromeres. Recruitment to pericentric heterochromatin largely depends on the presence of H3K9me3.
