Relevance 

RbAp48 (Retinoblastoma-binding protein p48 or Rb-associated protein p48)is a WD repeat protein that is a core histone binding subunit common to several complexes involved in chromatin assembly, chromatin remodeling, and histone deacetylation. These complexes include Chromatin Assembly Factor 1 (CAF1), which is required for chromatin assembly following DNA replication and repair, the core histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex, which promotes histone deacetylation and subsequent transcriptional repression, the nucleosome remodeling and histone deacetylation complex NuRD, the nucleosome remodeling factor (NURF) complex, and the PRC2 complex, which promotes repression of homeotic genes during development. RpAp48 also interacts with the retinoblastoma protein, and with SPEN/MINT and BRCA1. It is also a component of the DREAM complex, which represses cell cycle-dependent genes in quiescent cells.

A protein complex that is thought to mediate chromatin assembly in DNA replication and DNA repair. Assembles histone octamers onto replicating DNA in vitro. CAF-1 performs the first step of the nucleosome assembly process, bringing newly synthesized histones H3 and H4 to replicating DNA; Histones H2A/H2B can bind to this chromatin precursor subsequent to DNA replication to complete the histone octamer. P48 can bind to histone H4 in the absence of CAF-1 P150 and P160. Binds directly to helix 1 of histone H4, a region that is not accessible when H4 is in chromatin. SUBUNIT: CAF-1 is composed of three subunits, P48, P60 AND P150. Only minor amounts of P48 are complexed with P60 AND P150 in G1 phase. P48/RBBP4 is also part of the core histone deacetylase (HDAC) complex composed of HDAC1, HDAC2, RBBP4 and RBBP7. The core complex associates with MTA2, MBD3, MTA1L1, CHD3 and CHD4 to form the nucleosome remodelling and histone deacetylation (NuRD) complex, or with SIN3, SAP18 and SAP30 to form the SIN3 HDAC complex. Interacts with the viral protein-binding domain of the retinoblastoma protein (RB1). Interacts with SUV39H1 and HDAC7 (By similarity).

Immunoprecipitation - p48 CAF1 antibody (ab1765)

ab1765 used in Immunoprecipitation of HeLa whole cell lysate.

Whole cell extract (containing 100µg of soluble protein) was incubated with 20µg of antibody overnight. Protein A-Agarose was added to the immunocomplexes and incubated at room temperature for three hours. Immunocomplexes were eluted and then resolved using 7.5% SDS-PAGE under reducing conditions. For the detection of HDAC1, 2 and 3 a non-Abcam mouse monoclonal antibody was used at a dilution of 1/800. Results support the understanding that HDAC1 and 2 are in the same complex together with p48. Note that HDAC1 does not coprecipitate HDAC2, probably displaced by the antibody during the experiment.
