Target
-
Function
Component of heterochromatin. Recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9', leading to epigenetic repression. Interaction with lamin B receptor (LBR) can contribute to the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. -
Tissue specificity
Expressed in all adult and embryonic tissues. -
Sequence similarities
Contains 2 chromo domains. -
Post-translational
modificationsNot phosphorylated.
Ubiquitinated. -
Cellular localization
Nucleus. Unassociated with chromosomes during mitosis. - Information by UniProt

ab10478 was shown to react with CBX1 / HP1 beta in wild-type HEK-293T cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab266356 (knockout cell lysate ab257383) was used. Wild-type HEK-293T and CBX1 knockout HEK-293T cell lysates were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Membrane was blocked for 1 hour at room temperature in 0.1% TBST with 3% non-fat dried milk. ab10478 and Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control (ab7291) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 1000 dilution and a 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye®800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye®680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

ab10478 was shown to recognize CBX1 when CBX1 knockout samples were used, along with additional cross-reactive bands. Wild-type and CBX1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab10478 and ab8245 (Mouse anti GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1000 dilution and 1/10000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-CBX1 / HP1 beta antibody (ab10478)CBX1 / HP1 beta was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg Hela whole cell extract, 5µg of Rabbit polyclonal to CBX1 / HP1 beta and 50µl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).
The antibody was incubated under agitation with Protein G beads for 10min, Hela whole cell extract lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10min under agitation.
Proteins were eluted by addition of 40µl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70oC; 10µl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab10478.
