Western blot - Human CBX3 (HP1 gamma) knockout HeLa cell line (AB261744)

Lanes 1- 2 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab217999 observed at 25 kDa. Red - Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control (ab7291) observed at 50 kDa.

ab217999 was shown to react with HP1 gamma/CBX3 in wild-type HeLa cells in western blot. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab261744 (knockout cell lysate ab257110) was used. Wild-type HeLa and CBX3 knockout HeLa 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. ab217999 and Anti-alpha Tubulin antibody [DM1A] - Loading Control (ab7291) overnight at 4°C at a 1 in 2000 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.

Handling procedures

Initial handling guidelines

Upon arrival, the vial should be stored in liquid nitrogen vapor phase and not at -80°C. Storage at -80°C may result in loss of viability.

1. Thaw the vial in 37°C water bath for approximately 1-2 minutes.
2. Transfer the cell suspension (0.8 mL) to a 15 mL/50 mL conical sterile polypropylene centrifuge tube containing 8.4 mL pre-warmed culture medium, wash vial with an additional 0.8 mL culture medium (total volume 10 mL) to collect remaining cells, and centrifuge at 201 x g (rcf) for 5 minutes at room temperature. 10 mL represents minimum recommended dilution. 20 mL represents maximum recommended dilution.
3. Resuspend the cell pellet in 5 mL pre-warmed culture medium and count using a haemocytometer or alternative cell counting method seed all remaining cells into a T25.
4. Incubate the culture at 37°C incubator with 5% CO2. Check the culture one day after revival and continue to check until 80% confluent. Media change can be given if needed.
5. Once confluent passage into an appropriate flask at a density of 2x104 cells/cm2. Seeding density is given as a guide only and should be scaled to align with individual lab schedules. Cultures should be monitored daily.

Subculture guidelines
  • All seeding densities should be based on cell counts gained by established methods.
  • A guide seeding density of 2x104 cells/cm2 is recommended.
  • Cells should be passaged when they have achieved 80-90% confluence.
Culture medium

Supplementary information

The HP1 gamma protein also known as CBX3 is an essential component of the chromatin organization machinery. It has a molecular weight of approximately 22-25 kDa. HP1 gamma is expressed in a variety of tissues including brain liver and muscle indicating its broad functional involvement across different biological systems. It exhibits a high affinity for binding to histone H3 when it is methylated facilitating the formation of heterochromatin which is key to regulating gene expression and maintaining genome stability.
Biological function summary

HP1 gamma plays a significant role in gene silencing and chromatin structure maintenance. It forms part of a protein complex that includes chromatin remodeling enzymes and transcriptional repressors which help regulate access to genomic DNA. HP1 gamma's association with other chromatin-associated proteins helps modulate the transcriptional response to cellular stimuli ensuring appropriate gene expression patterns needed for normal cell function and development.

Pathways

HP1 gamma is involved in heterochromatin formation and maintenance pathways working alongside other proteins like SUV39H1 and HP1 alpha. Through these pathways HP1 gamma ensures the compact organization of repetitive DNA sequences and suppresses unnecessary transcription. It is also involved in the DNA damage response pathway playing a role in preserving genomic integrity by interacting with proteins such as BRCA1 and 53BP1 involved in DNA repair.

HP1 gamma's dysregulation has been associated with cancer and neurological disorders. Overexpression or mutations in this protein can lead to aberrant gene silencing contributing to oncogenesis where cancer-related genes become improperly regulated. Additionally alterations in HP1 gamma function are linked to neurodegenerative diseases potentially through its interaction with proteins like MECP2 whereby changes in the chromatin environment influence neuronal gene expression and function. Therefore understanding HP1 gamma's role provides insights into potential therapeutic targets for these conditions.
