A Goat anti rabbit IgG (Alexa Fluor®488, ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution was used as the secondary antibody.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab242149).

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-CBX4 antibody [EPR23053-7] - ChIP Grade staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab242149 was shown to bind specifically to CBX4. A band was observed at 75 kDa in wild-type HEK-293 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in Cbx4 CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line ab261723 (CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell lysate ab261666). The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane below 75 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of CBX4. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image, wild-type and Cbx4 CRISPR-Cas9 edited HEK-293 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Supplementary information

CBX4 also known as Chromobox protein homolog 4 or Polycomb 2 acts mechanically as part of the Polycomb group (PcG) proteins. It weighs approximately 60 kDa and it is found in nuclear matrix where it participates in chromatin remodeling. CBX4 shows significant expression in tissues like liver brain and lung indicating its wide importance to cellular function. By binding to methylated histones especially H3K27me3 CBX4 influences gene silencing and epigenetic regulation important for maintaining cellular identity.
Biological function summary

CBX4 operates as a component of the Polycomb Repressive Complex 1 (PRC1) which plays role in controlling gene expression patterns during development. In this complex CBX4 interacts with other core components such as BMI1 and RING1 to facilitate monoubiquitination of histone H2A leading to transcriptional repression. This ability of CBX4 to modulate epigenetic states highlights its importance in critical developmental processes and differentiation.

Pathways

CBX4 significantly influences gene regulatory networks involved in cell cycle and apoptosis pathways. In the cell cycle regulation CBX4 interacts with important proteins such as Cyclin D1 impacting cell proliferation. In apoptosis CBX4 has roles linked to the p53 pathway by modulating transcriptional activity which influences cellular fate. These pathways underline the significance of CBX4 in maintaining balance between cell growth and death.

The deregulation of CBX4 expression has been associated with cancers like hepatocellular carcinoma and breast cancer. CBX4 potentially interacts with proteins such as p21 and p16 whose pathways play significant roles in cancer development. This underlines its role as a potential biomarker or therapeutic target in cancer treatment strategies. Understanding the function and regulation of CBX4 could offer insights in devising novel treatments for these malignancies.

Target data

E3 SUMO-protein ligase which facilitates SUMO1 conjugation by UBE2I (PubMed : 12679040). Involved in the sumoylation of HNRNPK, a p53/TP53 transcriptional coactivator, hence indirectly regulates p53/TP53 transcriptional activation resulting in p21/CDKN1A expression. Monosumoylates ZNF131 (PubMed : 22825850).. Component of a Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1-like complex, a complex class required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development (PubMed : 12167701, PubMed : 19636380, PubMed : 21282530). PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-119', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility (PubMed : 12167701, PubMed : 19636380, PubMed : 21282530). Binds to histone H3 trimethylated at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me3) (By similarity). Plays a role in the lineage differentiation of the germ layers in embryonic development (By similarity).
