HeLa cells were labelled with anti-ACA and anti-CENPF (ab5). ab5 was used at a working dilution of 1/400. This image demonstrates the dramatic increase in fluorescence that occurs late in G2 cells (indicated by arrows). In the final panel DAPI is pseudo-coloured blue, while ACA and CENPF are coloured green and red respectively. 40x magnification.

Interpahse and Prophase HeLa cells were labelled with anti-ACA and anti-CENPF (ab5). ab5 was used at a working dilution of 1/400. This image emphasizes the redistribution of CENPF from the nuclear matrix during late G2 following entry into the initial stages of mitosis (see the accompanying image). Distinct punctate CENPF patterns proximally located in relation to the centromeres can be seen. In the final panel DAPI is pseudo-coloured blue, while ACA and CENPF are green and red respectively. 100x magnification.

ab5 staining Human normal colon tissue. Staining is localised to nuclear compartment.
Left panel : with primary antibody at 4 ug/ml. Right panel : isotype control.
Sections were stained using an automated system DAKO Autostainer Plus , at room temperature : sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffer EDTA pH 9.0 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako envision flex amplification kit for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.

Target Information
CENPF (Centromere Protein F) is a key protein that participates in cell cycle regulation and chromosome movement during mitosis. It is essential for proper cell division and genomic stability. Abnormal expression of CENPF is associated with several diseases, particularly cancer, where it promotes tumor growth and metastasis. High CENPF levels are observed in cancers like colorectal cancer and are linked to worse clinical outcomes. CENPF is also involved in cardiac development and diseases such as dilated cardiomyopathy.

Supplementary information

CENPF also known as centromere protein F or mitosin is a significant kinetochore-associated protein. It has a molecular mass of approximately 367 kDa. Expressed chiefly in the nucleus CENPF displays elevated levels during cell division particularly mitosis. The protein accumulates at the nuclear matrix during the G2 phase of the cell cycle and moves to the kinetochores in mitosis highlighting its role in cell cycle regulation.
Biological function summary

It plays a role in chromosome segregation and spindle attachment during cell division. CENPF associates with various cellular complexes including the nuclear matrix and kinetochores. Its function is critical to maintaining stability and proper chromosome movement during mitosis. This involvement ensures accurate chromosomal alignment and segregation preventing genomic instability in daughter cells.

Pathways

CENPF plays an essential role in the regulation of the mitotic cell cycle and chromosomal dynamics. The protein interfaces with several elements in pathways like the spindle assembly checkpoint. It interacts notably with proteins such as CENP-E and other kinetochore constituents. These interactions safeguard the precise attachment of microtubules to the kinetochores facilitating proper cell cycle progression and division.

Alterations in CENPF expression and function have been linked to cancer and congenital heart defects. Dysregulation of CENPF can lead to chromosomal instability a known hallmark of many cancers. Additionally its interactions with proteins like CENP-E and Bub1 further relate to its involvement in the proper execution of cell cycle checkpoints. Such associations make CENPF a potential target for therapeutic interventions in related disorders.

Target data

Required for kinetochore function and chromosome segregation in mitosis. Required for kinetochore localization of dynein, LIS1, NDE1 and NDEL1. Regulates recycling of the plasma membrane by acting as a link between recycling vesicles and the microtubule network though its association with STX4 and SNAP25. Acts as a potential inhibitor of pocket protein-mediated cellular processes during development by regulating the activity of RB proteins during cell division and proliferation. May play a regulatory or permissive role in the normal embryonic cardiomyocyte cell cycle and in promoting continued mitosis in transformed, abnormally dividing neonatal cardiomyocytes. Interaction with RB directs embryonic stem cells toward a cardiac lineage. Involved in the regulation of DNA synthesis and hence cell cycle progression, via its C-terminus. Has a potential role regulating skeletal myogenesis and in cell differentiation in embryogenesis. Involved in dendritic cell regulation of T-cell immunity against chlamydia.
