Immunofluorescence microscopy using ab105742 shows detection of endogenous CENPQ in HeLa whole cell lysate. Primary antibody was used at 1 : 100 followed by secondary antibody diluted 1 : 150. Red punctate anti-CENPQ signal colocalizes in overlay images with green punctate anti-CREST signals at the kinetochores (attached points of sister chromatids). Visible are colocalized CENPQ and CREST signal at various stages of the cell cycle as indicated from interphase to the end of mitosis. Nuclei are counter stained with bisbenzimide.

Specificity

This antibody is specific for human CENP-Q protein.  A BLAST analysis of the full length sequence was used to suggest partial cross-reactivity with CENP-Q based on the following percentage homologies: macaque (91%), horse (76%), bovine (74%), dog (73%), swine (71%), mouse (65%) and rat (60%). Cross-reactivity with CENP-Q from other sources has not been determined.

CENPQ also known as Centromere Protein Q is a component of the inner kinetochore plate. This protein has an approximate molecular mass of 25 kDa. CENPQ is expressed in various tissues. It localizes at the centromere during cell division. The presence of CENPQ ensures the proper attachment of microtubules to the kinetochore from spindle fibers critical for chromosome alignment and segregation.
Biological function summary

Centromere Protein Q plays a role in the maintenance of centromere structure and function. It forms part of the CENP-H/I/K complex which is involved in assembling the kinetochore. This complex stabilizes the kinetochore-microtubule interactions facilitating the accurate transmission of chromosomes during mitosis. The precise coordination of these activities helps prevent chromosomal instability which could lead to genetic disorders.

Pathways

CENPQ participates in the mitotic spindle checkpoint pathway. This pathway ensures that cells do not progress to anaphase until all chromosomes are properly aligned at the metaphase plate preventing aneuploidy. In addition to this CENPQ interacts with other proteins such as CENP-C and CENP-E. These interactions are essential to kinetochore function and the overall fidelity of cell division.

CENPQ plays a role in cancer and chromosomal instability syndromes. Malfunction or mutations in CENPQ can compromise its ability to maintain proper chromosome segregation which is associated with various forms of cancer. CENPQ's interactions with other centromere proteins like CENP-E are critical for maintaining genomic stability their disruption can lead to tumorigenesis or progression of chromosomal aberrations.

Target data

Component of the CENPA-CAD (nucleosome distal) complex, a complex recruited to centromeres which is involved in assembly of kinetochore proteins, mitotic progression and chromosome segregation. May be involved in incorporation of newly synthesized CENPA into centromeres via its interaction with the CENPA-NAC complex (PubMed : 16622420). Plays an important role in chromosome congression and in the recruitment of CENP-O complex (which comprises CENPO, CENPP, CENPQ and CENPU), CENPE and PLK1 to the kinetochores (PubMed : 25395579).
