Function

Chromatin binding factor that binds to DNA sequence specific sites and regulates the 3D structure of chromatin (PubMed:18347100, PubMed:18654629, PubMed:19322193). Binds together strands of DNA, thus forming chromatin loops, and anchors DNA to cellular structures, such as the nuclear lamina (PubMed:18347100, PubMed:18654629, PubMed:19322193). Defines the boundaries between active and heterochromatic DNA via binding to chromatin insulators, thereby preventing interaction between promoter and nearby enhancers and silencers (PubMed:18347100, PubMed:18654629, PubMed:19322193). Plays a critical role in the epigenetic regulation (PubMed:16949368). Participates in the allele-specific gene expression at the imprinted IGF2/H19 gene locus (PubMed:16107875, PubMed:16815976, PubMed:17827499). On the maternal allele, binding within the H19 imprinting control region (ICR) mediates maternally inherited higher-order chromatin conformation to restrict enhancer access to IGF2 (By similarity). Mediates interchromosomal association between IGF2/H19 and WSB1/NF1 and may direct distant DNA segments to a common transcription factory (By similarity). Regulates asynchronous replication of IGF2/H19 (By similarity). Plays a critical role in gene silencing over considerable distances in the genome (By similarity). Preferentially interacts with unmethylated DNA, preventing spreading of CpG methylation and maintaining methylation-free zones (PubMed:18413740). Inversely, binding to target sites is prevented by CpG methylation (PubMed:18413740). Plays an important role in chromatin remodeling (PubMed:18413740). Can dimerize when it is bound to different DNA sequences, mediating long-range chromatin looping (PubMed:12191639). Causes local loss of histone acetylation and gain of histone methylation in the beta-globin locus, without affecting transcription (PubMed:12191639). When bound to chromatin, it provides an anchor point for nucleosomes positioning (PubMed:12191639). Seems to be essential for homologous X-chromosome pairing (By similarity). May participate with Tsix in establishing a regulatable epigenetic switch for X chromosome inactivation (PubMed:11743158). May play a role in preventing the propagation of stable methylation at the escape genes from X-inactivation (PubMed:11743158). Involved in sister chromatid cohesion (PubMed:12191639). Associates with both centromeres and chromosomal arms during metaphase and required for cohesin localization to CTCF sites (PubMed:18550811). Plays a role in the recruitment of CENPE to the pericentromeric/centromeric regions of the chromosome during mitosis (PubMed:26321640). Acts as a transcriptional repressor binding to promoters of vertebrate MYC gene and BAG1 gene (PubMed:18413740, PubMed:8649389, PubMed:9591631). Also binds to the PLK and PIM1 promoters (PubMed:12191639). Acts as a transcriptional activator of APP (PubMed:9407128). Regulates APOA1/C3/A4/A5 gene cluster and controls MHC class II gene expression (PubMed:18347100, PubMed:19322193). Plays an essential role in oocyte and preimplantation embryo development by activating or repressing transcription (By similarity). Seems to act as tumor suppressor (PubMed:12191639).

Supplementary info

Activity summary

CTCF also known as the CCCTC-binding factor is a highly conserved zinc finger protein involved in transcriptional regulation and chromatin organization. It has a molecular weight of approximately 82 kDa. The CTCF protein plays a critical mechanical role in controlling the three-dimensional architecture of the genome by binding to specific DNA sequences and forming chromatin loops. It is widely expressed in various cell types across tissues where it acts as a transcriptional repressor and activator depending on the context. CTCF immunofluorescence techniques enable the visualization of its dynamic distribution and expression within the nucleus.

Biological function summary

The multipurpose CTCF protein acts in coordinating the spatial organization of the genome. It functions as an insulator by regulating the boundaries between different chromosomal domains and controlling gene expression. CTCF operates within various complexes interacting with cohesin a vital protein complex that facilitates loop formation and influences genome architecture. This interaction helps in maintaining the integrity of the genome structure and proper chromatin insulation which are essential for normal gene function.

Pathways

CTCF plays significant roles in epigenetic regulatory networks and transcriptional pathways. In the epigenetic landscape it influences gene expression through modulation of DNA methylation states at CpG islands interacting with proteins like DNA methyltransferases. In transcriptional pathways CTCF interacts with nuclear factor Y (NF-Y) which contributes to cell cycle regulation by modulating the expression of cell cycle genes. These pathways reflect CTCF's versatility in gene regulation and its influence on maintaining cellular homeostasis.

Associated diseases and disorders

CTCF disruptions have been implicated in cancer and intellectual disabilities. Mutations or altered expression of CTCF can lead to tumorigenesis as CTCF acts as a tumor suppressor by controlling oncogene and tumor suppressor gene expression. In intellectual disabilities CTCF mutations affect brain development by disrupting the expression of neuronal genes. The protein's interaction with cohesin has links to disorders such as Cornelia de Lange syndrome where cohesin complex dysfunction parallels the phenotypes seen with CTCF aberrations.

    CUT&Tag - Anti-CTCF antibody [EPR18253] - ChIP Grade (ab188408)

    CUT&Tag-seq was performed using 200,000 Oli-neu (Oligodendrocyte progenitor) cells. Cells were permeabilized with 0.05% Digitonin and 0.01% NP-40 for 3 minutes. A 1:100 dilution of Recombinant Anti-CTCF antibody [EPR18253] - ChIP Grade (ab188408) was used, along with a Guinea pig anti-rabbit Secondary. DNA was seg using Illumina NovaSeq S Prime to a depth of 24 million reads.

    ChIP - Anti-CTCF antibody [EPR18253] - ChIP Grade (ab188408)

    Chromatin was prepared from HeLa (Human epithelial cells from cervix adenocarcinoma) cells according to the Abcam X-ChIP protocol. Cells were fixed with formaldehyde for 10 minutes. The ChIP was performed with 25μg of chromatin, 2μg of ab188408 (blue), and 20μl of Anti Rabbit IgG sepharose beads. 2μg of rabbit normal IgG was added to the beads control (yellow). The immunoprecipitated DNA was quantified by real time PCR (Sybr green approach).

    ChIC/CUT&RUN sequencing - Anti-CTCF antibody [EPR18253] - ChIP Grade (ab188408)

    ChIC/CUT&RUN was performed using a pAG-MNAse at a final concentration of 700 ng/mL, 2 x 10^5 HeLa (Human cervix adenocarcinoma epithelial cell line) cells and 5 µg of ab188408 [EPR18253]. The resulting DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of 10 million reads. The negative IgG control Rabbit IgG, monoclonal [EPR25A] - Isotype Control ab172730 is also shown.

    The ChIP data was conducted on chromatin prepared from HeLa cells. Cells were fixed with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes. ChIP was performed with 10^7 HeLa cells and 8 µg of ab188408. ChIP DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of 30 million reads.

    ChIP-sequencing - Anti-CTCF antibody [EPR18253] - ChIP Grade (ab188408)

    Chromatin was prepared from Mouse Embryonic Fibroblast cells. Cells were fixed with 1% formaldehyde for 10 minutes. ChIP was performed with 10^7 cells and 8 µg of [Anti-CTCF antibody]( ab188408). ChIP DNA was sequenced on the Illumina NovaSeq 6000 to a depth of 30 million reads. The Input control is also shown.
