ICC/IF image of ab40688 stained human HeLa cells. The cells were methanol fixed (5 min), permabilised in TBS-T (20 min) and incubated with the antibody (ab40688, 1μg/ml) for 1h at room temperature. 1%BSA / 10% normal serum / 0.3M glycine was used to quench autofluorescence and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Emerin antibody (AB40688)

Emerin was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg Hela whole cell extract, 5µg of Rabbit polyclonal to Emerin and 50µl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).
The antibody was incubated under agitation with Protein G beads for 10min, Hela whole cell extract lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10min under agitation.
Proteins were eluted by addition of 40µl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70oC; 10µl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab40688.
Secondary : Clean-Blot IP Detection Reagent (HRP) at 1/500 dilution.
Band : 33kDa; Emerin;non specific bands - 52 and 60kDa : We are unsure as to the identity of this extra band.

Supplementary information

Emerin also referred to as the emerin protein is a nuclear envelope protein with a mass of approximately 34 kDa. It belongs to a family of LEM domain proteins that localize at the inner nuclear membrane. Emerin predominantly expresses in cardiac and skeletal muscles but also appears in other tissues. Its primary mechanical role involves binding to the nuclear lamina structures and interacting with various nuclear proteins to maintain nuclear integrity and architecture.
Biological function summary

Emerin serves as an important component in mechanical signal transduction pathways. It interacts with barrier-to-autointegration factor (BAF) forming an important part of the nuclear envelope complex. This protein complex helps in chromatin organization and regulation of gene expression. Emerin influences nuclear assembly and shape and modulates chromatin attachment to the nuclear envelope playing an important role in nuclear processes.

Pathways

Emerin participates actively in the Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy pathway and affects the interplay of other nuclear lamina components like lamin A/C. It stabilizes chromatin structure and cooperates with proteins such as nesprins and SUN proteins to regulate nuclear-cytoskeletal interactions. Emerin's involvement in these pathways highlights its role in maintaining mechanical resilience and functionality of the nuclear envelope impacting gene expression dynamics.

Emerin mutations relate to Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy (EDMD) and other musculoskeletal disorders. Alteration in emerin disrupts its interaction with lamin A/C and BAF leading to nuclear envelope defects. This dysfunction manifests in muscle weakness and cardiac anomalies typical of EDMD. Understanding emerin's role offers insights into pathogenesis and potential therapeutic targets for these conditions.

Target data

Stabilizes and promotes the formation of a nuclear actin cortical network. Stimulates actin polymerization in vitro by binding and stabilizing the pointed end of growing filaments. Inhibits beta-catenin activity by preventing its accumulation in the nucleus. Acts by influencing the nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin through a CRM1-dependent export pathway. Links centrosomes to the nuclear envelope via a microtubule association. Required for proper localization of non-farnesylated prelamin-A/C. Together with NEMP1, contributes to nuclear envelope stiffness in germ cells (PubMed : 32923640). EMD and BAF are cooperative cofactors of HIV-1 infection. Association of EMD with the viral DNA requires the presence of BAF and viral integrase. The association of viral DNA with chromatin requires the presence of BAF and EMD.
