ChIC/CUT&RUN sequencing - Anti-HDAC2 antibody [Y461] (AB32117)
CUT&RUN profiling with HDAC2 antibody demonstrates robust genome-wide enrichment in wild-type (WT) cells, which is markedly diminished in HDAC2 knockout (KO) cells. Heatmaps of genome-wide signal flanking annotated transcription start sites (TSSs, +/- 2 kbp) display CUT&RUN data generated using the CUTANA™ CUT&RUN Kit (EpiCypher 14-1048) with HDAC2 antibody (Abcam ab32117, 0.5 µg). 500,000 HEK293T WT or KO (Abcam ab266590) cells were used per reaction. IgG antibody was included as a negative control to assess non-specific background. Libraries were prepared using the CUTANA™ CUT&RUN Library Prep Kit (EpiCypher 14-1001). Sequencing was performed with paired-end 50 bp reads, and data were processed on CUTANA™ Cloud (cloud.epicypher.com) by alignment to the hg38 genome. Heatmaps were generated using deepTools (Ramнrez et al., Nucleic Acids Res. 2014; PMID : 24799436). Row-linked data are ranked by intensity relative to HDAC2 WT, with red indicating high localized enrichment and blue denoting background. Validated antibodies show genome-wide enrichment above IgG background consistent with HDAC2 binding in WT cells and near complete loss of signal in KO cells.

Biological function summary
HDAC2 is involved in cell cycle regulation and differentiation. It is part of the co-repressor complex and interacts with other proteins such as Sin3 and NuRD to repress transcription. These interactions are vital for maintaining normal cellular functions and ensuring proper response to external signals. This protein is also connected to HEK293T cells which are a common model in scientific studies due to their robust expression of proteins like HDAC2.
Pathways
HDAC2 participates in the regulation of transcriptional activity and cellular stress response. It is an important player in the histone modification pathway interacting with proteins such as HDAC1 and transcriptional regulators like REST. HDAC2 is also linked with the Notch signaling pathway which is essential for cell fate decisions. These pathways highlight its role in both maintaining cellular homeostasis and adapting to changes in the cellular environment.
