Overlay histogram showing HEK293 cells stained with unpurified ab129169 (red line). The cells were fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min) and then permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min. The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab129169, 1/1000 dilution) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H&L) (ab150077) at 1/2000 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was rabbit IgG (monoclonal) (0.1μg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Unlabelled sample (blue line) was also used as a control. Acquisition of >5,000 events were collected using a 20mW Argon ion laser (488nm) and 525/30 bandpass filter. This antibody gave a positive signal in HEK293 cells fixed with 80% methanol (5 min)/permeabilized with 0.1% PBS-Tween for 20 min used under the same conditions.

We have systematically measured KD (the equilibrium dissociation constant between the antibody and its antigen), of more than 840 recombinant antibodies to assess not only their individual KD values but also to see the average affinity of antibody. Based on the comparison with published literature values for mouse monoclonal antibodies, Recombinant antibodies appear to be on average 1-2 order of magnitude higher affinity.

Supplementary information

HIRA also known as HIR or HIR/HIRA is a histone chaperone protein that plays an essential role in chromatin remodeling and nucleosome assembly. This protein has a mass of approximately 121 kDa. It is expressed in various tissues with notable presence in the liver heart and skeletal muscle. The HIRA protein interacts with other proteins to regulate the deposition of histone H3.3 which is important for processes like DNA replication and repair.
Biological function summary

HIRA participates in the formation of a complex known as the HIRA-ASF1A-CABIN1 protein complex. This complex operates in chromatin assembly and modulates the incorporation of histone variant H3.3 affecting gene silencing and transcription regulation. Interacting with histone proteins HIRA serves an important function in genome stability and epigenetic mark establishment.

Pathways

HIRA influences the histone replacement pathway significantly impacting gene expression and chromatin organization. HIRA works closely with ASF1A and CABIN1 proteins within this pathway. Additionally in the senescence-associated secretory phenotype pathway HIRA contributes to cellular aging processes by regulating transcriptional outcomes. The modulation of these pathways by HIRA exemplifies its key role in maintaining cellular functions.

Defects in HIRA associate with hypertrophic cardiomyopathy and some cancer types such as breast cancer. HIRA alterations can disrupt chromatin dynamics potentially linking it with poor prognostic factors in these diseases. In particular the HIRA gene can interact with other genes involved in cardiomyopathies like MYH7 affecting heart muscle function. Through its role in chromatin remodeling HIRA connects to various pathologies where gene regulation and DNA damage responses are compromised.

Target data

Cooperates with ASF1A to promote replication-independent chromatin assembly. Required for the periodic repression of histone gene transcription during the cell cycle. Required for the formation of senescence-associated heterochromatin foci (SAHF) and efficient senescence-associated cell cycle exit.
