Function

Seems to be involved in transcriptional silencing in heterochromatin-like complexes. Recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9', leading to epigenetic repression. May contribute to the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane through its interaction with lamin B receptor (LBR). Involved in the formation of functional kinetochore through interaction with MIS12 complex proteins. Contributes to the conversion of local chromatin to a heterochromatin-like repressive state through H3 'Lys-9' trimethylation, mediates the recruitment of the methyltransferases SUV39H1 and/or SUV39H2 by the PER complex to the E-box elements of the circadian target genes such as PER2 itself or PER1. Mediates the recruitment of NIPBL to sites of DNA damage at double-strand breaks (DSBs) (PubMed:28167679).

Activity summary

The HP1 gamma protein also known as CBX3 is an essential component of the chromatin organization machinery. It has a molecular weight of approximately 22-25 kDa. HP1 gamma is expressed in a variety of tissues including brain liver and muscle indicating its broad functional involvement across different biological systems. It exhibits a high affinity for binding to histone H3 when it is methylated facilitating the formation of heterochromatin which is key to regulating gene expression and maintaining genome stability.

Biological function summary

HP1 gamma plays a significant role in gene silencing and chromatin structure maintenance. It forms part of a protein complex that includes chromatin remodeling enzymes and transcriptional repressors which help regulate access to genomic DNA. HP1 gamma's association with other chromatin-associated proteins helps modulate the transcriptional response to cellular stimuli ensuring appropriate gene expression patterns needed for normal cell function and development.

Pathways

HP1 gamma is involved in heterochromatin formation and maintenance pathways working alongside other proteins like SUV39H1 and HP1 alpha. Through these pathways HP1 gamma ensures the compact organization of repetitive DNA sequences and suppresses unnecessary transcription. It is also involved in the DNA damage response pathway playing a role in preserving genomic integrity by interacting with proteins such as BRCA1 and 53BP1 involved in DNA repair.

Associated diseases and disorders

HP1 gamma's dysregulation has been associated with cancer and neurological disorders. Overexpression or mutations in this protein can lead to aberrant gene silencing contributing to oncogenesis where cancer-related genes become improperly regulated. Additionally alterations in HP1 gamma function are linked to neurodegenerative diseases potentially through its interaction with proteins like MECP2 whereby changes in the chromatin environment influence neuronal gene expression and function. Therefore understanding HP1 gamma's role provides insights into potential therapeutic targets for these conditions.

    Immunoprecipitation - Anti-HP1 gamma/CBX3 (phospho S93) antibody (ab45270)

    HP1 gamma/CBX was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg HepG2 whole cell extract, 5μg of Rabbit polyclonal to HP1 gamma/CBX and 50μl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).

    Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-HP1 gamma/CBX3 (phospho S93) antibody (ab45270)

    IHC image of HP1 gamma/CBX (phospho S83) staining in Human lung adenocarcinoma formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab45270, 1μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

    For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated) customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, primary antibody concentration and antibody incubation times.
