Application Abreviews Notes
WB 1/5000. Detects a band of approximately 28 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 22 kDa).

Target

  • Function

    Component of heterochromatin that recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me), leading to epigenetic repression. In contrast, it is excluded from chromatin when 'Tyr-41' of histone H3 is phosphorylated (H3Y41ph). Can interact with lamin-B receptor (LBR). This interaction can contribute to the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. Involved in the formation of functional kinetochore through interaction with MIS12 complex proteins.
  • Sequence similarities

    Contains 2 chromo domains.
  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Phosphorylation of HP1 and LBR may be responsible for some of the alterations in chromatin organization and nuclear structure which occur at various times during the cell cycle (By similarity). Phosphorylated during interphase and possibly hyper-phosphorylated during mitosis.
    Ubiquitinated.
  • Cellular localization

    Nucleus. Chromosome. Chromosome > centromere. Component of centromeric and pericentromeric heterochromatin. Associates with chromosomes during mitosis. Associates specifically with chromatin during metaphase and anaphase.

      ab197721 was shown to specifically react with HP1 alpha in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in CBX5 (HP1 alpha) knockout cells. Wild-type and CBX5 (HP1 alpha) knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab197721 and ab184095 (Mouse monoclonal [mAbcam 9484] to GAPDH - Loading Control (Alexa Fluor® 680) loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1/5000 dilution and 1/1000 dilution respectively. The loading control was imaged using the Licor Odyssey CLx prior to blots being developed with ECL technique.

      Exposure time: 16 minutes


      This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris gel under the MES buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 35 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was then blocked for an hour using 2% Bovine Serum Albumin before being incubated with ab197721 overnight at 4°C. Antibody binding was visualised using ECL development solution ab133406.
