Gene Information

human ... CENPA(1058)

General description

CENP-A is a 17 kDa histone H3- like protein.
Centromere protein A is a protein encoded by the CENPA gene in humans. It is referred as CenH3 and CENP-A. It is a histone H3 variant that has centromere-specific nucleosomal property and is located at neocentromere found on a chromosome 10. CENP-A- binding clusters is associated with nucleosomal blocks within the neocentromeric chromatin.

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 32-49 located near the N-terminus of human CENP-A, conjugated to KLH.

Application

Anti-CENP-A antibody has been used in immunoblotting.
Anti-CENP-A antibody produced in rabbit is suitable for western blotting at a concentration of 1-2μg/mL using HEK-293 cells expressing human CENP-A.

Biochem/physiol Actions

The location of the centromere on the chromosome is dependent on the histone H3 variant centromere protein A (CENP-A). The N-terminal tail of CENP-A is highly different from other H3 variants. Serine 7 of (CENP-A) plays an important role in mitosis-specific phosphorylation. It also plays a key role in kinetochore assembly. Alteration in CENP-A causes various human cancers. CENP-A may play an important role in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) and may serve as prognostic marker. It acts as a potential target for gene therapy in the treatment of EOC. The NH2 terminus of human CENP-A is essential for mitotic progression and necessary for the platform function of CENP-A centromeric chromatin in the assembly as well as maintenance of active kinetochores.

Physical form

Heterochromatin is defined by distinct posttranslational modifications on histones, such as methylation of histone H3 at lysine 9 (H3K9), which allows heterochromatin protein 1 (HP1)-related chromodomain proteins to bind. Heterochromatin is frequently found near CENP-A chromatin, which is the key

Human neocentromeres are fully functional centromeres that arise epigenetically from non-centromeric precursor sequences that are devoid of alpha-satellite DNA.
