General description

Proliferating cell nuclear antigen (UniProt: P04961; also known as PCNA) is encoded by the Pcna gene (Gene ID: 25737) in rat. PCNA is a homotrimeric nuclear protein that serves as an auxiliary protein of DNA polymerase delta and is involved in the control of eukaryotic DNA replication by increasing the polymerase′s processability during elongation of the leading strand. It Induces a robust stimulatory effect on the 3′-5′ exonuclease and 3′-phosphodiesterase, but not apurinic-apyrimidinic (AP) endonuclease, APEX2 activities. It is reported to colocalize with CREBBP, EP300 and POLD1 to sites of DNA damage. It acts as a loading platform to recruit DDR proteins that allow completion of DNA replication after DNA damage and promote post-replication repair. PCNA can undergo phosphorylation on tyrosine 211 by EGFR that stabilizes chromatin-associated PCNA. Following DNA damage, it can undergo monoubiquitination to stimulate direct bypass of DNA lesions by specialized DNA polymerases or polyubiquitination to promote recombination-dependent DNA synthesis across DNA lesions by template switching mechanisms. Mutations in PCN gene are known to cause Ataxia-telangiectasia-like disorder 2 (ATLD2) that is characterized by developmental delay, ataxia, hearing loss, and short stature.

Specificity

Clone PC10 recognizes PCNA from all vertebrate and insect species tested and has been used to identify transformed cells (Kurki, 1988), proliferating cells in solid tumors (Smetana, 1983), and blast cells in leukemia patients (Takasaki, 1984). Immunohistochemistry with clone PC10 has been used to study the expression of PCNA in paraffin sections of normal tissues and lymphoid neoplasms (Hall, 1990). In proliferating cells, PCNA staining pattern is predominantly nuclear. By western blot, the antibody detects a polypeptide migrating at 36 kDa with an isoelectric point of 4.8.

Immunogen

Wound-induced hair follicle neogenesis (WIHN) has been demonstrated in laboratory mice (Mus musculus) after large (>1.5 × 1.5 cm2 ) full-thickness wounds. WIHN occurs more robustly in African spiny mice (Acomys cahirinus), which undergo autotomy to escape predation. Yet, the non-WIHN regenerative ability

Neocortex expansion during evolution is linked to higher numbers of neurons, which are thought to result from increased proliferative capacity and neurogenic potential of basal progenitor cells during development. Here, we show that EREG, encoding the growth factor EPIREGULIN, is

Histone deacetylases (HDACs) are present in the epidermal layer of the skin, outer root sheath, and hair matrix. To investigate how histone acetylation affects skin morphogenesis and homeostasis, mice were generated with a K14 promoter-mediated reduction of Hdac1 or Hdac2.
