General description
Centromere protein A is a protein encoded by the CENPA gene in humans. It is a histone H3 variant that has centromere-specific nucleosomal property and is located at neocentromere found on chromosome 10. CENP-A- binding clusters is associated with nucleosomal blocks within the neocentromeric chromatin.
Immunogen
synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 124-140 located at the C-terminus of human CENP-A, conjugated to KLH. This sequence is highly conserved (88% identity) in bovine and dog CENP-A, and shows 60% identity with histone H3.
Application
Anti-CENP-A (C-terminal) 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.

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. Using chromatin immunoprecipitation (ChIP) and BAC-array analysis, we have previously described a 330 kb binding domain for CENP-A (a histone H3

Serine 7 of centromere protein A (CENP-A) is a very important mitosis-specific phosphorylation site. In this study, we demonstrate the subcellular distribution of Ser7 phosphorylated CENP-A during mitosis in MCF-7 cells. The Ser7 phosphorylation of CENP-A was observed beginning at

Altered expression of centromere protein-A (CENP-A) is observed in various types of human cancers. However, the clinical significance and pathological role of CENP-A in epithelial ovarian cancer (EOC) remains unclear. The main objective of this investigation was to clarify the

The role of the mitotic phosphorylation of the amino (NH2) terminus of Centromere Protein A (CENP-A), the histone variant epigenetic centromeric marker, remains elusive. Here, we show that the NH2 terminus of human CENP-A is essential for mitotic progression and
