Introduction
Histones play a critical role in transcriptional regulation, cell cycle progression, and developmental events. Histone acetylation/deacetylation alters chromosome structure and affects transcription factor access to DNA. The protein encoded by this gene has sequence homology to members of the histone deacetylase family. This gene is orthologous to the Xenopus and mouse MITR genes. The MITR protein lacks the histone deacetylase catalytic domain. It represses MEF2 activity through recruitment of multicomponent corepressor complexes that include CtBP and HDACs. This encoded protein may play a role in hematopoiesis. Multiple alternatively spliced transcripts have been described for this gene but the full-length nature of some of them has not been determined.
Both anti-HDAC9 N-term (102-10933) and C-term (102-10934) Pab were tested by WB and IP-WB using HeLa and HeLa-HDAC9 transfected cells. Top figure shows both Pab specifically detect HDAC9 in HeLa-HDAC9 transfected cell but not HeLa alone. Bottom figure shows that both Pab can immunoprecipitate (IP) HDAC9 from HeLa-HDAC9 tranfected cells. (Data kindly provided by Dr. Zhigang Yuan, H. Lee Moffitt Cancer Center and Research Institute, Tampa, FL).
Formalin-fixed and paraffin-embedded human cancer tissue reacted with the primary antibody, which was peroxidase-conjugated to the secondary antibody, followed by DAB staining. This data demonstrates the use of this antibody for immunohistochemistry; clinical relevance has not been evaluated. BC = breast carcinoma; HC = hepatocarcinoma.
