Preparation and Storage

Background: Cbx2

Chromobox homolog 2 (Cbx2), also known as CDCA6 and M33, is an approximately 56 kDa protein component of the nuclear polycomb repressive complex 1 (PRC1). PRC1 regulates chromatin organization and gene transcription. Cbx2 interacts with methylated histone H3, and this is regulated by phosphorylation of Ser42 within the Cbx2 chromodomain. Cbx2 is required for male sex determination by activating expression of the Sry gene. It is also important for germ cell viability and meiotic chromosome synapsis. Within amino acids 131-217, human Cbx2 shares 94% and 92% aa sequence identity with mouse and rat Cbx2, respectively. Alternative splicing generates an additional isoform that is substituted and truncated following Lys96.
