Anti-CDYL1 Antibody

Ubiquitous (PubMed:19808672) . Expressed at moderate levels in all tissues examined (PubMed:19808672) . Isoform 2: Most abundantly expressed isoform (PubMed:19808672) .

Isoform 2: Chromatin reader protein that recognizes and binds histone H3 trimethylated at 'Lys-9', dimethylated at 'Lys- 27' and trimethylated at 'Lys-27' (H3K9me3, H3K27me2 and H3K27me3, respectively) (PubMed:19808672, PubMed:28402439) . Part of multimeric repressive chromatin complexes, where it is required for transmission and restoration of repressive histone marks, thereby preserving the epigenetic landscape (PubMed:28402439) . Required for chromatin targeting and maximal enzymatic activity of Polycomb repressive complex 2 (PRC2) ; acts as a positive regulator of PRC2 activity by bridging the pre-existing histone H3K27me3 and newly recruited PRC2 on neighboring nucleosomes (PubMed:22009739) . Acts as a corepressor for REST by facilitating histone-lysine N- methyltransferase EHMT2 recruitment and H3K9 dimethylation at REST target genes for repression (PubMed:19061646) . Involved X chromosome inactivation in females: recruited to Xist RNA-coated X chromosome and facilitates propagation of H3K9me2 by anchoring EHMT2 (By similarity) . Required for neuronal migration during brain development by repressing expression of RHOA (By similarity) . In addition to act as a chromatin reader, acts as a hydro-lyase (PubMed:28803779) . Shows crotonyl-coA hydratase activity by mediating the conversion of crotonyl-CoA ((2E) - butenoyl-CoA) to beta-hydroxybutyryl-CoA (3-hydroxybutanoyl-CoA), thereby acting as a negative regulator of histone crotonylation (PubMed:28803779) . Histone crotonylation is required during spermatogenesis; down-regulation of histone crotonylation by CDYL regulates the reactivation of sex chromosome-linked genes in round spermatids and histone replacement in elongating spermatids (By similarity) .
