Anti-v-Myb/MYBL1 Antibody Picoband®

MYB proto-oncogene like 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MYBL1 gene. A-Myb is expressed at specific times in reproductive tissues, some neural cells, and a subset of normal and neoplastic B lymphocytes. Both A-Myb and B-Myb are expressed in t (14:18) lymphoma cells where they then inhibit cell arrest and apoptotic signaling. Expression of B-Myb rescues cells from p53-induced G1 phase arrest that is mediated by p21, while A-Myb functions as an anti-apoptotic factor by effectively activating the bcl-2 promoter and thereby up-regulating Bcl-2 expression.

Specifically deubiquitinates 'Lys-120' of histone H2A (H2AK119Ub), a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional repression, thereby acting as a coactivator. Deubiquitination of histone H2A is a prerequisite for subsequent phosphorylation at 'Ser-11' of histone H3 (H3S10ph), and is required for chromosome segregation when cells enter into mitosis. In resting B- and T-lymphocytes, phosphorylation by AURKB leads to enhance its activity, thereby maintaining transcription in resting lymphocytes. Regulates Hox gene expression via histone H2A deubiquitination. Prefers nucleosomal substrates. Does not deubiquitinate histone H2B.
