Centromere protein B also known as major centromere autoantigen B is an autoantigen protein of the cell nucleus. In humans, centromere protein B is encoded by the CENPB gene. [5] [6] [7]
Centromere protein B is a highly conserved protein that facilitates centromere formation. It is a DNA-binding protein that is derived from transposases of the pogo DNA transposon family. It contains a helix-loop-helix DNA binding motif at the N-terminus and a dimerization domain at the C-terminus. The DNA binding domain recognizes and binds a 17-bp sequence (CENP-B box) in the centromeric alpha satellite DNA. This protein is proposed to play an important role in the assembly of specific centromere structures in interphase nuclei and on mitotic chromosomes. It is also considered a major centromere autoantigen recognized by sera from patients with anti-centromere antibodies.
Centromere protein B is a potential biomarker of small-cell lung cancer. [8]
Death-associated protein 6 also known as Daxx is a protein that in humans is encoded by the DAXX gene.
Centromere protein A, also known as CENPA, is a protein which in humans is encoded by the CENPA gene. CENPA is a histone H3 variant which is the critical factor determining the kinetochore position(s) on each chromosome in most eukaryotes including humans.
E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase RING1 is an enzyme that in humans is encoded by the RING1 gene.
Centromere protein C 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPC1 gene.
Centromere protein U is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPU gene.
Serrate RNA effector molecule homolog (SRRT) also known as arsenite-resistance protein 2 (ARS2) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SRRT gene.
Remodeling and spacing factor 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the RSF1 gene.
Centromere protein H is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPH gene. It is involved in the assembly of kinetochore proteins, mitotic progression and chromosome segregation.
Pre-mRNA-splicing regulator WTAP is a protein that in humans is encoded by the WTAP gene.
Centromere protein I is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPI gene.
Centromere protein M also known as proliferation associated nuclear element 1 (PANE1) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPM gene.
SHC SH2 domain-binding protein 1 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the SHCBP1 gene.
Zinc finger CCCH domain-containing protein 13 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the ZC3H13 gene.
Chromobox protein homolog 8 is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CBX8 gene.
Centromere protein T is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPT gene.
Centromere protein O is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPO gene. CENPO is involved in cell proliferation and cell cycle progression and has been shown to be down-regulated in trisomic neurospheres a mouse model of Down Syndrome, resulting in reduced numbers of neural progenitors and neuroblasts and a severe reduction in numbers of neurons produced.
Nucleoporin 93 (Nup93) is a protein that in humans is encoded by the NUP93 gene.
Centromere protein N is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPN gene.
Centromere protein K is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPK gene.
Centromere protein L is a protein that in humans is encoded by the CENPL gene.
