Biological background
Biological context: Isoform 2 and isoform 3 function as proton-gated sodium channels; they are activated by a drop of the extracellular pH and then become rapidly desensitized. The channel generates a biphasic current with a fast inactivating and a slow sustained phase. Has high selectivity for sodium ions and can also transport lithium ions with high efficiency. Isoform 2 can also transport potassium, but with lower efficiency. It is nearly impermeable to the larger rubidium and cesium ions. Isoform 3 can also transport calcium ions. Mediates glutamate-independent Ca2+entry into neurons upon acidosis. This Ca2+overloading is toxic for cortical neurons and may be in part responsible for ischemic brain injury. Heteromeric channel assembly seems to modulate channel properties. Functions as a postsynaptic proton receptor that influences intracellular Ca2+concentration and calmodulin-dependent protein kinase II phosphorylation and thereby the density of dendritic spines. Modulates activity in the circuits underlying innate fear.
Expression and localization notes: tissue context: Expressed in most or all neurons..
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): Compare MBD1 levels across samples and conditions using appropriate loading and biological controls.
- Immunohistochemistry (IHC): Evaluate spatial distribution of MBD1 in tissue sections, considering fixation and antigen retrieval effects.
- Flow cytometry: Quantify MBD1-positive populations in single-cell suspensions with appropriate gating and controls.
- ELISA: Use antibody-based detection formats to assess antigen presence or binding in plate-based assays.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Account for isoforms, post-translational modifications, and sample-specific processing that can shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Use positive/negative biological controls where possible (e.g., known-expressing cells/tissues, knockdown/knockout models) and include appropriate secondary-only/isotype controls for imaging workflows.
Additional product notes (from provided fields)
- Background: MBD1 (Methyl-CpG-Binding Domain Protein 1), also known as PCM1 or CXXC3, is a protein that in humans is encoded by the MBD1 gene. Using PCR on a hybrid panel and FISH, Hendrich et al. (1999) mapped the MBD1 gene to chromosome 18q21, 2.1 cM distal to MBD2. Using yeast 2-hybrid analysis, reciprocal immunoprecipitation analysis, and protein pull-down assays, Fujita et al. (2003) showed that MBD1 interacted ly with MCAF. Deletion analysis revealed that the C-terminal transcriptional repressor domain (TRD) of MBD1 interacted with a conserved C-terminal domain of MCAF. Reporter gene assays showed that MCAF increased the repressive function of the isolated TRD of MBD1 against SP1. Chromatin immunoprecipitation analysis revealed that MBD1 linked MCAF to methylated promoters. Uchimura et al. (2006) found that MBD1 was multiply sumoylated in HeLa cells. Sumoylation did not alter the intracellular localization of MBD1 at nuclear foci in C-33A human cervical cancer cells.
