Biological background
PDE2A (protein: T-cell surface glycoprotein CD3 zeta chain) is a commonly studied target in molecular and cellular biology. Functional context (as provided): Component of the RNF20/40 E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complex that mediates monoubiquitination of 'Lys-120' of histone H2B (H2BK120ub1). H2BK120ub1 gives a specific tag for epigenetic transcriptional activation and is also prerequisite for histone H3 'Lys-4' and 'Lys-79' methylation (H3K4me and H3K79me, respectively). It thereby plays a central role inb histone code and gene regulation. The RNF20/40 complex forms a H2B ubiquitin ligase complex in cooperation with the E2 enzyme UBE2A or UBE2B; reports about the cooperation with UBE2E1/UBCH are contradictory. Required for transcriptional activation of Hox genes. Recruited to the MDM2 promoter, probably by being recruited by p53/TP53, and thereby acts as a transcriptional coactivator. Mediates the polyubiquitination of isoform 2 of PA2G4 in cancer cells leading to its proteasome-mediated degradation. . Reported cellular localization context: Nucleus . Tissue expression notes (as provided): Expressed in the normal brain and also in malignant gliomas (at protein level). .
Research relevance and current trends
- Research context keywords from the source record include: Cell Biology,Chromatin Modifying Enzymes,Epigenetics and Nuclear Signaling,Histones,Proteasome / Ubiquitin,Proteolysis/Ubiquitin,Ring Finger E3 Ligase,Ubiquitin E3 Enzymes.
- Current studies often focus on connecting target abundance/localization to pathway perturbations across models, tissues, and cell states.
- Quantitative and multiplexed assays (e.g., imaging + immunoblot panels) are commonly used to compare phenotypes across conditions and time-courses.
Common research applications
- Western blotting (WB): assess relative target abundance across samples, treatments, or time-points.
Workflow ideas (metafield): Validate PDE2A antibody specificity using KO/KD control samples (WB/IF/IHC as appropriate), Detect PDE2A expression by Western blot in cell or tissue lysates, Compare relative PDE2A levels across experimental conditions (dose/time-course) using antibody-based readouts
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Consider isoforms and post-translational modifications (PTMs) that may shift apparent molecular weight or epitope accessibility.
- Apparent molecular weight may vary by sample type and processing (observed MW: 106 kDa; calculated MW: 113662 MW).
- Control concepts: include appropriate negative controls (e.g., isotype, KO/KD samples) and orthogonal validation when feasible.
