Target

  • Function

    Stabilizes and promotes the formation of a nuclear actin cortical network. Stimulates actin polymerization in vitro by binding and stabilizing the pointed end of growing filaments. Inhibits beta-catenin activity by preventing its accumulation in the nucleus. Acts by influencing the nuclear accumulation of beta-catenin through a CRM1-dependent export pathway. Links centrosomes to the nuclear envelope via a microtubule association. EMD and BAF are cooperative cofactors of HIV-1 infection. Association of EMD with the viral DNA requires the presence of BAF and viral integrase. The association of viral DNA with chromatin requires the presence of BAF and EMD. Required for proper localization of non-farnesylated prelamin-A/C.

  • Tissue specificity

    Skeletal muscle, heart, colon, testis, ovary and pancreas.

  • Involvement in disease

    Defects in EMD are the cause of Emery-Dreifuss muscular dystrophy type 1 (EDMD1) [MIM:310300]. A degenerative myopathy characterized by weakness and atrophy of muscle without involvement of the nervous system, early contractures of the elbows Achilles tendons and spine, and cardiomyopathy associated with cardiac conduction defects.

  • Sequence similarities

    Contains 1 LEM domain.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Found in four different phosphorylated forms, three of which appear to be associated with the cell cycle.

  • Cellular localization

    Nucleus inner membrane. Nucleus outer membrane. Colocalized with BANF1 at the central region of the assembling nuclear rim, near spindle-attachment sites. The accumulation of different intermediates of prelamin-A/C (non-farnesylated or carboxymethylated farnesylated prelamin-A/C) in fibroblasts modify its localization in the nucleus.

    Lanes 1 - 3: Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab40725 observed at 35 kDa. Red - loading control, ab9484, observed at 37 kDa.

    ab40725 was shown to specifically react with Emerin in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in Emerin knockout cells. Wild-type and Emerin knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. Ab40725 and ab9484 (Mouse anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 μg/ml and 1/20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed ab216773 and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed ab216776 secondary antibodies at 1/10000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

    ICC/IF image of ab40725 stained human HeLa cells. The cells were methanol fixed (5 min), permabilised in TBS-T (20 min) and incubated with the antibody (ab40725, 1µg/ml) for 1h at room temperature. 1%BSA / 10% normal serum / 0.3M glycine was used to quench autofluorescence and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).
