Human Gene CBX3 (ENST00000337620.8) from GENCODE V44
Description: Homo sapiens chromobox 3 (CBX3), transcript variant 1, mRNA. (from RefSeq NM_007276) RefSeq Summary (NM_007276): At the nuclear envelope, the nuclear lamina and heterochromatin are adjacent to the inner nuclear membrane. The protein encoded by this gene binds DNA and is a component of heterochromatin. This protein also can bind lamin B receptor, an integral membrane protein found in the inner nuclear membrane. The dual binding functions of the encoded protein may explain the association of heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane. This protein binds histone H3 tails methylated at Lys-9 sites. This protein is also recruited to sites of ultraviolet-induced DNA damage and double-strand breaks. Two transcript variants encoding the same protein but differing in the 5' UTR, have been found for this gene.[provided by RefSeq, Mar 2011]. Gencode Transcript: ENST00000337620.8 Gencode Gene: ENSG00000122565.19 Transcript (Including UTRs) Position: hg38 chr7:26,201,162-26,213,356 Size: 12,195 Total Exon Count: 6 Strand: + Coding Region Position: hg38 chr7:26,202,999-26,212,208 Size: 9,210 Coding Exon Count: 5
ID:CBX3_HUMAN DESCRIPTION: RecName: Full=Chromobox protein homolog 3; AltName: Full=HECH; AltName: Full=Heterochromatin protein 1 homolog gamma; Short=HP1 gamma; AltName: Full=Modifier 2 protein; FUNCTION: Seems to be involved in transcriptional silencing in heterochromatin-like complexes. Recognizes and binds histone H3 tails methylated at 'Lys-9', leading to epigenetic repression. May contribute to the association of the heterochromatin with the inner nuclear membrane through its interaction with lamin B receptor (LBR). Involved in the formation of functional kinetochore through interaction with MIS12 complex proteins. SUBUNIT: Binds directly to CHAF1A. Interacts with histone H3 methylated at 'Lys-9'. Part of the E2F6.com-1 complex in G0 phase composed of E2F6, MGA, MAX, TFDP1, CBX3, BAT8, EUHMTASE1, RING1, RNF2, MBLR, L3MBTL2 and YAF2. Interacts with LBR, INCENP, TRIM28/TIF1B, SUV420H1, SUV420H2 and SP100. Interacts with TIF1A (By similarity). Interacts with MIS12 and DSN1. Can interact directly with CBX5 via the chromoshadow domain. Interacts with POGZ. Interacts with CHAMP1. Interacts with ASXL1. INTERACTION: Self; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-78176, EBI-78176; Q9H2P0:ADNP; NbExp=2; IntAct=EBI-78176, EBI-1764854; Q14739:LBR; NbExp=4; IntAct=EBI-78176, EBI-1055147; Q13263:TRIM28; NbExp=3; IntAct=EBI-78176, EBI-78139; SUBCELLULAR LOCATION: Nucleus (Potential). Note=Associates with euchromatin and is largely excluded from constitutive heterochromatin. May be associated with microtubules and mitotic poles during mitosis (Potential). PTM: Phosphorylated by PIM1. Phosphorylated during interphase and possibly hyper-phosphorylated during mitosis. SIMILARITY: Contains 2 chromo domains.
The RNAfold program from the Vienna RNA Package is used to perform the secondary structure predictions and folding calculations. The estimated folding energy is in kcal/mol. The more negative the energy, the more secondary structure the RNA is likely to have.

The pictures above may be empty if there is no ModBase structure for the protein. The ModBase structure frequently covers just a fragment of the protein. You may be asked to log onto ModBase the first time you click on the pictures. It is simplest after logging in to just click on the picture again to get to the specific info on that model.
Orthologous Genes in Other Species
Orthologies between human, mouse, and rat are computed by taking the best BLASTP hit, and filtering out non-syntenic hits. For more distant species reciprocal-best BLASTP hits are used. Note that the absence of an ortholog in the table below may reflect incomplete annotations in the other species rather than a true absence of the orthologous gene.
