The homeoproteins CCAAT displacement protein (CDP) and special AT-rich sequence binding protein 1 (SATB1) are transcriptional repressors of many cellular genes, and they participate in cell development and cell type differentiation. SATB1 is expressed primarily in thymocytes, and, like CDP, it also contains a distinct homeobox DNA-binding domain that is essential for DNA binding. SATB1 and CDP interact through these homeodomains and synergistically function as mediators of gene expression. SATB1 contains an additional domain that has a higher affinity for DNA and specifically facilitates the direct association between SATB1 and the nuclear matrix attachment regions (MARs) of DNA. MARs are specific DNA sequences that bind to the nuclear matrix and form the base of chromosomal loops that organize the chromosomes and regulate DNA transcription and replication within the nucleus. The association of SATB1 with the core unwinding element within the base-unpairing region of MARs requires both the MAR and homeobox binding domains of SATB1.

Sequence Similarity
Belongs to the CUT homeobox family.
Tissue Specificity
Expressed predominantly in thymus.
Post-translational Modification
Sumoylated. Sumoylation promotes cleavage by caspases.; Phosphorylated by PKC. Acetylated by PCAF. Phosphorylated form interacts with HDAC1, but unphosphorylated form interacts with PCAF. DNA binding properties are activated by phosphorylation and inactivated by acetylation. In opposition, gene expression is down-regulated by phosphorylation but up-regulated by acetylation.; Cleaved at Asp-254 by caspase-3 and caspase-6 during T-cell apoptosis in thymus and during B-cell stimulation. The cleaved forms cannot dimerize and lose transcription regulation function because of impaired DNA and chromatin association.

Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human tonsil tissue using anti-SATB1 antibody.
The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) (high pressure) for 2 minutes. The tissues were blocked in 5% BSA for 30 minutes at room temperature, washed with ddH2O and PBS, and then probed with the primary antibody (ET1604-10, 1/200) for 30 minutes at room temperature. The detection was performed using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. Tissues were counterstained with hematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

Flow cytometric analysis of Jurkat cells labeling SATB1.
The cells were fixed, permeabilized and stained with the primary antibody (ET1604-10, 1/50) (red). After incubation of the primary antibody at room temperature for an hour, the cells were stained with a Alexa Fluor 488-conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit IgG Secondary antibody at 1/1000 dilution for 30 minutes.Unlabelled sample was used as a control (cells without incubation with primary antibody; black).
