Anti-RecQ5 Antibody

产品说明

一般描述

ATP-dependent DNA helicase Q5 (EC 3.6.4.12; UniProt O94762; also known as DNA helicase RecQ-like type 5, RecQ5, RecQ protein-like 5) is encoded by the RECQL5 (also known as RECQ5) gene (Gene ID 9400) in human. Human RECQ proteins (RECQ1, BLM, WRN, RECQ4, and RECQ5) constitute a family of highly conserved DNA helicases with nonredundant functions to ensure proper development. RECQ5 plays an important role in preventing both transcription-associated double-stranded breaks (DSBs) and DSBs caused by TOP1 poisons, such as camptothecin (CPT), and Recq5 deficiency leads to genome instability and cancer development in mice. RECQ5 KIX domain mediated interaction with RNA polymerase II (RNAPII) prevents RNAPII from binding transcription elongation factor TFIIS, thereby suppressing RNAPII-dependent transcription initiation and DSBs. On the other hand, RECQ5 is also known to interact with the active RNAPII (RNAPIIo) elongation complex to maintain the transcription elongation rate and prevent genome instability. In addition, RECQ5 helicase domain mediated interaction with TOP1 is reported to facilitate TOP1 K391/K436 SUMOylation, promoting TOP1-RNAPIIo association and efficient recruitment of mRNA processing factors to the transcriptionally active chromatin to prevent genome instability caused by R-loops formation.

特异性

This antiserum recognizes RECQ5 isoform Beta by targeting a sequence from the RAD51-interacting region within the helicase domain. This antiserum is expected to react with also spliced isoform 4, but not the helicase domain-truncated Alpha (RecQ5b) and Gamma (RecQ5a) spliced variants reported by UniProt (O94762).

免疫原

Linear peptide corresponding a sequence from the RAD51 interaction domain of human RecQ5.
Epitope: RAD51 interaction domain.

Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected FLAG-tagged wild-type RecQ5 and a D157A (DA) ATPase-defective RecQ5 mutant construct, but not a helicase domain-truncated (a.a. 450–991 deleted) RECQ5 construct expressed in HEK293 T cells devoid of endogenous RecQ5 (Li, M., et al. (2015). Nat. Commun. 6:6720).
Western Blotting Analysis: Representative lots detected siRNA-mediated RecQ5 downregulation using whole cell lysate or chromatin fraction from human HEK293T cells. Combined treatment with siRNA and the transcription inhibitor 5,6-dichloro-beta-d-ribofuranosyl benzimidazole (DRB) further decreased cellular RecQ5 protein level (Li, M., et al. (2015). Nat. Commun. 6:6720; Li, M., et al. (2011). Mol. Cell. Biol. 31(10) 2090-2099).
This Anti-RecQ5 Antibody is validated for use in Western Blotting for the detection of RecQ5.
