General description

The unmodified form of RanGAP1 (65 kDa) is exclusively cytoplasmic, whereas the 90 kDa SUMO-1-modified form is associated with the cytoplasmic fibers of the nuclear pore complex (NPC).

Immunogen

synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 573-587 located at the C-terminus of human RanGAP1. The sequence is highly conserved (80% identity) in mouse RanGAP1.

Application

Anti-RanGAP1 (C-terminal) antibody produced in rabbit has been used for immunoblotting and listeriolysin O (LLO) purification.
Yale Center for High Throughput Cell Biology IF-tested antibodies. Each antibody is tested by immunofluorescence against HUVEC cells using the Yale HTCB IF protocol. To learn more about us and Yale Center for High Throughput Cell Biology partnership, visit sigma.com/htcb-if.

Biochem/physiol Actions

RanGAP1 (Ran GTPase Activating Protein 1, 65 kDa) is a key regulator of Ran activity, specifically inducing the GTPase activity of Ran. RanGAP1 is conjugated to the small ubiquitin-related modifier protein SUMO-1. The association of RanGAP1 with RanBP2 facilitates nuclear transport.

Physical form

Solution in 0.01 M phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, containing 15 mM sodium azide.

During infection, pathogenic bacteria manipulate the host cell in various ways to allow their own replication, propagation and escape from host immune responses. Post-translational modifications are unique mechanisms that allow cells to rapidly, locally and specifically modify activity or interactions

Posttranslational modifications (PTMs) can alter many fundamental properties of a protein. One or combinations of them have been known to regulate the dynamics of many cellular pathways and consequently regulate all vital processes. Understandably, pathogens have evolved sophisticated strategies to
