General description

The protein named NLRC5, or also known as Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain protein 27, Caterpiller protein 16.1 (CLR16.1), or Nucleotide-binding oligomerization domain protein 4 and encoded by the gene NLRC5/NOD27/NOD4, plays a role in the homeostatic control of innate immunity and anti-viral defense mechanisms. NLRC5 also likely regulates the NF kappa B and type 1 interferon signaling response pathways induced upon infection. NLRC5 interacts with CHUK and IKBKB and prevents CHUK and IKBKB phosphorylation thus inhibiting their kinase activity. NLRC5 interacts with DDX58 and IFIH1 proteins and blocks the interaction of MAVS to DDX58 proteins. NLRC5 is localized to the cytoplasm. NLRC5 is expressed in spleen, thymus, lung, brain, tonsil, heart and prostate at moderate levels, but NLRC5 expression is dramatically induced by interferons during pathological infections. Traditional immune responses studies have demonstrated that NLRC5 is a specific and master regulator of major histocompatibility complex (MHC) class I genes as well as related genes involved in MHC class I antigen presentation. The expression of MHC class I genes is regulated by NLRC5 in coordination with the RFX components through an enhanceosome-dependent manner, and the involvement of NLRC5 in MHC class I mediated CD8+ T cell activation, proliferation and cytotoxicity has proved to be critical for host defense against intracellular bacterial infections.

Specificity

Target specificity of clone 3H8 was confirmed by Western blotting using lysates from cells overexpressing exogenously transfected NLRC5 as well as cells knocked down of endogenous NLRC5 by shRNA transfection (Neerincx, A., et al. (2010). J. Biol. Chem. 285(34):26223-26232). Clone 3H8 epitope is present in human NLRC5 spliced isoforms 1 and 4, but absent from isoforms 2, 3, 5, and 6 reported by UniProt (Q86WI3).

Immunogen

BSA-conjugated linear peptide corresponding to the C-terminal sequence of human NLRC5.

Application

Detect NLRC5 using this rat monoclonal antibody, Anti-NLRC5 Antibody, clone 3H8 validated for use in western blotting, IP & Flow Cytometry.
Flow Cytometry Analysis: 0.25 µg from a representative lot detected NLRC5 in Jurkat and Raji cells.

Immunoprecipitation Analysis: A representative lot detected poly(I:C) (Cat. No. 528906) treatment-induced upregulation of endogenous NLRC5 in HeLa cells by IP-Western blotting analysis of both cytosolic and nuclear fractions. A strong NLRC5 nuclear accumulation was seen upon nuclear export inhibition by LepB (Cat. No. 431050) treatment, whereas NLRC5 was mainly cytoplasmic in untreated cells (Neerincx, A., et al. (2012). J. Immunol. 188(10):4940-4950).

Western Blotting Analysis: A representative lot detected NLRC5 in THP-1 cell lysate as well as exogenously expressed FLAG-tagged NLRC5 in lysate from transfected HEK293T cells. Target band detection was greatly diminished using lysates from NLRC5 siRNA-transfected THP-1 cells. (Neerincx, A., et al. (2010). J. Biol. Chem. 285(34):26223-26232).

Proteins of the nucleotide-binding domain, leucine-rich repeat (NLR)-containing family recently gained attention as important components of the innate immune system. Although over 20 of these proteins are present in humans, only a few members including the cytosolic pattern recognition receptors
