Description

General description

Nuclear RNA export factor 1 (NXF1, TAP) is a nuclear RNA exporter protein that contains a noncanonical RNP-type RNA binding domain (RBD), 4 leucine-rich repeats (LRRs), a nuclear transport factor 2 (NTF2)-like domain that allows heterodimerization with NTF2-related export protein-1 (NXT1), and a ubiquitin-associated domain that mediates interactions with nucleoporins. Nuclear RNA export factor 1 exports poly(A)+RNA from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.

Specificity

Anti-NXF1 polyclonal antibody reacts with bovine, canine, human, mouse, and rat nuclear RNA export factor 1 proteins.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human NXF1

Application

Anti-NXF1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag nuclear RNA export factor 1 protein for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of nuclear RNA export factor 1 in polyA-RNA nuclear export.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NXF1 is one member of a family of nuclear RNA export factor. Common domain features of this family are a noncanonical RNP-type RNA-binding domain (RBD), 4 leucine-rich repeats (LRRs), a nuclear transport factor 2 (NTF2)-like domain that allows heterodimerization with NTF2-related export protein-1 (NXT1), and a ubiquitin-associated domain that mediates interactions with nucleoporins. The LRRs and NTF2-like domains are required for export activity. NXF1 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and binds in vivo to poly(A)+ RNA. NXF1 overcomes the mRNA export block caused by the presence of saturating amounts of CTE (constitutive transport element) RNA of type D retroviruses.This gene is one member of a family of nuclear RNA export factor genes.

The LRRs and NTF2-like domains are required for export activity. Alternative splicing seems to be a common mechanism in this gene family. The encoded protein of this gene shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and binds in vivo to poly(A)+ RNA. It is the vertebrate homologue of the yeast protein Mex67p. The encoded protein overcomes the mRNA export block caused by the presence of saturating amounts of CTE (constitutive transport element) RNA of type D retroviruses.
