Rabbit Anti-FUSIP1/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
FUSIP1 is a member of the Serine/Arginine (SR) family of splicing factors. Members of the SR family all contain one or more RNA recognition motifs (RRM) and an SR-rich domain. SR factors are not only essential for constitutive splicing but also regulate splicing in a concentration-dependent manner by influencing the selection of alternative splice sites. Expressed in a variety of tissues with low expression in kidney, liver and heart, FUSIP1 localizes to the cytoplasm and nuclear speckles. In its dephosphorylated form (occurring during M phase of the cell cycle), FUSIP1 functions as a potent general repressor of pre-mRNA splicing and can interact with U1 SnRNP 70. In its phosphorylated form, FUSIP1 interacts with Tra-2∫ and, together, they may cooperate in the regulation of splicing. Four isoforms exist for FUSIP1. In neurons, FUSIP1 isoforms may act to either positively or negatively regulate alternative splicing.
Function:
Splicing factor that in its dephosphorylated form acts as a general repressor of pre-mRNA splicing. Seems to interfere with the U1 snRNP 5'-splice recognition of SNRNP70. Required for splicing repression in M-phase cells and after heat shock. May be involved in regulation of alternative splicing in neurons, with isoform 1 acting as a positive and isoform 3 as a negative regulator.
Subunit:
The phosphorylated but not the dephosphorylated form interacts with TRA2B/SFRS10. The dephosphorylated form interacts with SNRNP70. Isoform 1 and isoform 3 interact with FUS SLCterminus.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus speckle. Cytoplasm.
Tissue Specificity:
Widely expressed.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylated. Fully dephosphorylated in mitosis and partially dephosphorylated on heat shock.
Isoform 3 is phosphorylated on Ser-168.
Similarity:
Belongs to the splicing factor SR family.
Contains 1 RRM (RNA recognition motif) domain.
