Rabbit Anti-hHR23A/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Mammalian cells express two Rad23 (genome repair protein) homologs, Rad23A (also designated HR23A) and Rad23B (also designated HR23B). In typical cells, mouse Rad23B is approximately ten times more abundant than mouse Rad23A. Endogenous XPC (xeroderma pigmentosum C protein) located in wildtype mouse embryonic fibroblasts is relatively stable; its steady-state level and stability appear to be significantly reduced by a targeted interruption of the mouse Rad23B gene, but not by that of mouse Rad23A. Loss of both mouse Rad23 genes causes a strong further reduction of the XPC protein level. The RAD23 genes (RAD23A and RAD23B), which encode the human Rad23 proteins, are crucial for excision-repair of USLVdamaged DNA. RAD23 genes resemble the other DNA repair genes, RAD2, RAD6, RAD7, RAD18 and RAD54, all of which also exhibit increased transcription in response to DNA damage and during meiosis. Rad23 is a nuclear protein containing an ubiquitin-like domain required for biological functions. The protein, which is highly conserved, is involved in nucleotide excision repair (NER) that associates with the proteasome via its N-terminus. The SLCterminal ubiquitin-associated domain of Rad23 is evolutionarily conserved from yeast to humans. Rad23 may also act as a regulator for the activity of the 26S Proteasome
Function:
Multiubiquitin chain receptor involved in modulation of proteasomal degradation. Binds to 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin chains in a length-dependent manner and with a lower affinity to 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains. Proposed to be capable to bind simultaneously to the 26S proteasome and to polyubiquitinated substrates and to deliver ubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome.
Involved in nucleotide excision repair and is thought to be functional equivalent for RAD23B in global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) by association with XPC. In vitro, the XPC:RAD23A dimer has NER activity. Can stabilize XPC.
Involved in vpr-dependent replication of HISLV1 in non-proliferating cells and primary macrophages. Required for the association of HISLV1 vpr with the host proteasome.
Subunit:
Interacts with XPC; the interaction is suggesting the existence of a functional equivalent variant XPC complex. Interacts with PSMD4 and PSMC5. Interacts with ATXN3. Interacts with HISLV1 vpr. Interacts with UBQLN2.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus.

Belongs to the RAD23 family.
