Rabbit Anti-NC2 alpha/FITC Conjugated antibody
background:
Transcriptional repression is a general mechanism for regulating transcriptional initiation in organisms ranging from yeast to humans. Accurate initiation of transcription from eukaryotic protein-encoding genes requires the assembly of a large multiprotein complex consisting of RNA polymerase II and general transcription factors such as TFIIA, TFIIB, and TFIID. DR1 is a repressor that interacts with the TATA-binding protein (TBP) of TFIID and prevents the formation of an active transcription complex by precluding the entry of TFIIA and/or TFIIB into the preinitiation complex. The protein encoded by this gene is a corepressor of transcription that interacts with DR1 to enhance DR1-mediated repression. The interaction between this corepressor and DR1 is required for corepressor function and appears to stabilize the TBP-DR1-DNA complex. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Function:
The association of the DR1/DRAP1 heterodimer with TBP results in a functional repression of both activated and basal transcription of class II genes. This interaction precludes the formation of a transcription-competent complex by inhibiting the association of TFIIA and/or TFIIB with TBP. Can bind to DNA on its own. Ref.
Subunit:
Heterodimer with DR1. Binds BTAF1.
Subcellular Location:
Nucleus
Tissue Specificity:
Ubiquitous. Highly expressed in adult testis, heart, skeletal muscle, pancreas and brain, and in fetal brain, liver and kidney.
Post-translational modifications:
Phosphorylation reduces DNA binding, but has no effect on heterodimerization and TBP binding.
Similarity:
Belongs to the NC2 alpha/DRAP1 family.
Contains 1 histone-fold domain.
