FMR1 (Drosophila) Antibody- Mouse (monoclonal) Anti-FMR1
Fragile X syndrome is the most common inherited form of mental retardation It is caused by loss of FMR1 gene activity due to either lack of expression or expression of a mutant form of the protein In mammals FMR1 is a member of a small protein family that consists of FMR1 FXR1 and FXR2 All three members bind RNA and contain sequence motifs that are commonly found in RNA-binding proteins including two KH domains and an RGG boxThe Drosophila genome contains a single gene homologous to the FXR family dFMR1 is subjected to transcriptional and posttranscriptional regulation during development and it homomerizes like its human counterpart dFMR1 profile of expression recapitulates that of the human FXR protein family it is highly enriched in muscles in central nervous system and in gonads In the larval brain anti-dFMR1 also recognizes mushroom bodies a centre that mediates learning and memory These features make the fly an ideal system to analyse the role of the FXR family and to identify genes in the FMRP pathway

RNA polymerase II CTD Antibody- Mouse Anti-RNA polymerase II CTD
RNA polymerase II carboxy-terminal domain (CTD) interacts with a large multisubunit complex that contains TATA-binding protein (TBP) and is an integral part of the transcription initiation complex Phosphorylation of RNA polymerase IIs largest subunit C-terminal domain (CTD) is a key event during mRNA metabolism Numerous enzymes including cell cycle-dependent kinases and TFIIF-dependent phosphatases target the CTD
