Lamin B1 Antibody- Mouse Anti-Lamin B1
An important part of the nucleus is formed by nuclear lamina Nuclear lamins form a network of filaments at the nucleoplasmic site of the nuclear membrane Two main subtypes of nuclear lamins can be distinguished ie A type lamins and B type lamins The A type lamins comprise a set of three proteins arising from the same gene by alternative splicing ie lamin A lamin C and lamin Adel10 while the B-type lamins include two proteins arising from two distinct genes ie lamin B1 and lamin B2 The nuclear lamins comprise a unique subclass of the intermediate filament protein family They share a molecular domain organisation with the other intermediate filament proteins in that they are fibrous molecules that have an aminoterminal globular head a central rod of alpha helices and a carboxy terminal globular domain Many biochemical and molecular features of lamins have been studied but their functions remain still largely undetermined One of the functions ascribed to the lamina is the maintenance of the structural integrity of the nucleus Besides interactions with the nuclear membrane and other intermediate filaments lamins interact with the nuclear chromatin Eukaryotic chromatin is organised into loops which are attached to the nuclear matrix This organisation is thought to contribute to compaction of the chromatin and regulation of gene expression Lamins as part of the nuclear matrix may be involved in these processes since chromatin binding sites have been detected in both A and B type lamins

PABP Antibody- Mouse Anti-PABP
The poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) which is found complexed to the 3-prime poly(A) tail of eukaryotic mRNA is required for poly(A) shortening and translation initiation Grange et al (1987) isolated a melanoma cell cDNA encoding human PABP The predicted 633-amino acid protein contains 4 repeats of an approximately 80-amino acid unit in its N-terminal half The authors found that this repeat region is highly conserved between human and yeast PABP and is sufficient for poly(A) binding In vitro translation of the human PABP cDNA yielded a protein with an apparent molecular mass of 73 kD by SDS-PAGE Northern blot analysis indicated that PABP is expressed as a 29-kb mRNA in human melanoma cells Gorlach et al (1994) noted that each of the 4 repeats of PABP is a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) consensus sequence RNA-binding domain They determined that PABP has a pI of approximately 103 and is a very abundant stable protein Immunofluorescence studies of mammalian cells indicated that PABP is located exclusively in the cytoplasm However using both indirect immunofluorescence and tagging of PABP1 by fusion to the green fluorescent protein (GFP) Afonina et al (1998) demonstrated that PABP1 shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm PABP1 accumulated in the nucleus when transcription was inhibited suggesting that active transcription is required for nuclear export of PABP1
