RAD51-associated protein 1 (RAD51AP1), human, recombinant

Organism: Homo sapiens (Human). Source: Yeast. Expression Region: 1-352aa. Protein Length: Full Length. Tag Info: C-terminal 6xHis-tagged. Target Protein Sequence: MVRPVRHKKP VNYSQFDHSD SDDDFVSATV PLNKKSRTAP KELKQDKPKP NLNNLRKEEI PVQEKTPKKR LPEGTFSIPA SAVPCTKMAL DDKLYQRDLE VALALSVKEL PTVTTNVQNS QDKSIEKHGS SKIETMNKSP HISNCSVASD YLDLDKITVE DDVGGVQGKR KAASKAAAQQ RKILLEGSDG DSANDTEPDF APGEDSEDDS DFCESEDNDE DFSMRKSKVK EIKKKEVKVK SPVEKKEKKS KSKCNALVTS VDSAPAAVKS ESQSLPKKVS LSSDTTRKPL EIRSPSAESK KPKWVPPAAS GGSRSSSSPL VVVSVKSPNQ SLRLGLSRLA RVKPLHPNAT ST. Purity: Greater than 85% as determined by SDS-PAGE. Endotoxin: Not test. Biological Activity: n/a. Form: Liquid or Lyophilized powder. Buffer: If the delivery form is liquid, the default storage buffer is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 5%-50% glycerol. If the delivery form is lyophilized powder, the buffer before lyophilization is Tris/PBS-based buffer, 6% Trehalose, pH 8.0. Reconstitution: We recommend that this vial be briefly centrifuged prior to opening to bring the contents to the bottom. Please reconstitute protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL.We recommend to add 5-50% of glycerol (final concentration) and aliquot for long-term storage at -20 °C/-80 °C. Our default final concentration of glycerol is 50%. Customers could use it as reference. Storage: The shelf life is related to many factors, storage state, buffer ingredients, storage temperature and the stability of the protein itself. Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20 °C/-80 °C. Notes: Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4 °C for up to one week. Relevance: Structure-specific DNA-binding protein involved in DNA repair by promoting RAD51-mediated homologous recombination. Acts by stimulating D-Loop formation by RAD51: specifically enhances joint molecule formation through its structure-specific DNA interaction and its interaction with RAD51. Binds single-stranded DNA (ssDNA), double-stranded DNA (dsDNA) and secondary DNA structures, such as D-loop structures: has a strong preference for branched-DNA structures that are obligatory intermediates during joint molecule formation. Cooperates with WDR48/UAF1 to stimulate RAD51-mediated homologous recombination: both WDR48/UAF1 and RAD51AP1 have coordinated role in DNA-binding during homologous recombination and DNA repair. WDR48/UAF1 and RAD51AP1 also have a coordinated role in DNA-binding to promote USP1-mediated deubiquitination of FANCD2. Also involved in meiosis by promoting DMC1-mediated homologous meiotic recombination. Key mediator of alternative lengthening of telomeres (ALT) pathway, a homology-directed repair mechanism of telomere elongation that controls proliferation in aggressive cancers, by stimulating homologous recombination. May also bind RNA, additional evidences are however required to confirm RNA-binding in vivo. Reference: "Enhancement of RAD51 recombinase activity by the tumor suppressor PALB2."
