Anti-E3 SUMO-protein ligase PIAS1 PIAS1 Antibody Picoband®

E3 SUMO-protein ligase PIAS1  is an  enzyme  that in humans is encoded by the  PIAS1  gene.  It is mapped to 15q23.  This gene encodes a member of the mammalian PIAS [protein inhibitor of activated STAT-1 (signal transducer and activator of transcription-1) ] family.  This member contains a putative zinc-binding motif and a highly acidic region.  PIAS1  inhibited STAT1-mediated gene activation in response to interferon when expressed in mammalian cells.  It functions in testis as a nuclear receptor transcriptional coregulator and may have a role in AR initiation and maintenance of spermatogenesis.  On the other hand,   PIAS1 also can function as a SUMO ligase, or possibly as a tightly bound regulator of it, toward p53.

Functions as an E3-type small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) ligase, stabilizing the interaction between UBE2I and the substrate, and as a SUMO-tethering factor. Plays a crucial role as a transcriptional coregulation in various cellular pathways, including the STAT pathway, the p53 pathway and the steroid hormone signaling pathway. In vitro, binds A/T-rich DNA. The effects of this transcriptional coregulation, transactivation or silencing, may vary depending upon the biological context. Together with PRMT1, may repress STAT1 transcriptional activity, in the late phase of interferon gamma (IFN-gamma) signaling. Sumoylates PML (at'Lys-65' and 'Lys-160') and PML-RAR and promotes their ubiquitin-mediated degradation. PIAS1-mediated sumoylation of PML promotes its interaction with CSNK2A1/CK2 which in turn promotes PML phosphorylation and degradation (By similarity) . Enhances the sumoylation of MTA1 and may participate in its paralog-selective sumoylation. Plays a dynamic role in adipogenesis by promoting the SUMOylation and degradation of CEBPB (By similarity) . .
