NSMCE1 polyclonal antibody

RING-type zinc finger-containing E3 ubiquitin ligase that assembles with melanoma antigen protein (MAGE to catalyze the direct transfer of ubiquitin from E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme to a specific substrate. Within MAGE-RING ubiquitin ligase complex, MAGE stimulates and specifies ubiquitin ligase activity likely through recruitment and/or stabilization of the E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme at the E3:substrate complex. Involved in maintenance of genome integrity, DNA damage response and DNA repair. NSMCE3/MAGEG1 and NSMCE1 ubiquitin ligase are components of SMC5-SMC6 complex and may positively regulate homologous recombination-mediated DNA repair. MAGEF1-NSMCE1 ubiquitin ligase promotes proteasomal degradation of MMS19, a key component of the cytosolic iron-sulfur protein assembly (CIA machinery. Down-regulation of MMS19 impairs the activity of several DNA repair and metabolism enzymes such as ERCC2/XPD, FANCJ, RTEL1 and POLD1 that require iron-sulfur clusters as cofactors.

The antibody was affinity-purified from rabbit antiserum by affinity-chromatography using epitope-specific immunogen and the purity is > 95% (by SDS-PAGE) .
