Anti-HUCE1 RRP8 Antibody

Essential component of the eNoSC (energy-dependent nucleolar silencing) complex, a complex that mediates silencing of rDNA in response to intracellular energy status and acts by recruiting histone-modifying enzymes. The eNoSC complex is able to sense the energy status of cell: upon glucose starvation, elevation of NAD+/NADP+ ratio activates SIRT1, leading to histone H3 deacetylation followed by dimethylation of H3 at 'Lys-9' (H3K9me2) by SUV39H1 and the formation of silent chromatin in the rDNA locus. In the complex, RRP8 binds to H3K9me2 and probably acts as a methyltransferase. Its substrates are however unknown.<br><br>Yazaki M., Submitted (AUG-1996) to the EMBL/GenBank/DDBJ databases.<br>Ishikawa K., DNA Res. 4:307-313(1997).<br>The MGC Project Team; Genome Res. 14:2121-2127(2004).

The eNoSC complex is able to sense the energy status of cell: upon glucose starvation, elevation of NAD (+) /NADP (+) ratio activates SIRT1, leading to histone H3 deacetylation followed by dimethylation of H3 at 'Lys- 9' (H3K9me2) by SUV39H1 and the formation of silent chromatin in the rDNA locus. In the complex, RRP8 binds to H3K9me2 and probably acts as a methyltransferase. Its substrates are however unknown. .
