Cullin-4 (Cul4) proteins are the core components of ubiquitin E3 ligases. Mammalian cells express two distinct but highly homologous cullin-4 proteins, cullin-4A and cullin-4B.
Cullin-4A is a protein encoded by CUL4A gene in humans.
Application
Anti-Cullin-4A antibody produced in rabbit is used for Immunofluorescence at a concentration of 10-20mg/mL using HeLa cells and is also used for western blotting at a concentration of 1-2μg/mL using HEK-293T cells expressing human Cullin-4A.
Biochem/physiol Actions
Cullin-4 (Cul4) proteins are components of ubiquitin E3 ligases that regulate cell cycle, genome stability, DNA replication and transcription. CUL4-based E3 ligase plays an important role for the repression of photomorphogenesis in plants (like Arabidopsis thaliana).
Cullin-4A (Cul4A) is involved in identifying specific targets for ubiquitylation. The Cul4A gene is known to be amplified and up-regulated in breast carcinoma and many other tumor types. Cul4A associates with damage-specific DNA binding proteins (DDB1 and DDB2). It functions as substrate recruiting factors for Cul4A-Roc1 ligases. Cul4A is known to ubiquitylate several target proteins including DDB1/DDB2, CDT1 (chromatin licensing and dna replication factor 1), DNA repair protein complementing XP-C cells (XPC), histone H2A, H3 and H4. In response to DNA damage Cul4A complex regulates protein stability of p53 and mouse double minute 2 homolog (MDM2)/ human double minute 2 homolog (HDM2).

Repression of photomorphogenesis in Arabidopsis thaliana requires activity of the COP9 signalosome (CSN), CDD, and COP1 complexes, but how these three complexes work in concert to accomplish this important developmental switch has remained unknown. Here, we demonstrate that Arabidopsis CULLIN4
The gene cul-1 (formerly lin-19) is a negative regulator of the cell cycle in C. elegans. Null mutations cause hyperplasia of all tissues. cul-1 is required for developmentally programmed transitions from the G1 phase of the cell cycle to the
The CUL4 (cullin 4) proteins are the core components of a new class of ubiquitin E3 ligases that regulate replication and transcription. To examine the roles of CUL4 in cell cycle regulation, we analyzed the effect of inactivation of CUL4
