Mouse monoclonal antibody raised against a partial recombinant TNRC6C.
TNRC6C (Trinucleotide repeat containing 6C) is a member of GW182 (Gly-Trp) family consisting of a domain similar to Drosophila GW182 (also known as Gawky), a domain rich in GW or WG repeats followed by a glutamine (Q)-rich region at the N-proximal end, a central ubiquitin-associated (UBA) domain and an RNA-binding domain termed as RRM.
Immunogen
TNRC6C (NP_061869, 181 a.a. ~ 280 a.a) partial recombinant protein with GST tag. MW of the GST tag alone is 26 KDa.
Monoclonal Anti-TNRC6C antibody produced mouse is suitable for indirect ELISA.
Biochem/physiol Actions
TNRC6C (Trinucleotide repeat containing 6C) plays an important role in the microRNA repression during protein synthesis via miRNA pathway. The C-terminal RRM RNA-binding domain mediates the process of translational repression. Its GW-rich and Q-rich domain also suppress the expression for protein synthesis by binding to a reporter mRNA. In addition to translational repression, the members of the GW182 family, also participate in the deadenylation and decay of miRNA by interacting with argonaute proteins.
GW182 family proteins interact with Argonaute proteins and are required for the translational repression, deadenylation and decay of miRNA targets. To elicit these effects, GW182 proteins interact with poly(A)-binding protein (PABP) and the CCR4-NOT deadenylase complex. Although the mechanism of
Proteins of the GW182 family play an important role in the execution of microRNA repression in metazoa. They interact directly with Argonaute proteins, components of microRNPs, and also form part of P-bodies, structures implicated in translational repression and mRNA degradation.
