Description

General description

Nuclear RNA export factor 1 (NXF1, TAP) is a nuclear RNA exporter protein that contains a noncanonical RNP-type RNA binding domain (RBD), 4 leucine-rich repeats (LRRs), a nuclear transport factor 2 (NTF2)-like domain that allows heterodimerization with NTF2-related export protein-1 (NXT1), and a ubiquitin-associated domain that mediates interactions with nucleoporins. Nuclear RNA export factor 1 exports poly(A)+RNA from the nucleus into the cytoplasm.

Specificity

Anti-NXF1 polyclonal antibody reacts with canine, mouse, rat, human, and bovine nuclear RNA export factor 1 proteins.

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide directed towards the N terminal region of human NXF1

Application

Anti-NXF1 polyclonal antibody is used to tag nuclear RNA export factor 1 protein for detection and quantitation by Western blotting and in plasma by immunohistochemical (IHC) techniques. It is used as a probe to determine the roles of nuclear RNA export factor 1 in polyA-RNA nuclear export.

Biochem/physiol Actions

NXF1 is one member of a family of nuclear RNA export factor. Common domain features of this family are a noncanonical RNP-type RNA-binding domain (RBD), 4 leucine-rich repeats (LRRs), a nuclear transport factor 2 (NTF2)-like domain that allows heterodimerization with NTF2-related export protein-1 (NXT1), and a ubiquitin-associated domain that mediates interactions with nucleoporins. The LRRs and NTF2-like domains are required for export activity. NXF1 shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and binds in vivo to poly(A)+ RNA. NXF1 overcomes the mRNA export block caused by the presence of saturating amounts of CTE (constitutive transport element) RNA of type D retroviruses.This gene is one member of a family of nuclear RNA export factor genes.

The LRRs and NTF2-like domains are required for export activity. Alternative splicing seems to be a common mechanism in this gene family. The encoded protein of this gene shuttles between the nucleus and the cytoplasm and binds in vivo to poly(A)+ RNA. It is the vertebrate homologue of the yeast protein Mex67p.
