Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

THOC4/ALY Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total THOC4/ALY protein.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ala245 of human THOC4/ALY protein. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from various cell lines using THOC4/ALY Antibody.

Background

mRNA export is a process that is tightly coupled to mRNA splicing (1-4). Splicing of mRNAs and the packaging of mRNAs in the form of mRNA-protein complex (mRNP) leads to the recruitment of the mRNA export adaptor THOC4/ALY via its interaction with the splicing factor UAP56, forming a large complex termed transcription-export complex (TREX) (1,2,5). THOC4/ALY then directly interacts with NXF1/TAP, a part of the heterodimer that targets the mRNP to the nuclear pore complex, resulting in the shuttling of mRNP out of the nucleus to the cytoplasm (1-3,6).
