    Protocol

    Specificity / Sensitivity

    PQBP1 (E5N7J) Rabbit Monoclonal Antibody recognizes endogenous levels of total PQBP1 protein. This antibody cross-reacts with a 50 kDa protein of unknown identity in mouse models by western blot. Mouse species reactivity is western blot only.

    Species Reactivity:

    Human, Mouse, Rat

    Source / Purification

    Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues near the carboxy terminus of human PQBP1 protein.

    Background

    Polyglutamine binding protein 1 (PQBP1) is an intrinsically disordered protein that is broadly expressed and evolutionarily conserved (1-3). PQBP1 has primarily been detected in the nucleus, though it has also been observed in the cytoplasm of mouse microglia (4,5). In the nucleus, PQBP1 is known to interact with mRNA splicing and RNA binding proteins, as well as the polyglutamine protein ataxin-1, and plays roles in both transcription and translation (4, 6-8). Mutations leading to loss of function of PQBP1 are associated with Golabi-Ito-Hall syndrome and Renpenning's syndrome, hallmarks of which include microcephaly and intellectual disability (9-11). Recently, PQBP1 has been reported to interact with tau protein, mediating activation of the cGAS-STING pathway in microglia (5). In the context of HIV-1 infection, PQBP1 also activates the cGAS-STING pathway by binding to reverse-transcribed HIV-1 DNA and cGAS, resulting in an innate immune response driven by IRF-3 (12).
