Western blot analysis of extracts from 293T cells, transfected with 100 nM SignalSilence® Control siRNA (Unconjugated) #6568 (-) or SignalSilence® APC11 siRNA I (+), using APC11 (D1E7Q) Rabbit mAb #14090 (upper) and GAPDH (D16H11) XP® Rabbit mAb #5174 (lower). The APC11 (D1E7Q) Rabbit mAb confirms silencing of APC11, while the GAPDH (D16H11) XP® Rabbit mAb is used as a loading control.

Product Usage Information

CST recommends transfection with 100 nM SignalSilence® APC11 siRNA I 48 to 72 hours prior to cell lysis. For transfection procedure, follow protocol provided by the transfection reagent manufacturer. Please feel free to contact CST with any questions on use.

Each vial contains the equivalent of 100 transfections, which corresponds to a final siRNA concentration of 100 nM per transfection in a 24-well plate with a total volume of 300 μl per well.

Storage

APC11 siRNA is supplied in RNAse-free water. Aliquot and store at -20ºC.

Product Description

SignalSilence® APC11 siRNA I from Cell Signaling Technology (CST) allows the researcher to specifically inhibit APC11 expression using RNA interference, a method whereby gene expression can be selectively silenced through the delivery of double stranded RNA molecules into the cell. All SignalSilence® siRNA products from CST are rigorously tested in-house and have been shown to reduce target protein expression by western analysis.

Quality Control

Oligonucleotide synthesis is monitored base by base through trityl analysis to ensure appropriate coupling efficiency. The oligo is subsequently purified by affinity-solid phase extraction. The annealed RNA duplex is further analyzed by mass spectrometry to verify the exact composition of the duplex. Each lot is compared to the previous lot by mass spectrometry to ensure maximum lot-to-lot consistency.

Background

Eukaryotic cell proliferation depends strictly upon the E3 ubiquitin ligase activity of the anaphase promoting complex/cyclosome (APC/C), whose main function is to trigger the transition of the cell cycle from metaphase to anaphase. The APC/C complex promotes the assembly of polyubiquitin chains on substrate proteins in order to target these proteins for degradation by the 26S proteasome (1,2). The vertebrate APC/C complex consists of as many as 15 subunits, including multiple scaffold proteins, two catalytic subunits (APC2, APC11), and a number of proteins responsible for substrate recognition (3). All E3 enzymes, including APC/C, utilize ubiquitin residues activated by E1 enzymes and transferred to E2 enzymes. Research studies indicate that APC/C interacts with the E2 enzymes UBE2S and UBE2C via the RING-finger domain-containing subunit APC11 (4-6). APC/C function relies on multiple cofactors, including an APC/C coactivator formed by the cell division control protein 20 homolog (CDC20) and Cdh1/FZR1. The CDC20/Cdh1 coactivator is responsible for recognition of APC/C substrates through interaction with specific D-box and KEN-box recognition elements within these substrates (7-9).
Anaphase-promoting complex subunit 11 (APC11) harbors a RING-H2 motif, which is characterized by a series of non-tandem His and Cys residues responsible for the coordination of zinc cations. At the primary amino acid level, APC11 displays sequence similarity to RING-box proteins RBX1 and RBX2, which are the RING-H2 motif-containing subunits of SCF ubiquitin ligase complexes (10). A heterodimer complex containing APC11 and the cullin-like subunit, APC2, forms the catalytic core of the APC/C and is critical for the APC/C to catalyze ubiquitin chain elongation (4,11).
