However, migration is also affected by other factors and so the actual band size observed may differ from that predicted. Common factors include... · post-translational modification - e.g. phosphorylation, glycosylation etc which increases the size of the protein · post-translation cleavage - e.g. many proteins are synthesized as pro-proteins, and then cleaved to give the active form, e.g. pro-caspases · splice variants - alternative splicing may create different sized proteins from the same gene · relative charge - the composition of amino acids (charged vs non-charged) multimers - e.g. dimerisation of a protein. This is usually prevented in reducing conditions, although strong interactions can result in the appearance of higher bands.)
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The product of this gene is a member of the OTU (ovarian tumor) superfamily of predicted cysteine proteases. The encoded protein is a highly specific ubiquitin iso-peptidase, and cleaves ubiquitin from branched poly-ubiquitin chains but not from ubiquitinated substrates. It interacts with another ubiquitin protease and an E3 ubiquitin ligase that inhibits cytokine gene transcription in the immune system. It is proposed to function in specific ubiquitin-dependent pathways, possibly by providing an editing function for polyubiquitin chain growth. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008]
Uniprot Description
OTUB1: a protease that can remove conjugated ubiquitin from proteins in vitro and may therefore play an important regulatory role at the level of protein turnover by preventing degradation. Regulator of T-cell anergy, a phenomenon that occur when T-cell are rendered unresponsive to antigen rechallenge and no longer respond to their cognate antigen. Acts via its interaction with RNF128/GRAIL, a crucial inductor of CD4 T-cell anergy. Two alternatively spliced isoforms are known.
