Rabbit MX1 Polyclonal Antibody | anti-MX1 antibody
MX1 Antibody
Phosphate buffered saline, pH 7.4, 150mM NaCl, 0.02% sodium azide and 50% glycerol.
IHC: 1:50-1:200
Western Blot (WB)
(Western blot analysis of extracts of mouse spleen tissue, using MX1 antibody. The lane on the left is treated with the antigen-specific peptide.)
Immunohistochemistry (IHC)
(MBS9607268 at 1/100 staining Human lung tissue by IHC-P. The sample was formaldehyde fixed and a heat mediated antigen retrieval step in citrate buffer was performed. The sample was then blocked and incubated with the antibody for 1.5 hours at 22 degree C. An HRP conjugated goat anti-rabbit antibody was used as the secondary.)
Function: Interferon-induced dynamin-like GTPase with antiviral activity against a wide range of RNA viruses and some DNA viruses. Its target viruses include negative-stranded RNA viruses and HBV through binding and inactivation of their ribonucleocapsid. May also antagonize reoviridae and asfarviridae replication. Inhibits thogoto virus (THOV) replication by preventing the nuclear import of viral nucleocapsids. Inhibits La Crosse virus (LACV) replication by sequestering viral nucleoprotein in perinuclear complexes, preventing genome amplification, budding, and egress. Inhibits influenza A virus (IAV) replication by decreasing or delaying NP synthesis and by blocking endocytic traffic of incoming virus particles. Enhances ER stress-mediated cell death after influenza virus infection. May regulate the calcium channel activity of TRPCs.
Subunit Structure: Homotetramer. Oligomerizes into multimeric filamentous or ring-like structures by virtue of its stalk domain. Oligomerization is critical for GTPase activity, protein stability, and recognition of viral target structures. Interacts with TRPC1, TRPC3, TRPC4, TRPC5, TRPC6 and TRPC7. Interacts with HSPA5. Interacts with DDX39A and DDX39B. Interacts with TUBB/TUBB5 (By similarity). The GTP-bound form interacts (via C-terminus) with THOV P5 protein. The GTP-bound form interacts with LACV protein N. Interacts with CCHFV protein N.
Post-translational Modifications: ISGylated.
Similarity: The C-terminal GTPase effector domain (GED) is involved in oligomerization and viral target recognition.The middle domain mediates self-assembly and oligomerization. Belongs to the TRAFAC class dynamin-like GTPase superfamily. Dynamin/Fzo/YdjA family.

NCBI Description
This gene encodes a guanosine triphosphate (GTP)-metabolizing protein that participates in the cellular antiviral response. The encoded protein is induced by type I and type II interferons and antagonizes the replication process of several different RNA and DNA viruses. There is a related gene located adjacent to this gene on chromosome 21, and there are multiple pseudogenes located in a cluster on chromosome 4. Alternative splicing results in multiple transcript variants. [provided by RefSeq, Sep 2013]
