Scientific Background: Methylosome protein 50 (MEP50) is a component of methylosome that contains the methyltransferase JBP1 (PRMT5) and the pICln protein. The methylosome functions to modify specific arginines to dimethylarginines in the arginine- and glycine-rich domains of several spliceosomal Sm proteins. Within the methylosome, MEP50 binds protein substrates and activates the oncogenic protein arginine methyl transferase 5 (PRMT5).
NCBI and Uniprot Product Information
NCBI Description
The protein encoded by this gene is an androgen receptor coactivator that forms a complex with protein arginine methyltransferase 5, which modifies specific arginines to dimethylarginines in several spliceosomal Sm proteins. The encoded protein may be involved in the early stages of prostate cancer, with most of the protein being nuclear-localized in benign cells but cytoplasmic in cancer cells. Several transcript variants encoding different isoforms have been found for this gene. [provided by RefSeq, Nov 2015]
Uniprot Description
WDR77: a WD40 repeat protein. Component of the methylosome, a 20S complex containing at least ICLN, SKB1 and WDR77. Interacts with SKB1 and with SM proteins. The methylosome may regulate an early step in the assembly of U snRNPs, possibly the transfer of Sm proteins to the SMN-complex. WD40 repeats are found in a number of eukaryotic proteins that coordinate multi-protein complex assemblies. WD40 proteins are implicated in many functions including adaptor/regulatory modules in signal transduction, pre-mRNA processing and cytoskeleton assembly.
Protein type: Adaptor/scaffold; Nuclear receptor co-regulator; Transcription, coactivator/corepressor
Chromosomal Location of Human Ortholog: 1p13.2
Cellular Component: cytoplasm; cytosol; Golgi apparatus; nucleoplasm; nucleus
Molecular Function: ligand-dependent nuclear receptor transcription coactivator activity; methyl-CpG binding; protein binding; protein-arginine N-methyltransferase activity

Product Notes
The MEP50 wdr77 (Catalog #AAA515709) is a Recombinant Protein produced from Sf9 insect cells using baculovirus and is intended for research purposes only. The product is available for immediate purchase. AAA Biotech's MEP50 can be used in a range of immunoassay formats including, but not limited to, Enzyme Assay, Western Blot (WB). Researchers should empirically determine the suitability of the MEP50 wdr77 for an application not listed in the data sheet. Researchers commonly develop new applications and it is an integral, important part of the investigative research process. It is sometimes possible for the material contained within the vial of "MEP50, Recombinant Protein" to become dispersed throughout the inside of the vial, particularly around the seal of said vial, during shipment and storage. We always suggest centrifuging these vials to consolidate all of the liquid away from the lid and to the bottom of the vial prior to opening. Please be advised that certain products may require dry ice for shipping and that, if this is the case, an additional dry ice fee may also be required.Precautions
