Cullin 2 (CT) (CUL-2)
Description:
In yeast, proteolysis of G1 cell cycle regulatory proteins is controlled by a ubiquitin ligase formed by three subunits: Cdc53 (also known as CulA), Skp1 and one of many F-box proteins. A family of human cullin genes homologous to the S. cerevisiae cdc53 gene has been identi ed (cul1, 2, 3, 4a, 4b, and 5) . It was then shown that Cul1 forms a complex with human Skp1 and the F box protein Skp2. In contrast, Cul2 does not associate with Skp1 and Skp2. Instead it forms a complex with an inactive transcriptional elongation complex, SIII, formed by three subunits: Elongin C, Elongin B and VHL. The meaning of this association is still unknown. Intriguingly, Elongin C shows homology with Skp1 and Elongin B with ubiquitin. In addition, in its active form, SIII contains, instead of VHL, an F box protein: Elongin A.

Applications:
Suitable for use in ELISA and Western Blot. Other applications not tested.

Recommended Dilution:
ELISA: 1:2,000-1:10,000
Western Blot: 1:500-1:1,000
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.

Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4°C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot and store at -20°C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20°C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
