Anti-hHR23A antibody [1E4D6]

Target data

Multifunctional protein that participates in histone H4K20 demethylation, DNA repair, ubiquitin-dependent protein degradation, transcriptional regulation, and viral replication (PubMed : 12643283, PubMed : 14621999, PubMed : 15321727, PubMed : 20614012, PubMed : 32209475, PubMed : 9372924). Specifically demethylates mono-, di- and trimethylated 'Lys-20' of histone H4 (H4K20me1, H4K20me2, H4K20me3, respectively) into unmethylated forms. Activates the transcription of coding genes by demethylating H4K20me1 and the transcription of repetitive elements by demethylating H4K20me3 (PubMed : 32209475). Involved in modulation of proteasomal degradation. Binds to 'Lys-48'-linked polyubiquitin chains in a length-dependent manner and with a lower affinity to 'Lys-63'-linked polyubiquitin chains. Proposed to be capable to bind simultaneously to the 26S proteasome and to polyubiquitinated substrates and to deliver ubiquitinated proteins to the proteasome (PubMed : 12643283, PubMed : 14621999, PubMed : 15321727). Involved in nucleotide excision repair, is considered functionally equivalent to RAD23B in global genome nucleotide excision repair (GG-NER) through its association with XPC. In vitro, the XPC-RAD23A complex demonstrates NER activity (PubMed : 9372924). Can stabilize XPC (By similarity).. (Microbial infection) Involved in -dependent replication of HIV-1 in non-proliferating cells and primary macrophages. Required for the association of HIV-1 Vpr with the host proteasome.
