  • Function
    May be the important intermediate by which p53/TP53 mediates its role as an inhibitor of cellular proliferation in response to DNA damage. Binds to and inhibits cyclin-dependent kinase activity, preventing phosphorylation of critical cyclin-dependent kinase substrates and blocking cell cycle progression. Functions in the nuclear localization and assembly of cyclin D-CDK4 complex and promotes its kinase activity towards RB1. At higher stoichiometric ratios, inhibits the kinase activity of the cyclin D-CDK4 complex.
  • Tissue specificity
    Expressed in all adult human tissues, with 5-fold lower levels observed in the brain.
  • Sequence similarities
    Belongs to the CDI family.
  • Domain
    The PIP-box K+4 motif mediates both the interaction with PCNA and the recuitment of the DCX(DTL) complex: while the PIP-box interacts with PCNA, the presence of the K+4 submotif, recruits the DCX(DTL) complex, leading to its ubiquitination.
    The C-terminal is required for nuclear localization of the cyclin D-CDK4 complex.
  • Post-translational
    modifications
    Phosphorylation of Thr-145 by Akt or of Ser-146 by PKC impairs binding to PCNA. Phosphorylation at Ser-114 by GSK3-beta enhances ubiquitination by the DCX(DTL) complex.
    Ubiquitinated by MKRN1; leading to polyubiquitination and 26S proteasome-dependent degradation. Ubiquitinated by the DCX(DTL) complex, also named CRL4(CDT2) complex, leading to its degradation during S phase or following UV irradiation. Ubiquitination by the DCX(DTL) complex is essential to control replication licensing and is PCNA-dependent: interacts with PCNA via its PIP-box, while the presence of the containing the 'K+4' motif in the PIP box, recruit the DCX(DTL) complex, leading to its degradation.

Question

We are interested in your recombinant p21. We have a couple questions on it: 1) what is the isoelectric point of p21 protein? 2) do you have service to modify a fluorescence label onto the protein (like 488)?

Answer

Thank you for contacting Abcam regarding ab56278.


Regarding this p21 protein, the isoelectric point has not been determined. Currently we do not have a service for custom conjugation of proteins, however, we do sell simple 3 step kits that can be used to conjugate the protein yourself.


I would like to recommend the FITC EasyLink Conjugation kit, ab102885 along with the Purification kit ab102784 to clean up the protein buffer.


I hope this information is helpful. Please do not hesitate to contact me if you have any additional questions.

Question

Hello,
Can you please tell me what the tag is and if it can be cleaved as p21 should be 21 kDa and not 47kDa.
Thank you

Answer

Thanks again for your email and for your patience.

I've heard back from my colleagues in the lab, and the GST tag can be cleaved using a thrombin digestion protocol. We don't have a suggested digestion protocol, but there are many available online such as-

I hope this information will be useful, but please let me know if there is anything else that we can do for you and I'll be happy to help.

Answer

Thank you for contacting us with your question about ab56278.

This p21 proteincontains an N-terminal GST tag. Ihave contactedthe production labto requestmore information about a protocol to remove the GST, and I'll get back to you as soon as I have this information.

Please let me know if you have any other questions in the meantime or if there is anything else that we can do for you.
