Product Specs

Introduction
Heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoprotein A1 (HNRNPA1), a member of the ubiquitously expressed hnRNP A/B subfamily, plays a crucial role in RNA metabolism. It participates in pre-mRNA packaging, nuclear export of mature mRNA, and potentially splice site regulation. HNRNPA1 is implicated in HCV RNA replication and may be essential for myometrial protein changes during labor. This protein exhibits unique RNA-binding properties due to its two quasi-RRM domains. As a major hnRNP complex component, HNRNPA1 is primarily located in the nucleoplasm. It shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm, likely bound to mRNA, facilitated by its M9 domain, which acts as both a nuclear localization and export signal.
Description
Recombinant human HNRNPA1, expressed in E. coli, is a non-glycosylated polypeptide chain comprising 343 amino acids (1-320 a.a.) with a 36.6 kDa molecular weight. A 23-amino acid His-tag is fused to the N-terminus. Purification is achieved using proprietary chromatographic methods.
Physical Appearance
A clear solution that has been sterilized by filtration.
Formulation
This solution contains 0.5 mg/ml of HNRNPA1 protein in a buffer consisting of 20 mM Tris-HCl (pH 8.0), 40% glycerol, 0.15 M NaCl, and 1 mM DTT.
Stability
For short-term storage (up to 4 weeks), the solution should be kept at 4°C. For longer storage, it's recommended to freeze the solution at -20°C. To ensure stability during long-term storage, consider adding a carrier protein (0.1% HSA or BSA). Repeated freezing and thawing should be avoided.
Purity
The purity of this product exceeds 85.0% as determined by SDS-PAGE analysis.

Product Science Overview

Introduction

Heterogeneous Nuclear Ribonucleoprotein A1 (hnRNP A1) is a protein encoded by the HNRNPA1 gene in humans. It is a member of the A/B subfamily of ubiquitously expressed heterogeneous nuclear ribonucleoproteins (hnRNPs), which are RNA-binding proteins that associate with pre-mRNAs in the nucleus .

Structure and Function

hnRNP A1 is one of the most abundant core proteins of hnRNP complexes and plays a crucial role in the regulation of alternative splicing. It has two quasi-RRM domains that bind to RNAs in the N-terminal domain, which are pivotal for RNA specificity and binding. Additionally, it contains a glycine-rich arginine-glycine-glycine (RGG) region known as the RGG box, which enables protein and RNA binding .

The protein is involved in several critical functions:

  • Packaging of pre-mRNA into hnRNP particles: This is essential for the proper processing and maturation of mRNA.
  • Transport of poly(A) mRNA from the nucleus to the cytoplasm: hnRNP A1 is exported from the nucleus, likely bound to mRNA, and is immediately re-imported.
  • Modulation of splice site selection: It influences the selection of splice sites during the processing of pre-mRNA .
Post-Translational Modifications

Post-translational modifications, such as methylation of arginine residues in the RGG box, are known to affect hnRNP A1’s function. These modifications can regulate RNA-binding activity and other aspects of the protein’s function .

Clinical Significance

Mutations in the HNRNPA1 gene have been linked to several diseases, including:

  • Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis (ALS): Mutations in hnRNP A1 are causative of ALS, a progressive neurodegenerative disease.
  • Multisystem Proteinopathy: This syndrome includes a range of disorders affecting multiple systems in the body .
Recombinant hnRNP A1

Recombinant hnRNP A1 is produced using recombinant DNA technology, which involves inserting the HNRNPA1 gene into an expression system to produce the protein in a laboratory setting. This recombinant protein is used in various research applications to study its function and role in gene expression and disease .
