RPT5 antibody, rabbit polyclonal
Background
Encodes RPT5a (Regulatory Particle 5a), one of the six AAA-ATPases of the proteasome regulatory particle.
Essential for gametophyte development. In Arabidopsis, the RPT5 subunit is encoded by two highly homologous
genes, RPT5a and RPT5b. RPT5a and RPT5b show accession-dependent functional redundancy. In Wassilewskija
(Ws) accession: mutant alleles of RPT5a displayed 50% pollen lethality, indicating that RPT5a is essential for
male gametophyte development. In the Columbia (Col) accession, a rpt5a mutant allele did not display such a
phenotype because the RPT5b Col allele complements the rpt5a defect in the male gametophyte, whereas the
RPT5b Ws allele does not. Double rpt5a rpt5b mutants in Col background showed a complete male and female
gametophyte lethal phenotype. The mRNA is cell-to-cell mobile.
Other names: ATS6A.2, REGULATORY PARTICLE TRIPLE-A ATPASE 5A, RPT5A.
Immunogen: Rabbit polyclonal antibodies were produced by immunizing animals with a GST-fusion protein
containing the C-terminal region of Arabidopsis thaliana RPT5A (AT3G05530). Antibodies were purified by
affinity purification using immunogen.
