Recombinant Protein Production

Recombinant mouse Cd3eap is typically expressed in Escherichia coli for research applications. Commercial variants include:

Role in rRNA Transcription

  • Transcription Elongation: Cd3eap/RPA34 forms a heterodimer with RPA49 (PAF53 in humans) to enhance Pol I processivity. Deletion results in reduced rRNA production and defective ribosome biogenesis .

  • Nucleolar Structure:

    • In vivo studies show that Cd3eap knockout disrupts nucleolar morphology, increasing nucleolar volume by ~30% in yeast models .

    • Miller spread analyses reveal reduced Pol I clustering on rRNA genes in RPA34-deficient cells, impairing transcription efficiency .

Evolutionary Conservation

  • Functional complementation assays demonstrate cross-species compatibility:

    • Human CAST (Cd3eap orthologue) restores Pol I activity in S. cerevisiae when co-expressed with human PAF53 .

    • Schizosaccharomyces pombe Rpa34/Sp-Rpa49 rescues growth defects in yeast mutants, confirming conserved roles .

Antibody Validation

  • Polyclonal antibodies (e.g., Boster Bio A30649) recognize recombinant Cd3eap in WB (1:500–1:2000 dilution), IHC (1:100–1:300), and ELISA (1:40,000) .

  • Epitope mapping confirms reactivity to residues 441–490 of human CD3EAP, with cross-reactivity in mouse and rat .

Disease Relevance

  • Cancer: Cd3eap overexpression correlates with elevated rRNA synthesis in proliferating cells, a hallmark of malignancies .

  • Immunology: Isoform 2 participates in preformed T-cell receptor (TCR) complexes, hinting at non-canonical roles in immune signaling .

Key Research Findings

  • Nucleolar Assembly: RPA34/RPA49 deletion in yeast collapses nucleolar structure, reversible only by reducing rRNA gene copy number .

  • Drug Sensitivity: Cd3eap-deficient cells exhibit hypersensitivity to mycophenolate and 6-azauracil, linking Pol I integrity to nucleotide metabolism .

  • Structural Analysis: Cryo-EM studies suggest RPA34 stabilizes Pol I–rDNA interactions during elongation .

Form
Lyophilized powder
Note: We prioritize shipping the format currently in stock. However, if you have a specific format preference, please indicate it in your order notes. We will fulfill your request if possible.
Lead Time
Delivery time may vary based on your purchasing method and location. Please consult your local distributors for specific delivery details.
Note: Our standard shipping includes normal blue ice packs. If you require dry ice shipment, please inform us in advance. Additional fees may apply.
Notes
Repeated freezing and thawing is not recommended. Store working aliquots at 4°C for up to one week.
Reconstitution
We recommend centrifuging the vial briefly before opening to ensure the contents settle at the bottom. Reconstitute the protein in deionized sterile water to a concentration of 0.1-1.0 mg/mL. We suggest adding 5-50% glycerol (final concentration) and aliquoting for long-term storage at -20°C/-80°C. Our default final glycerol concentration is 50%. Customers can use this as a reference.
Shelf Life
The shelf life is influenced by various factors including storage conditions, buffer composition, temperature, and the intrinsic stability of the protein.
Generally, the shelf life of liquid form is 6 months at -20°C/-80°C. The shelf life of lyophilized form is 12 months at -20°C/-80°C.
Storage Condition
Upon receipt, store at -20°C/-80°C. Aliquoting is recommended for multiple uses. Avoid repeated freeze-thaw cycles.

Target Background

Function
DNA-dependent RNA polymerase catalyzes the transcription of DNA into RNA using the four ribonucleoside triphosphates as substrates. It is a component of RNA polymerase I, which synthesizes ribosomal RNA precursors. This enzyme is involved in UBTF-activated transcription, likely at a step following preinitiation complex formation.
