Background:

Constitutive photomorphogenesis protein 1 (COP1) is an E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase that acts as a repressor of photomorphogenesis and as an activator of etiolation in darkness. E3 ubiquitin ligases accept ubiquitin from an E2 ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme in the form of a thioester and then directly transfers the ubiquitin to targeted substrates.  COP1 represses photomorphogenesis in darkness by mediating ubiquitination and subsequent proteasomal degradation of light-induced transcription factors such as HY5, HYH and LAF1. Cop1 also down-regulates MYB21, probably via ubiquitination process. Light stimuli abrogate the repression of photomorphogenesis, possibly due to its localization to the cytoplasm. COP1 could play a role in switching between skotomorphogenetic and photomorphogenetic pathways.

Other Names:

E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase COP1, Constitutive photomorphogenesis protein 1

Source and Purity:

Rabbit polyclonal antibodies were produced by immunizing animals with a GST-fusion protein containing the C-terminal region of arabidopsis thaliana COP1 (At2g32950). Antibodies were purified by affinity purification using immunogen.
