PIAS 3 rabbit polyclonal, anti-human, mouse, rat

Backgroud: This gene encodes a member of the PIAS [protein inhibitor of activated STAT (signal transducer and activator of transcription)] family of transcriptional modulators. The protein functions as a SUMO (small ubiquitin-like modifier)-E3 ligase which catalyzes the covalent attachment of a SUMO protein to specific target substrates. It directly binds to several transcription factors and either blocks or enhances their activity. Alternatively spliced transcript variants of this gene have been identified, but the full-length nature of some of these variants has not been determined. [provided by RefSeq, Jul 2008],domain:The LXXLL motif is a transcriptional coregulator signature.,function:Functions as an E3-type small ubiquitin-like modifier (SUMO) ligase, stabilizing the interaction between UBE2I and the substrate, and as a SUMO-tethering factor. Plays a crucial role as a transcriptional coregulation in various cellular pathways, including the STAT pathway and the steroid hormone signaling pathway. The effects of this transcriptional coregulation, transactivation or silencing, may vary depending upon the biological context.,induction:By dihydrotestosterone in prostate cancer cells.,pathway:Protein modification; protein sumoylation.,PTM:Sumoylated.,similarity:Belongs to the PIAS family.,similarity:Contains 1 SAP domain.,similarity:Contains 1 SP-RING-type zinc finger.,subunit:Binds SUMO1 and UBE2I. Interacts with AR, GFI1, HMGA2, IRF1, MITF, NCOA2, as well as with STAT3, after treatment with IL6, CNTF or OSM and with STAT5, after PRL stimulation (By similarity). Interacts with PLAG1.,tissue specificity:Widely expressed.,
