RPA1 Antibody – Rabbit Polyclonal

RPA1: Plays an essential role in several cellular processes in DNA metabolism including replication, recombination and DNA repair. Binds and subsequently stabilizes single-stranded DNA intermediates and thus prevents complementary DNA from reannealing. Heterotrimer composed of RPA1, RPA2 and RPA3 (canonical replication protein A complex). Component of the alternative replication protein A complex (aRPA) composed of RPA1, RPA3 and RPA4. The DNA-binding activity may reside exclusively on the RPA1 subunit. Interacts with RIPK1 and XPA. Interacts with RPA4. Interacts with the polymerase alpha subunit POLA1/p180; this interaction stabilizes the replicative complex and reduces the misincorporation rate of DNA polymerase alpha by acting as a fidelity clamp. Interact with RAD51 and SENP6 to regulate DNA repair. Interacts with HELB; this interaction promotes HELB recruitement to chromatin following DNA damage. Belongs to the replication factor A protein 1 family.
