Geminin inhibits DNA replication by preventing the incorporation of MCM complex into prereplication complex. It is degraded during the mitotic phase of the cell cycle, has a destruction box sequence (RRTLKVIQP), and is ubiquitinated by the anaphase promoting complex in vitro. Its destruction at the metaphase-anaphase transition permits replication in the succeeding cell cycle. Further, geminin interacts tightly with CDT1, a replication initiation factor necessary for MCM loading.
Applications:
Suitable for use in Western Blot and Immunoprecipitation. Other applications not tested.
Recommended Dilution:
Optimal dilutions to be determined by the researcher.
Storage and Stability:
May be stored at 4 degrees C for short-term only. For long-term storage and to avoid repeated freezing and thawing, aliquot Store at -20 degrees C. Aliquots are stable for at least 12 months at -20 degrees C. For maximum recovery of product, centrifuge the original vial after thawing and prior to removing the cap. Further dilutions can be made in assay buffer.
