ARFIP1 Recombinant Protein Antigen

ADP-ribosylation factors, or ARFs, enhance the ADP ribosyltransferase activity of cholera toxin and are implicated in vesicle transport between endoplasmic reticulum and the Golgi complex. Arfaptin 1 is recruited from the cytosol to Golgi membranes by ARFs in a guanosine 5'-O-(3-thiotriphosphate)-dependent and brefeldin A-sensitive manner but is not a constituent of coatomer. Arfaptin 1 binds to nonmyristoylated GTP-bound ARF3, but not to GDP-bound ARF3, and also to ARF1, another class I ARF. It binds with lower affinity to ARF5, a class II ARF, and with very little affinity to ARF6, a class III ARF. POR1 (also designated arfaptin 2) was first isolated as a Rac 1 binding protein necessary for Rac mediated Actin polymerization and the subsequent formation of membrane ruffles and lamellipodia. POR1 has also been shown to interact with the ADP ribosylation factor ARF6, a GTPase that associates with the plasma membrane and intracellular endosome vesicles, in a GTP dependent manner. The association of POR1 with ARF6 stimulates induction of Actin polymerization. POR1 appears to play a regulatory role through multiple signaling pathways in the reorganization of the cytoskeletal structure.
