Human NEMF Recombinant Protein (N-His) (HC741012)

Please refer to the specific buffer information in the hardcopy of datasheet or the lot-specific COA.

Ribosome quality control complex subunit NEMF is a ~122 kDa protein. Key component of the ribosome quality control complex (RQC), a ribosome-associated complex that mediates the extraction of incompletely synthesized nascent chains from stalled ribosomes as well as their ubiquitin-mediated proteasomal degradation. Thereby, frees 60S subunit ribosomes from the stalled translation complex and prevents the accumulation of nascent polypeptide chains that are potentially toxic for the cell. Within the RQC complex, NEMF specifically binds stalled 60S ribosomal subunits by recognizing an exposed, nascent chain-conjugated tRNA moiety and promotes the recruitment of LTN1 to stalled 60S subunits. Following binding to stalled 60S ribosomal subunits, NEMF mediates CAT tailing by recruiting alanine-charged tRNA to the A-site and directing the elongation of stalled nascent chains independently of mRNA or 40S subunits, leading to non-templated C-terminal alanine extensions (CAT tails). Mainly recruits alanine-charged tRNAs, but can also other amino acid-charged tRNAs.
