Biological background
RB1CC1 is encoded by the RB1CC1 gene located on human chromosome 8q11.23. The protein is approximately 1,594 amino acids long and contains coiled-coil domains that mediate protein-protein interactions, along with a C-terminal region necessary for autophagosome formation. It serves as a molecular scaffold that integrates signals from growth factors, energy status, and nutrient availability to coordinate autophagy and cell proliferation.
The RB1CC1 antibody detects a 200 kilodalton protein by western blot and shows both cytoplasmic and perinuclear localization under immunofluorescence. RB1CC1 forms a complex with ULK1, ATG13, and ATG101, controlling the initiation of autophagosome formation under starvation conditions. It is required for proper vesicle nucleation and lipidation of LC3, central steps in autophagy induction.
In addition to its role in autophagy, RB1CC1 interacts with the retinoblastoma tumor suppressor RB1 to inhibit cell cycle progression, contributing to tumor suppression. Loss of RB1CC1 function leads to impaired autophagy, accumulation of damaged organelles, and increased susceptibility to oncogenic transformation. Conversely, overexpression of RB1CC1 promotes survival during stress and supports metabolic adaptation.
RB1CC1 participates in neuronal homeostasis, cardiac development, and immune regulation, emphasizing its broad physiological relevance. Dysregulation is associated with cancer, neurodegenerative diseases, and cardiomyopathies.
Research relevance and current trends
- Connecting protein-level changes to phenotype using orthogonal readouts (genetic perturbation, transcriptomics, imaging).
- Considering isoforms and post-translational regulation when interpreting protein-level changes.
- Comparing results across species and model systems with matched controls.
Common research applications
- Western blotting: compare relative abundance and activation-state changes across conditions.
- Immunofluorescence: visualize subcellular distribution and cell-to-cell heterogeneity.
- Immunohistochemistry: map target signal in tissue context and compare regions/phenotypes.
- Flow cytometry: quantify target-positive populations and signal shifts at single-cell resolution.
- ELISA: support antibody-based quantification in assay formats where applicable.
Interpret changes in signal alongside appropriate controls and, when relevant, in parallel with total-protein or pathway readouts.
Notes for experimental interpretation
- Signal can reflect expression level, isoform composition, and post-translational state; interpret results in the context of your model system and stimuli.
- Species differences and sample matrices can influence epitope recognition; prioritize matched controls and orthogonal confirmation when feasible.
Antibody notes: Polyclonal antibodies recognize multiple epitopes, which can broaden the epitope footprint and may increase sensitivity in some contexts.
