Species Reactivity: Mouse Source / Purification Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Arg2412 of mouse RIF1 protein. Background The Rap1 interacting factor 1 (RIF1) was originally identified as a regulator of telomere homeostasis in yeast and mammalian cells (1). Research studies show that RIF1 regulates the timing of eukaryotic DNA replication origin firing through its effect on chromatin architecture (2-4). Additional studies show that RIF1 is essential for regulating the repair of DNA double-strand breaks (DSBs). RIF1 is recruited to sites of DSBs by 53BP1 in response to DNA damage, and suppresses 5' end resection to favor the non-homologous end joining (NHEJ) pathway over homologous recombination (HR) repair (5-8). Oct-4 and Smad3 modulate RIF1 expression in mouse embryonic stem cells, and RIF1 may regulate embryonic stem cell stability during cell proliferation (9). Inhibition of ATR or CHK1 activity induces CDK1-mediated phosphorylation of RIF1 at serine 2205 (human)/serine 2153 (mouse), leading to firing of dormant origins of DNA replication during S phase (10,11).
