The Cullin 1 Colorimetric Cell-Based ELISA Kit is a convenient, lysate-free, high throughput and sensitive assay kit that can detect Cullin 1 protein expression profile in cells. The kit can be used for measuring the relative amounts of Cullin 1 in cultured cells as well as screening for the effects that various treatments, inhibitors (ie siRNA or chemicals), or activators have on Cullin 1.
Qualitative determination of Cullin 1 concentration is achieved by an indirect ELISA format. In essence, Cullin 1 is captured by Cullin 1-specific primary antibodies while the HRP-conjugated secondary antibodies bind the Fc region of the primary antibody. Through this binding, the HRP enzyme conjugated to the secondary antibody can catalyze a colorimetric reaction upon substrate addition. Due to the qualitative nature of the Cell-Based ELISA, multiple normalization methods are needed:
| 1. | A monoclonal antibody specific for human GAPDH is included to serve as an internal positive control in normalizing the target absorbance values. |
| 2. | Following the colorimetric measurement of HRP activity via substrate addition, the Crystal Violet whole-cell staining method may be used to determine cell density. After staining, the results can be analysed by normalizing the absorbance values to cell amounts, by which the plating difference can be adjusted. |

| Gene Symbol: | CUL1 |
| Sub Type: | None |
| UniProt Protein Function: | CUL1: a core scaffolding component of multiple cullin-RING-based SCF (SKP1- CUL1-F-box protein) E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase complexes, which mediate the ubiquitination of proteins involved in cell cycle progression, signal transduction and transcription. The cullin subunit serves as a rigid scaffold of SCF complexes. May contribute to catalysis through positioning of the substrate and the ubiquitin-conjugating enzyme. The E3 ubiquitin-protein ligase activity of the complex depends on the neddylation of the cullin subunit. Interacts with multiple F-box proteins in SCF complexes, directing the ubiquitination of many substrates. These F-box proteins and associated substrates include: BTRC and FBXW11 bind CTNNB1 and participate in Wnt signaling; FBXW11 bind phosphorylated NFKBIA; BTRC binds NFKBIB, NFKBIE, ATF4, SMAD3, SMAD4, CDC25A, FBXO5 and probably NFKB2; SKP2 binds phosphorylated p27kip and is involved in regulation of G1/S transition; SKP2 binds ORC1, CDT1, RBL2, ELF4, CDKN1A, RAG2, FOXO1A, and probably MYC and TAL1; FBXW7 binds cyclin E, NOTCH1 released notch intracellular domain (NICD), and probably PSEN1; FBXW2 binds GCM1; FBXO32 binds MYOD1; FBXO7 binds BIRC2 and DLGAP5; FBXO33 binds YBX1; and Cyclin F binds CP110. Interacts with CHEK2, mediating its ubiquitination and regulating its function. Belongs to the cullin family. |

| Step | Procedure |
| 1. | Seed 200 µL of 20,000 adherent cells in culture medium in each well of a 96-well plate. The plates included in the kit are sterile and treated for cell culture. For suspension cells and loosely attached cells, coat the plates with 100 µL of 10 µg/ml Poly-L-Lysine (not included) to each well of a 96-well plate for 30 minutes at 37°C prior to adding cells. |
