Relevance 

Activation Protein transcription factor 2 (AP2) is a developmentally regulated transcription factor that recognizes a specific sequence CCCCAGGC or related sequences present in several promoter and enhancer gene regions including the promoters of the AP2 genes themselves. There are three different but highly homologous AP2 isoforms: alpha, beta, and gamma (ERF-1), encoded by three different retinoic acid-responsive genes. Each form of AP2 possesses the DNA binding domain (basic helix-span-helix motif) characteristic of this family of transcription factors. The AP2 proteins are normally expressed in ectodermally derived vertebrate tissues where they are necessary for normal growth and development. The factors have also been implicated in the control of cell proliferation, viral transformation, and oncogenesis. AP2 seems to play in important role in human breast cancer.

Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay - AP2 alpha antibody (ab52222)

Antibody anti-AP-2 alpha (ab52222) was used in an Electrophoretic Mobility Shift Assay (EMSA) to supershift the protein-DNA complex.

Radiolabelled, double-stranded DNA oligonucleotides (10.000 cpm per lane) harbouring a binding site for AP-2 alpha were incubated with each 2 µg of nuclear extract (NE) from HeLa and Caski cells, respectively. Samples were incubated for 30 minutes at room temperature to allow the formation of protein-DNA complexes. 2 µg of anti-AP-2 alpha antibody were added to the samples (as indicated) and incubated for further 60 minutes at 4°C. Samples were separated in a 5.5% PAGE for 30 minutes at 280 V and further 75 minutes at 350 V. The Gel was dried under vacuum and for autoradiography a X-ray film was exposed with an intensifying screen for 2 days at -80°C. Specific protein-DNA complexes were quantitatively supershifted with antibody anti-AP-2 alpha (ab52222), verifying the binding of AP-2 alpha to the DNA oligonucleotide. Rating: ***** This image was kindly provided by Dr Lars Krueger.
