Application notes 
(see key)

Recommended dilutions
ICC/IF: Use at a concentration of 5 µg/ml.
WB: Use at a concentration of 1 µg/ml. Detects a band of approximately 35 kDa (predicted molecular weight: 31 kDa).


Not yet tested in other applications.
Optimal dilutions/concentrations should be determined by the end user.

Relevance 

U1A binds stem loop II of U1 snRNA. It is the first snRNP to interact with pre-mRNA. This interaction is required for the subsequent binding of U2 snRNP and the U4/U6/U5 tri-snRNP. In a snRNP-free form (SF-A) it may be involved in coupled pre-mRNA splicing and polyadenylation process.
It belongs to the spliceosome where it is associated with snRNP U1. It interacts with SFPQ (referenced from swissprot).

Performed under reducing conditions.

Predicted band size : 31 kDa
Observed band size : 35 kDa (why is the actual band size different from the predicted?)


The U1A protein is acetylated and rich in proline residues (SwissProt data) which may cause it to run at a higher molecular weight than predicted.

Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - U1A antibody (ab40689)

ICC/IF image of ab40689 stained human HeLa cells. The cells were PFA fixed (10 min), permabilised in TBS-T (20 min) and incubated with the antibody (ab40689, 5µg/ml) for 1h at room temperature. 1%BSA / 10% normal serum / 0.3M glycine was used to quench autofluorescence and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red). DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).
