Anti-Urm1 antibody (ab4755)

Western blot - Urm1 antibody (ab4755)

ab4755 was tested by immunoblot against yeast lysates expressing the Urm1-GFP fusion protein and other UBL fusion proteins. All UBLs possess limited homology to Ubiquitin and to each other, therefore it is important to know the degree of reactivity of each antibody against each UBL.   Panel A shows total protein staining using ponceau.  Panel B shows positions of free GFP or GFP containing recombinant proteins present in each lysate preparation after reaction with a 1/1000 dilution of Goat polyclonal to GFP (ab6673) followed by reaction with a 1/15000 dilution of Donkey polyclonal to Goat IgG (HRP)(ab7125).  Panel C shows specific reaction with Urm1 using a 1/1000 dilution of ab4755 followed by reaction with a 1/15000 dilution of Goat polyclonal to Rabbit IgG (HRP) (ab7090).  All primary antibodies were diluted in TTBS buffer supplemented with 5% non-fat milk and incubated with the membranes overnight at 4° C.  Yeast lysate proteins were separated by SDS-PAGE using a 15% gel.  This data indicates that anti-Urm1 is highly specific and does not cross react with other UBLs.  Bands present in Panel C indicate that Urm1 and conjugated Urm1 is present in most yeast cell lysates albeit at significantly reduced levels relative to the Urm1-GFP transfected lysate.  A chemiluminescence system was used for signal detection (Roche).  Other detection systems will yield similar results.  Data contributed by M.
