Description

Rabbit polyclonal to EIF2S1 (phospho S51)

Tested applications

ICC/IF, WB, IHC-Frmore details

Cross reactivity

Reacts with

Mouse, Human, Saccharomyces cerevisiae, Mink (Mustela)

Immunogen

Synthetic peptide (Human) derived from the region of human eIF-2 alpha that contains serine 51. This region is conserved among many species including rat, pig, cow, fruit fly, and yeast.

Positive control

3T3-L1 adipocytes stimulated with Leukemia Inhibitory Factor (LIF).

Properties

Form

Liquid

Storage instructions

Shipped at 4°C. Upon delivery aliquot and store at -20°C or -80°C. Avoid repeated freeze / thaw cycles.

Storage buffer

Preservative: 0.05% Sodium Azide
Constituents: 50% Glycerol, PBS, 1mg/ml BSA (IgG, protease free). pH 7.3

Concentration

Concentration information loading...

Purity

Immunogen affinity purified

Purification notes

Purified from rabbit serum by sequential epitope-specific chromatography. The antibody has been negatively preadsorbed using a non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the site of phosphorylation to remove antibody that is reactive with non-phosphorylated eIF-2 alpha. The final product is generated by affinity chromatography using an eIF-2 alpha-derived peptide that is phosphorylated at serine 52.

Target

Function

Functions in the early steps of protein synthesis by forming a ternary complex with GTP and initiator tRNA. This complex binds to a 40S ribosomal subunit, followed by mRNA binding to form a 43S preinitiation complex. Junction of the 60S ribosomal subunit to form the 80S initiation complex is preceded by hydrolysis of the GTP bound to eIF-2 and release of an eIF-2-GDP binary complex. In order for eIF-2 to recycle and catalyze another round of initiation, the GDP bound to eIF-2 must exchange with GTP by way of a reaction catalyzed by eIF-2B.

Sequence similarities

Belongs to the eIF-2-alpha family.
Contains 1 S1 motif domain.

Post-translational
modifications

Substrate for at least 4 kinases: EIF2AK3/PERK, GCN2, HRI and PKR. Phosphorylation stabilizes the eIF-2/GDP/eIF-2B complex and prevents GDP/GTP exchange reaction, thus impairing the recycling of eIF-2 between successive rounds of initiation and leading to global inhibition of translation. In case of infection by vaccinia virus or rotavirus A, eIF2S1 phosphorylation state is modulated.

Cellular localization

Cytoplasmic granule. The cytoplasmic granules are stress granules which are a dense aggregation in the cytosol composed of proteins and RNAs that appear when the cell is under stress. Co-localizes with NANOS3 in the stress granules.

Peptide Competition:

Extracts prepared from 3T3-L1 adipocytes were resolved by SDS-PAGE on a 10% Tris-glycine gel and transferred to PVDF.

Membranes were blocked with a 5% BSA-TBST buffer overnight at 4oC, then were incubated with 0.50 µg/mL ab4837 antibody for two hours at room temperature in a 3% BSA-TBST buffer, following prior incubation with:
1) the phosphopeptide immunogen
2) the non-phosphopeptide corresponding to the immunogen
3) no peptide

After washing, membranes were incubated with goat F(ab)2 anti-rabbit IgG alkaline phosphatase and bands were detected using the Tropix WesternStar method. The data show that only the peptide corresponding to ab4837 blocks the antibody signal, thereby demonstrating the specificity of the antibody.

ab4837 staining eIF2S1(phospho S51) in mouse skeletal muscle tissue sections (5 µm) by IHC-Fr (Frozen sections). Tissue samples were fixed with acetone (for 10 minutes at -20°C) and blocked with 2% BSA for 1 hour at 25°C. The sample was incubated with primary antibody (1/250 in PBS with 1% BSA) at 4°C for 9 hours. An Alexa Fluor®488-conjugated Goat polyclonal to rabbit IgG (1/500) was used as secondary antibody.

ab4837 staining eIF2S1 in human 293ft cells by Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence. The cells were paraformaldehyde fixed, permeabilised in 0.1% Triton X-100 and then blocked using 5% serum for 1 hour at 25°C. Samples were then incubated with primary antibody at 1/200 for 2 hours at 25°C. The secondary antibody used was a goat anti-rabbit IgG conjugated to Alexa Fluor® 488 (green) used at a 1/250 dilution. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue).
