Target

Relevance

The poly(A)-binding protein (PABP), which is found complexed to the 3-prime poly(A) tail of eukaryotic mRNA, is required for poly(A) shortening and translation initiation. Grange et al. (1987) isolated a melanoma cell cDNA encoding human PABP. The predicted 633-amino acid protein contains 4 repeats of an approximately 80-amino acid unit in its N-terminal half. The authors found that this repeat region is highly conserved between human and yeast PABP and is sufficient for poly(A) binding. In vitro translation of the human PABP cDNA yielded a protein with an apparent molecular mass of 73 kD by SDS-PAGE. Northern blot analysis indicated that PABP is expressed as a 2.9-kb mRNA in human melanoma cells. Gorlach et al. (1994) noted that each of the 4 repeats of PABP is a ribonucleoprotein (RNP) consensus sequence RNA-binding domain. They determined that PABP has a pI of approximately 10.3 and is a very abundant, stable protein. Immunofluorescence studies of mammalian cells indicated that PABP is located exclusively in the cytoplasm. However, using both indirect immunofluorescence and tagging of PABP1 by fusion to the green fluorescent protein (GFP), Afonina et al. (1998) demonstrated that PABP1 shuttles between the nucleus and cytoplasm. PABP1 accumulated in the nucleus when transcription was inhibited, suggesting that active transcription is required for nuclear export of PABP1.

Cellular localization

Cytoplasmic. Shuttles between the cytoplasm and the nucleus.

ICC/IF image of ab6125 stained HeLa cells. The cells were 4% formaldehyde fixed (10 min) and then incubated in 1%BSA / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine in 0.1% PBS-Tween for 1h to permeabilise the cells and block non-specific protein-protein interactions. The cells were then incubated with the antibody (ab6125, 1µg/ml) overnight at +4°C. The secondary antibody (green) was Alexa Fluor® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) used at a 1/1000 dilution for 1h. Alexa Fluor® 594 WGA was used to label plasma membranes (red) at a 1/200 dilution for 1h. DAPI was used to stain the cell nuclei (blue) at a concentration of 1.43µM.

The cells were then incubated in 1x PBS / 10% normal goat serum / 0.3M glycine to block non-specific protein-protein interactions followed by the antibody (ab6125, 1µg/1x106 cells) for 30 min at 22°C. The secondary antibody used was DyLight® 488 goat anti-mouse IgG (H+L) (ab96879) at 1/500 dilution for 30 min at 22°C. Isotype control antibody (black line) was mouse IgG2b [PLPV219] (ab91366, 2µg/1x106 cells) used under the same conditions. Acquisition of >5,000 events was performed. This antibody gave a positive signal in HeLa cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min)/permeabilized in 0.1% PBS-Tween used under the same conditions.

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-PABP antibody [10E10] (ab6125)

PABP was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg Hela whole cell extract, 5µg of Mouse monoclonal to PABP (ab6125)and 50µl of protein G magnetic beads (lane 1). The antibody was incubated with the Protein G beads for 10min under agitation. No antibody was added to the control (lane 2). Hela whole cell extract diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for 10min under agitation. Proteins were eluted by addition of 40µl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70oC; 10µl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab6125. Secondary: Goat polyclonal to mouse IgG light chain specific (HRP) at 1/5000 dilution.
Bands: 76kDa: PABP.
