Immunoprecipitation - Anti-8-methyladenosine (m8A) antibody [EPR-20836-125-1] (AB211498)

The IP was performed in a U-bottom non-adsorbing propylene 96-well plate.

ab211498 (0.2 μg) was coated into Dynabeads® sheep-anti-rabbit IgG (50 μl) for 1h at RT.

Unmodified/modified oligonucleotides (5 μM) were added to samples containing the antibody/bead complexes and incubated with agitation for 1 hour at RT.

After washing, Peroxidase-conjugated Streptavidin was incubated at 1/1000 dilution with agitation for 1 hour at RT.

ECL substrate was then added and the results read in a non-transparent 96-well plate with a digital detector and analyzed using ImageJ.

Supplementary information

8-Methyladenosine (m8A) represents a modified nucleoside with a methyl group added to the adenosine molecule. It is known also as N-methyladenosine. The mass of m8A depends on its position within a nucleic acid sequence; generally the addition of a methyl group alters its properties without significantly affecting its overall mass. This modification typically occurs within rRNA tRNA and mRNA across many species including humans. The expression of m8A is predominantly associated with cellular RNA but detailed characterization of its distribution within particular tissues or cell types remains an active research area.
Biological function summary

8-methyladenosine modifies RNA and affects various cellular processes. Its presence can influence RNA stability translation efficiency and splicing patterns. Although not part of any known stable complex it cooperates with proteins involved in RNA metabolism such as methyltransferases which mediate its methylation. The dynamic modification of m8A implies a regulatory role in RNA-related processes impacting the cell's ability to respond to different physiological demands.

Pathways

M8A modification integrates into cellular regulatory systems including the RNA processing and decay pathways. It connects with proteins such as methyltransferases which are responsible for adding methyl groups to nucleosides. In RNA processing pathways m8A potentially affects the interactions between RNA and RNA-binding proteins influencing RNA localization and degradation. Its role interplays with the m6A methylation pathway sharing some common methyltransferases and demethylases that adjust methylation marks on RNA.

M8A alteration associates with cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. Abnormal m8A levels may disrupt normal RNA metabolism and contribute to tumorigenesis or cancer progression. Within neurodegenerative diseases m8A modifications in RNA could affect neuronal function and survival linking to proteins involved in RNA transport and degradation. Research efforts continue to uncover how this RNA modification might serve as a biomarker or therapeutic target in various pathological conditions.
