Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Alexa Fluor® 647 Anti-NSUN2/SAKI antibody [EPR24140-93] (AB281323)

Immunofluorescence staining of NSUN2 staining in a section of formalin-fixed paraffin-embedded human normal pancreas*.

The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with EDTA (pH9.0) using retrieval settings of 110°C for 20 minutes. Non-specific protein-protein interactions were then blocked in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100, 0.3M (w/v) glycine and 1% (w/v) BSA for 1h at room temperature. The section was then incubated overnight at +4°C in TBS containing 0.025% (v/v) Triton X-100 and 1% (w/v) BSA with ab281323 at 1/100 dilution (shown in red) and counterstained using ab195887, Ms anti-Tubulin (A488) at 1/250 dilution (shown in green). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). The section was then mounted using Fluoromount®.

Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

For other IHC staining systems (automated and non-automated), customers should optimize variable parameters such as antigen retrieval conditions, antibody concentrations and incubation times.

Supplementary information

NSUN2 also known as SAKI is a methyltransferase enzyme that adds a methyl group to cytosine within nucleic acids most often in RNA. It has a molecular mass of about 83 kDa. This protein is widely expressed in different tissues but shows high expression levels in the brain and reproductive organs. NSUN2 modifies RNA molecules impacting their function and stability which is essential in various cellular processes.
Biological function summary

NSUN2 participates in RNA metabolism and processing. By introducing m5C (5-methylcytosine) modifications to RNA NSUN2 influences RNA stability transport and translation. This protein is a part of larger complexes that regulate diverse cellular functions and maintains transcriptome integrity. Alterations in NSUN2 activity can affect cellular proliferation and differentiation highlighting its role in maintaining normal cell function.

Pathways

NSUN2 plays an integral role in the epitranscriptomic regulation pathway in particular RNA modification and gene expression regulation pathways. It acts alongside proteins like TRMT2A and TRMT61A which are involved in similar processes of RNA methylation and modification. These pathways help maintain a balance in gene expression profiles necessary for proper cellular function and response to external signals.

Mutations or dysfunctions in NSUN2 are associated with mental retardation and cancer. In neurodevelopmental disorders altered NSUN2 activity disrupts normal brain development potentially linking it with proteins like FTSJ1 another RNA methyltransferase. Similarly in cancer NSUN2 dysregulation leads to aberrant cell proliferation and tumorigenesis often in connection with oncogenic pathways and other modified proteins.

Target data

RNA cytosine C(5)-methyltransferase that methylates cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (m5C) in various RNAs, such as tRNAs, mRNAs and some long non-coding RNAs (lncRNAs) (PubMed : 17071714, PubMed : 22995836, PubMed : 31199786, PubMed : 31358969). Involved in various processes, such as epidermal stem cell differentiation, testis differentiation and maternal to zygotic transition during early development : acts by increasing protein synthesis; cytosine C(5)-methylation promoting tRNA stability and preventing mRNA decay (PubMed : 31199786). Methylates cytosine to 5-methylcytosine (m5C) at positions 34 and 48 of intron-containing tRNA(Leu)(CAA) precursors, and at positions 48, 49 and 50 of tRNA(Gly)(GCC) precursors (PubMed : 17071714, PubMed : 22995836, PubMed : 31199786). tRNA methylation is required generation of RNA fragments derived from tRNAs (tRFs) (PubMed : 31199786). Also mediates C(5)-methylation of mitochondrial tRNAs (PubMed : 31276587). Catalyzes cytosine C(5)-methylation of mRNAs, leading to stabilize them and prevent mRNA decay : mRNA stabilization involves YBX1 that specifically recognizes and binds m5C-modified transcripts (PubMed : 22395603, PubMed : 31358969, PubMed : 34556860). Cytosine C(5)-methylation of mRNAs also regulates mRNA export : methylated transcripts are specifically recognized by THOC4/ALYREF, which mediates mRNA nucleo-cytoplasmic shuttling (PubMed : 28418038). Also mediates cytosine C(5)-methylation of non-coding RNAs, such as vault RNAs (vtRNAs), promoting their processing into regulatory small RNAs (PubMed : 23871666). Cytosine C(5)-methylation of vtRNA VTRNA1.1 promotes its processing into small-vault RNA4 (svRNA4) and regulates epidermal differentiation (PubMed : 31186410). May act downstream of Myc to regulate epidermal cell growth and proliferation (By similarity). Required for proper spindle assembly and chromosome segregation, independently of its methyltransferase activity (PubMed : 19596847).
