Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-BirA antibody [6C4c7] - BSA and Azide free (AB269579)
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS and sodium azide (ab232732)
ab232732 staining BirA in normal HEK293 cells, BirA transfected HEK293T cells (uninduced) and BirA transfected HEK293T cells induced with DOX. The cells were fixed with 100% MeOH (5min), permeabilized with 0.1%PBS-Triton X-100 for 5 minutes and then blocked with 1% BSA/10% normal goat serum/0.3M glycine in 0.1%PBS-Tween for 1h. The cells were then incubated overnight at +4°C with ab232732 at 5μg/ml and ab6046, Rabbit polyclonal to beta Tubulin - Loading Control, at 1/1000 dilution. Cells were then incubated with ab150117, Goat Anti-Mouse IgG H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488) at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150080, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594) at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolor red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
Image was taken with a confocal microscope (Leica-Microsystems, TCS SP8).

Western blot - Anti-BirA antibody [6C4c7] - BSA and Azide free (AB269579)
This blot was produced using a 4-12% Bis-tris under the MOPS buffer system. The gel was run at 200V for 55 minutes before being transferred onto a Nitrocellulose membrane at 30V for 70 minutes. The membrane was blocked for an hour using 5% milk before ab232732 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated overnight at 4°C at a 1μg/ml concentration and 1/20,000 dilution respectively. Antibody binding was detected using Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216772) and Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216777) secondary antibodies at 1/20,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.
Cell samples kindly provided by the Brian Burke laboratory, A-Star Institute, Singapore.
This image was produced using the same antibody clone but in a different formulation ab232732, PBS and sodium azide.

Biological function summary
BirA adds biotin to specific lysine residues on target proteins a modification important for protein function. This process often regulates proteins involved in metabolism and gene expression. BirA does not operate as a part of a larger protein complex but acts on its own enzyme-substrate interactions. Its distribution is notable in prokaryotic cells where it plays essential roles in microbial biotin metabolism.
Pathways
BirA significantly interacts in the biotin metabolic pathway vital for fatty acid synthesis and gluconeogenesis. The protein's ability to biotinylate targets is vital in pathways where it helps regulate enzymes like acetyl-CoA carboxylase and pyruvate carboxylase which are critical for lipid and carbohydrate metabolism. In the biotin regulation network BirA interacts with other proteins including the biotin repressor protein BioR for controlling gene expression related to biotin and related pathways.
