Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Cdk8 antibody [EPR21005] - BSA and Azide free (AB239523)
Cdk8 was immunoprecipitated from 0.35 mg of SW480 (human colorectal adenocarcinoma cell line) whole cell lysate with ab229192 at 1/30 dilution. Western blot was performed from the immunoprecipitate using ab229192 at 1/1000 dilution. VeriBlot for IP Detection Reagent (HRP) (ab131366) was used for detection at 1/10,000 dilution.
Lane 1 : SW480 whole cell lysate 10 μg (Input).
Lane 2 : ab229192 IP in SW480 whole cell lysate.
Lane 3 : Rabbit monoclonal IgG (ab172730) instead of ab229192 in SW480 whole cell lysate.
Blocking and dilution buffer and concentration : 5% NFDM/TBST.
Exposure time : 3 minutes.
This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation containing PBS, BSA, glycerol, and sodium azide (ab229192).

ab229192 was shown to specifically react with Cdk8 in wild-type HAP1 cells as signal was lost in Cdk8 knockout cells.
Wild-type and Cdk8 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab229192 and ab181602 (Rabbit anti-GAPDH loading control) were incubated 1 hour at room temperature at 1/1000 dilution and 1/200,000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat Anti-Rabbit IgG, (H+L), Peroxidase conjugated (ab97051) secondary antibody at 1/100,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging. The blot was developed on a BIO-RAD® ChemiDoc™ MP instrument using the ECL technique.

This data was developed using the same antibody clone in a different buffer formulation (ab229192).
Lanes 1-4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab229192 observed at 53 kDa. Red - loading control ab8245 observed at 37 kDa.
ab229192 Anti-Cdk8 antibody [EPR21005] was shown to specifically react with Cdk8 in wild-type HeLa cells. Loss of signal was observed when knockout cell line ab265087 (knockout cell lysate ab257885) was used. Wild-type and Cdk8 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab229192 and Anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] - Loading Control (ab8245) were incubated overnight at 4°C at 1 in 1000 dilution and 1 in 20000 dilution respectively. Blots were developed with Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L (IRDye® 800CW) preadsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preadsorbed (ab216776) secondary antibodies at 1 in 20000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Biological function summary
Cdk8 plays a critical role in modulating transcriptional responses. It does this by becoming part of the Mediator complex which is essential for transcription regulation by RNA Polymerase II. The Mediator complex where Cdk8 acts as a kinase influences the initiation and regulation of gene expression. Cdk8 phosphorylates several transcription factors and other components affecting their ability to activate or repress transcription.
Pathways
Cyclin-dependent kinase 8 functions prominently in the Wnt/β-catenin signaling and Notch signaling pathways both essential for development and cell differentiation. In the Wnt pathway it interacts closely with proteins like β-catenin to influence gene activation. In the Notch pathway it modulates transcription factors related to cellular differentiation processes. These interactions underline its role as a regulator in carefully managing cellular responses to signaling cues.
