Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-EEF2/Elongation factor 2 antibody (AB33523)

ab33523 staining EEF2 in HeLa cells. The cells were fixed with 100% methanol (5 min), 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 ab33523 at 1μg/ml and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-EEF2/Elongation factor 2 antibody (AB33523)

IHC image of EEF2/Elongation factor 2 staining in human lung formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, performed on a Leica BondTM system using the standard protocol F. The section was pre-treated using heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6, epitope retrieval solution 1) for 20 mins. The section was then incubated with ab33523, 1μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature and detected using an HRP conjugated compact polymer system. DAB was used as the chromogen. The section was then counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

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

Supplementary information

EEF2 or elongation factor 2 is an important protein in the process of translation during protein synthesis. It is also known by the names EF-2 and EF2. This protein facilitates the translocation step where it moves tRNA and mRNA from the A-site to the P-site on the ribosome. EEF2 has a molecular weight of approximately 95 kDa. The protein is ubiquitously expressed in various tissues and cells due to its fundamental role in protein synthesis making it essential for cellular activities.
Biological function summary

EEF2 functions as part of a larger ribosomal complex. It has an important role in ensuring the accuracy and efficiency of elongation during the translation process. This process is energy-dependent with EEF2 requiring GTP to catalyze the movement along the mRNA strand. The protein must undergo reversible phosphorylation which directly affects its activity. This post-translational modification of EEF2 is a significant modulation point influencing the rate of protein synthesis.

Pathways

EEF2 plays an integral role in the mTOR signaling pathway and the insulin signaling pathway. In the mTOR pathway EEF2 activity is regulated to control protein translation based on cellular energy status and nutrient availability. This pathway is important for cell growth and proliferation. EEF2 interacts with other proteins such as factor 2 and eEF2kinase which phosphorylates the protein thereby inhibiting its activity. In the insulin signaling pathway similar regulatory mechanisms impact EEF2’s role in translation.

EEF2 connects to cancer and neurodegenerative diseases. In cancer aberrant regulation of EEF2 can lead to uncontrolled protein synthesis promoting cell proliferation and tumor growth. Its interaction with mTOR and other signaling proteins like ribosomal proteins plays a role in this dysregulation. In neurodegenerative conditions such as Alzheimer’s disease impaired EEF2 activity results in decreased synaptic protein synthesis affecting neuronal function. Understanding EEF2’s regulation and dysregulation provides insight into its involvement in these diseases offering potential for therapeutic intervention.

Target data

Catalyzes the GTP-dependent ribosomal translocation step during translation elongation (PubMed : 26593721). During this step, the ribosome changes from the pre-translocational (PRE) to the post-translocational (POST) state as the newly formed A-site-bound peptidyl-tRNA and P-site-bound deacylated tRNA move to the P and E sites, respectively (PubMed : 26593721). Catalyzes the coordinated movement of the two tRNA molecules, the mRNA and conformational changes in the ribosome (PubMed : 26593721).
