ab51976 staining Eg5 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 ab51976 at 5µg/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 magenta). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue). Also suitable in cells fixed with 4% paraformaldehyde (10 min).Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-Eg5 antibody [mAbcam 51976] (AB51976)

Eg5 was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg Jurkat whole cell extract, 5µg of Mouse monoclonal to Eg5 and 50µl of protein G magnetic beads (+). No antibody was added to the control (-).
The antibody was incubated under agitation with Protein G beads for 10min, Jurkat whole cell extract lysate diluted in RIPA buffer was added to each sample and incubated for a further 10min under agitation.
Proteins were eluted by addition of 40µl SDS loading buffer and incubated for 10min at 70oC; 10µl of each sample was separated on a SDS PAGE gel, transferred to a nitrocellulose membrane, blocked with 5% BSA and probed with ab51976.

Supplementary information

The Eg5 protein also known scientifically as kinesin family member 11 (KIF11) plays an important role in cell mitosis. It functions mechanically as a plus-end directed motor involved in the separation of centrosomes during the early stage of cell division. Eg5 with an approximate mass of 116 kDa is responsible for the proper alignment and segregation of spindle fibers. The protein is expressed in rapidly dividing cells particularly within tissues with high turnover rates such as bone marrow and epithelium.
Biological function summary

The motor function of Eg5 is indispensable for the mitotic spindle organization. It provides the force necessary to push microtubules in opposite directions. Eg5 functions as part of a complex cellular machinery that includes proteins like dynein and other kinesins. By controlling spindle bipolarity it ensures accurate chromosome segregation during cell division preventing errors that could lead to aneuploidy.

Pathways

The action of Eg5 is fundamental in mitotic pathways including the spindle assembly checkpoint pathway. It interacts with proteins such as cyclin-dependent kinases (CDKs) which regulate its activity to ensure proper cell cycle progression. The protein's role is integral in facilitating the dynamics of the metaphase spindle checkpoint guaranteeing cell cycle fidelity.

Eg5 is linked to certain types of cancers where there is abnormal cell division. The overexpression or dysregulation of Eg5 can contribute to tumorigenesis. Additionally Eg5 interacts with proteins involved in cancer such as p53 a tumor suppressor protein directly influencing cellular proliferation and survival. Researchers target Eg5 in the development of anticancer therapies to inhibit its activity aiming to obstruct malignant cell proliferation.
