Western blot - Anti-FTO antibody [EPR6894] (AB126605)
False colour image of Western blot : Anti-FTO antibody [EPR6894] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab126605 was shown to bind specifically to FTO. A band was observed at 58 kDa in wild-type MCF7 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in FTO knockout cell line. To generate this image, wild-type and FTO knockout MCF7 cell lysates were analysed. First, samples were run on an SDS-PAGE gel then transferred onto a nitrocellulose membrane. Membranes were blocked in 3 % milk in TBS-0.1 % Tween® 20 (TBS-T) before incubation with primary antibodies overnight at 4 °C. Blots were washed four times in TBS-T, incubated with secondary antibodies for 1 h at room temperature, washed again four times then imaged. Secondary antibodies used were Goat anti-Rabbit IgG H&L 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

FTO overexpression causes aberrant mRNA methylation-suppression in the nucleus.a Immunofluorescence images of WT versus Fto-KO cells. Anti-FTO i and anti-FTO ii antibodies are respectively Abcam ab126605 and Santa Cruz sc271713. Anti-FTO i is specific for endogenous FTO while anti-FTO ii is not. Scale bar denotes 10 µm. b Immunofluorescence images of C-terminal-3 x -FLAG-tagged-WT-FTO in HEK293T. Scale bar denotes 10 µm. c, d m6ACE (green) overlaid on Input (orange) read-start RPM counts mapped to representative mRNAs. Sequence corresponds to the same strand as the m6A site. Blue horizontal bars represent transcript models. e Scatterplot of average RML of WT versus WT-Fto-OE cells. WT-FTO-affected are sites with RML reduction of at least log2fold of 2 (Student’s t-test p < 0.05) in WT-Fto-OE compared to WT cells. f MEME analysis of the sequence contexts of FTO-affected sites. g Model for cytoplasmic RNA methylation-reversal. h Model for disruptive methylation suppression by RNA demethylases. (Left panel) Most methylated RNAs (blue) are not demethylated by demethylases but simply undergo eventual RNA decay. (Middle panel) Selected RNAs (green) that ought to remain unmethylated are acted on almost simultaneously by both methyltransferase and demethylase, resulting in no net accumulation of RNA methylation. (Right panel) In the absence of demethylases, RNA methylation accumulates anomalously, which disrupts regular RNA processing.

Biological function summary
FTO influences energy homeostasis and adipogenesis. It acts as an important player in metabolic regulation and gene expression by modulating the m6A RNA modification. While FTO operates largely on its own its demethylation activity may interact with other RNA binding proteins that recognize m6A-modified RNAs integrating it into larger regulatory frameworks for RNA metabolism and cellular responses.
Pathways
FTO is an important component in the regulation of energy balance and metabolism. The protein is closely associated with the mTOR signaling pathway which is essential for controlling cell growth proliferation and survival in response to nutrient availability. FTO also interacts with the leptin signaling pathway relating to its role in appetite regulation and energy expenditure.
