Western blot - Anti-LEF1 antibody [EP2030Y] (AB53293)

False colour image of Western blot : Anti-LEF1 antibody [EP2030Y] staining at 1/5000 dilution, shown in black; Mouse anti-Alpha Tubulin [DM1A] (ab7291) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab53293 was shown to bind specifically to LEF1. A band was observed at 40/53 kDa in wild-type Jurkat cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in Lef1 knockout cell line ab274898 (knockout cell lysate ab274956). To generate this image, wild-type and Lef1 knockout Jurkat 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 before development with Optiblot (ECL reagent ab133456) and imaged with 8 minutes exposure time. Secondary antibodies used were HRP conjugated Goat anti-Rabbit (H+L) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Supplementary information

LEF1 also known as lymphoid enhancer-binding factor 1 is a transcription factor important in the Wnt signaling pathway. It typically weighs around 44 kDa. This protein contains a high-mobility group (HMG) box domain that enables it to bind specifically to DNA and influence gene expression. LEF1 is primarily expressed in tissues with active Wnt signaling including developing organs and certain cell types like T-cells specifically Jurkat cells. Researchers use LEF1 protein immunohistochemistry (LEF1 IHC) and LEF1 markers for expression analysis in different tissues.
Biological function summary

The LEF1 transcription factor plays a significant role in cellular processes such as cell differentiation proliferation and embryonic development. As part of the Wnt signaling complex it interacts with β-catenin to regulate target gene expression. Activation of Wnt signaling by LEF1 can lead to changes in the cellular structure and function necessary for tissue development and regeneration. LEF1 also contributes to maintaining the pluripotency of stem cells by modulating gene networks critical for stem cell properties.

Pathways

The LEF1 protein is essential in Wnt/β-catenin signaling and influences the Hedgehog pathway. LEF1 pairs with β-catenin to drive the transcription of Wnt target genes involved in cell cycle and differentiation. These pathways maintain stem cell populations and regulate development. LEF1's function in these pathways links it closely to other factors like TCF7L2 and GLI family proteins which also play vital roles within these signaling cascades.

LEF1 can be linked to conditions such as cancer and immune-related diseases. Overexpression or mutation of the LEF1 protein can lead to various types of cancers including leukemia and colorectal cancer by promoting abnormal cell proliferation and survival. LEF1's role in the immune system also associates it with autoimmune diseases where dysregulation of Wnt signaling might contribute to disease progression. Altered interactions between LEF1 and β-catenin or other associated proteins can disrupt normal cellular activities leading to these pathologies.

Target data

Transcription factor that binds DNA in a sequence-specific manner (PubMed : 2010090). Participates in the Wnt signaling pathway (By similarity). Activates transcription of target genes in the presence of CTNNB1 and EP300 (By similarity). PIAG antagonizes both Wnt-dependent and Wnt-independent activation by LEF1 (By similarity). TLE1, TLE2, TLE3 and TLE4 repress transactivation mediated by LEF1 and CTNNB1 (PubMed : 11266540). Regulates T-cell receptor alpha enhancer function (PubMed : 19653274). Required for IL17A expressing gamma-delta T-cell maturation and development, via binding to regulator loci of BLK to modulate expression (By similarity). Acts as a positive regulator of odontoblast differentiation during mesenchymal tooth germ formation, expression is repressed during the bell stage by MSX1-mediated inhibition of CTNNB1 signaling (By similarity). May play a role in hair cell differentiation and follicle morphogenesis (By similarity).. Isoform 1. Transcriptionally activates MYC and CCND1 expression and enhances proliferation of pancreatic tumor cells.. Isoform 3. Lacks the CTNNB1 interaction domain and may therefore be an antagonist for Wnt signaling.. Isoform 5. Transcriptionally activates the fibronectin promoter, binds to and represses transcription from the E-cadherin promoter in a CTNNB1-independent manner, and is involved in reducing cellular aggregation and increasing cell migration of pancreatic cancer cells.
