Lanes 1 - 4 : Merged signal (red and green). Green - ab92312 observed at 88 kDa. Red - loading control, ab8245, observed at 37 kDa.
Unpurified ab92312 was shown to recognize MLH1 in wild-type HAP1 cells along with additonal cross reactive bands. No band was observed when MLH1 knockout samples were examined. Wild-type and MLH1 knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab92312 and ab8245 (loading control to GAPDH) were both diluted 1/1000 and incubated overnight at 4°C. 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 1/10,000 dilution for 1 hour at room temperature before imaging.

Western blot - Anti-MLH1 antibody [EPR3894] (AB92312)
False colour image of Western blot : Anti-MLH1 antibody [EPR3894] staining at 1/2000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-GAPDH antibody [6C5] (ab8245) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab92312 was shown to bind specifically to MLH1. A band was observed at 85 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in MLH1 CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line ab276105 (CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell lysate ab283566). The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane below 85 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of MLH1. This has not been investigated further and the functional properties of the gene product have not been determined. To generate this image, wild-type and MLH1 CRISPR-Cas9 edited A549 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 (IRDye® 800CW) preabsorbed (ab216773) and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L (IRDye® 680RD) preabsorbed (ab216776) at 1/20000 dilution.

Western blot - Anti-MLH1 antibody [EPR3894] (AB92312)
This blot was produced using 4-20% SDS-PAGE containing 15 μg of HeLa whole cell lysate per lane at 150V for 1hr before being transferred onto a 0.45 μm PVDF membrane at 75V for 1hr. The membrane was then blocked for 1hr using 5% NFDM/TBST, then incubated with ab92312 (1/10,000) at room temperature for 1hr. After being washed three times in TBST, the membrane was incubated with Peroxidase conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) (ab97051) at 1/20,000 dilution for 1hr at room temperature. The membrane was washed three times again. Then the signal was developed using the ECL technique. ab92312 was stored at a range of temperatures (+4°C, +22°C, +37°C) for 1 week before being tested in WB. The image shows the band intensity remains relatively constant across all storage temperatures, demonstrating that antibody activity is not affected.

Biological function summary
The function of MLH1 involves its role in the mismatch repair (MMR) system. It is part of a complex with PMS2 forming a heterodimer known as MutLα which is essential for the repair process. This complex scans newly synthesized DNA for mispaired bases and initiates repair preserving genomic integrity. The proper function of MLH1 and its interaction with PMS2 ensures that DNA replication errors do not accumulate and cause harmful mutations.
Pathways
MLH1 operates within the mismatch repair pathway and interacts closely with MLH3 and PMS2 proteins. It plays a critical role in the recognition and repair of mismatched bases that occur during DNA replication particularly in the G2 phase of the cell cycle. Through its involvement in the mismatch repair pathway MLH1 is connected to cell cycle regulation and the DNA damage response pathway.
