Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-mTOR antibody [Y391] (AB32028)
Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) analysis of human breast carcinoma tissue labelling mTOR with purified ab32028 at a dilution of 1/400. Heat mediated antigen retrieval was performed using EDTA buffer pH 9. ab97051, a HRP-conjugated goat anti-rabbit IgG (H+L) was used as the secondary antibody (1/500). Negative control using PBS instead of primary antibody. Counterstained with hematoxylin.

Immunohistochemistry (Frozen sections) - Anti-mTOR antibody [Y391] (AB32028)
IHC image of mTOR staining in a section of frozen normal human heart performed on a Leica BONDTM system using the standard protocol. The section was fixed in 10% paraformaldehyde (10 min) prior to staining. The section was incubated with ab32028, 1/200 dilution, 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. The inset secondary-only control image is taken from an identical assay without primary antibody.
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.

Western blot - Anti-mTOR antibody [Y391] (AB32028)
False colour image of Western blot : Anti-mTOR antibody [Y391] staining at 1/1000 dilution, shown in green; Mouse anti-CANX [CANX/1543] (ab238078) loading control staining at 1/20000 dilution, shown in red. In Western blot, ab32028 was shown to bind specifically to mTOR. A band was observed at 250 kDa in wild-type A549 cell lysates with no signal observed at this size in MTOR CRISPR-Cas9 edited cell line ab283257. The band observed in the CRISPR-Cas9 edited lysate lane below 250 kDa is likely to represent a truncated form of mTOR. 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 MTOR 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 800CW and Goat anti-Mouse IgG H&L 680RD at 1/20000 dilution.

ChIC/CUT&RUN sequencing - Anti-mTOR antibody [Y391] (AB32028)
CUT&RUN profiling with mTOR antibody reveals the expected genomic enrichment pattern in cells. Representative genome browser tracks show CUT&RUN data generated using the CUTANA™ CUT&RUN Kit (EpiCypher 14-1048) with mTOR antibody (Abcam ab32028, 0.5 µg). 500,000 HEK293T cells were used per reaction. IgG, H3K4me3, and H3K27me3 antibodies were included as controls to assess non-specific background, active promoters, and repressed chromatin, respectively. Libraries were prepared using the CUTANA™ CUT&RUN Library Prep Kit (EpiCypher 14-1001). Sequencing was performed with paired-end 50 bp reads, and data were processed on CUTANA™ Cloud (cloud.epicypher.com) by alignment to the hg38 genome. Images were generated using Integrative Genomics Viewer (IGV, Broad Institute).

Heatmaps were generated using ChAsE (Younesy et al., Bioinformatics 2016; PMID 27378294). Row-linked data are ranked by intensity relative to mTOR, with red indicating high localized enrichment and blue denoting background.

Biological function summary
MTOR integrates signals from nutrients growth factors and cellular energy status to maintain cellular homeostasis. It forms part of two distinct complexes mTORC1 and mTORC2 which differ in their component proteins and downstream effects. mTORC1 primarily responds to amino acids and regulates protein synthesis through phosphorylation of key substrates like S6K1. On the other hand mTORC2 is important for maintaining cytoskeletal integrity and cell survival highlighting the protein's importance in diverse cellular processes.
Pathways
MTOR plays a pivotal role in the PI3K/AKT/mTOR pathway which governs cell growth proliferation and survival. It also has implications in the regulation of the AMPK pathway which senses cellular energy levels. Through these pathways mTOR interacts with proteins such as AKT and TSC2. The phospho-mTOR specifically the S2448 phospho-mTOR serves as an important functional marker in these signaling cascades linking extracellular signals to downstream cellular responses.
