Immunocytochemistry/ Immunofluorescence - Anti-PACT (PKR activating protein) / PRKRA antibody (AB31967)
ab31967 staining PACT (PKR activating protein) / PRKRA in Hek293 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 ab31967 at 5µg/ml and ab7291, Mouse monoclonal [DM1A] to alpha Tubulin - Loading Control. Cells were then incubated with ab150120, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Mouse IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 594), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in green) and ab150081, Goat polyclonal Secondary Antibody to Rabbit IgG - H&L (Alexa Fluor® 488), pre-adsorbed at 1/1000 dilution (shown in pseudocolour red). Nuclear DNA was labelled with DAPI (shown in blue).
Image was acquired with a high-content analyser (Operetta CLS, Perkin Elmer) and a maximum intensity projection of confocal sections is shown.

Immunoprecipitation - Anti-PACT (PKR activating protein) / PRKRA antibody (AB31967)
PACT (PKR activating protein) / PRKRA was immunoprecipitated using 0.5mg Mouse Testis tissue, 5µg of Rabbit polyclonal to PACT (PKR activating protein) / PRKRA 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, Mouse Testis tissue lysate 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 ab31967.

ab31967 was shown to recognize PACT (PKR activating protein)/PRKRA when PACT (PKR activating protein)/PRKRA knockout samples were used, along with additional cross-reactive bands. Wild-type and PACT (PKR activating protein)/PRKRA knockout samples were subjected to SDS-PAGE. ab31967 and ab18058 (loading control to Vinculin) were diluted at 1 μg/ml and 1/10000 respectively 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 1/10000 dilution for 1 h at room temperature before imaging.

Biological function summary
PACT involves in the cellular stress response signaling. It serves as an activator for PKR a kinase that becomes active during viral infections and stress. PACT forms complexes with PKR facilitating its activation and subsequent initiation of downstream signaling cascades. It contributes significantly to the regulation of protein synthesis and cell growth by modulating these pathways. In conditions of stress PACT ensures adequate PKR activation for host defense.
Pathways
PACT is key in the interferon signaling pathway and the stress response pathway. It partners with PKR to suppress protein synthesis through phosphorylation of the eukaryotic initiation factor 2 alpha (eIF2α) which slows down protein production during cellular stress. This interaction places PACT at a junction of antiviral defense and stress adaptation with PKR serving as an essential protein involved in these pathways.
