Human normal placenta (ab29745). Staining is localised in the cytoplasm and in the nuclei. Left panel : with primary antibody at 1 ug/ml. Right panel : isotype control. Sections were stained using an automated system DAKO Autostainer Plus, at room temperature : sections were rehydrated and antigen retrieved with the Dako 3 in 1 AR buffers citrate pH6.1 in a DAKO PT Link. Slides were peroxidase blocked in 3% H2O2 in methanol for 10 mins. They were then blocked with Dako Protein block for 10 minutes (containing casein 0.25% in PBS) then incubated with primary antibody for 20 min and detected with Dako envision flex amplification kit for mouse for 30 minutes. Colorimetric detection was completed with Diaminobenzidine for 5 minutes. Slides were counterstained with Haematoxylin and coverslipped under DePeX. Please note that for manual staining we recommend to optimize the primary antibody concentration and incubation time (overnight incubation), and amplification may be required.

IHC image of ab7254 staining in mouse alzheimer brain formalin fixed paraffin embedded tissue section, using MOM detection kit, ab127055. The section was pre-treated using pressure cooker heat mediated antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH6) for 30mins. The section was incubated with ab7254, 5μg/ml, for 15 mins at room temperature. DAB was used as the chromogen (ab103723). The section was counterstained with haematoxylin and mounted with DPX.

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.

Immunohistochemistry (Formalin/PFA-fixed paraffin-embedded sections) - Anti-Ubiquitin antibody [Ubi-1] (AB7254)

Immunohistochemical staining of ubiquitin in a 7 months-old MPS IIIA mouse brain (PFA fixed) using ab7254.

Sections, 40 μm thick, were cut sagittally on a vibratome. Slices were permeabilized in 1% triton X-100/PBS for 1 hour at room temperature. The samples were placed on vectabond-coated glass slides and dried overnight. They were then rehydrated in PBS and washed in ice-cold methanol for 10 min.

The slices were washed in 0.3% H2O2 in methanol at room temperature and incubated sequentially with 0.5% normal donkey serum, ab7254 and biotin-labeled F(ab')2 donkey secondary antibody in Tris-buffered saline (pH 7.5) containing 2% BSA and 0.02% Tween 20. The signal was detected with an ABC kit, visualized with diaminobenzidine and counterstained with hematoxylin.

Western blot - Anti-Ubiquitin antibody [Ubi-1] (AB7254)

HeLa cells were co-transfected with a plasmid expressing a target protein together with Ubi expressing vector for 24 hours and either left untreated (Contr) or were treated with 10 µM MG-132 for 6 hours (+MG132). Then the protein of interest was pulled down using Flag agarose beads and and probed with ab7254 at a 1/2000 dilution. The secondary used was an Alexa-Fluor 680 conjugated goat anti-mouse polyclonal used at a 1/10000 dilution. The protein is known to be degraded through proteasome.

Supplementary information

Ubiquitin is a small regulatory protein found in almost all tissues of eukaryotic organisms. It has a molecular weight of approximately 8.6 kilodaltons. It functions mechanically by attaching to proteins through a process called ubiquitination which involves the formation of an isopeptide bond. Ubiquitin molecules can form polyubiquitin chains through different lysine residues such as K48 and K63 that determine their function. These chains label substrate proteins for various fates including degradation. Ubiquitin is expressed ubiquitously in cells reflecting its essential role in maintaining protein homeostasis.
Biological function summary

The ubiquitin system plays a critical role in regulating protein turnover and quality control within cells. It is part of a larger complex known as the ubiquitin-proteasome system (UPS) which is responsible for degrading proteins that need to be turned over. This process is essential for cell cycle control response to oxidative stress and DNA repair. Ubiquitin's role in tagging proteins for degradation or signaling allows cells to respond quickly to changes in their environment and maintain balance.

Pathways

Ubiquitin functions in several important biological pathways including the Wnt and NF-kB pathways. In the Wnt signaling pathway ubiquitination modulates the stability of key components thereby affecting the pathway's overall activity. In the NF-kB signaling pathway ubiquitin labels inhibitor proteins for degradation which releases and activates NF-kB. These pathways highlight ubiquitin's interaction with proteins such as beta-catenin in Wnt and IkB in NF-kB illustrating how it regulates diverse cellular processes.

The dysfunction of the ubiquitin system is linked to neurodegenerative diseases and cancers. Ubiquitin-related defects in protein degradation can lead to the buildup of unwanted proteins contributing to conditions like Parkinson's disease. Connections with cancer are evident as ubiquitin controls cell cycle proteins and aberrant ubiquitination may drive tumor growth and progression. The protein p53 known to be controlled by ubiquitination plays a significant role in cancer related mechanisms when dysregulated. Understanding and targeting ubiquitin-related pathways may provide new therapeutic opportunities for treating these conditions.

Target data

Ubiquitin. Exists either covalently attached to another protein, or free (unanchored). When covalently bound, it is conjugated to target proteins via an isopeptide bond either as a monomer (monoubiquitin), a polymer linked via different Lys residues of the ubiquitin (polyubiquitin chains) or a linear polymer linked via the initiator Met of the ubiquitin (linear polyubiquitin chains). Polyubiquitin chains, when attached to a target protein, have different functions depending on the Lys residue of the ubiquitin that is linked : Lys-6-linked may be involved in DNA repair; Lys-11-linked is involved in ERAD (endoplasmic reticulum-associated degradation) and in cell-cycle regulation; Lys-29-linked is involved in proteotoxic stress response and cell cycle; Lys-33-linked is involved in kinase modification; Lys-48-linked is involved in protein degradation via the proteasome; Lys-63-linked is involved in endocytosis, DNA-damage responses as well as in signaling processes leading to activation of the transcription factor NF-kappa-B. Linear polymer chains formed via attachment by the initiator Met lead to cell signaling. Ubiquitin is usually conjugated to Lys residues of target proteins, however, in rare cases, conjugation to Cys or Ser residues has been observed. When polyubiquitin is free (unanchored-polyubiquitin), it also has distinct roles, such as in activation of protein kinases, and in signaling.
