Target

  • Function

    The steroid hormones and their receptors are involved in the regulation of eukaryotic gene expression and affect cellular proliferation and differentiation in target tissues. Progesterone receptor isoform B (PRB) is involved activation of c-SRC/MAPK signaling on hormone stimulation.
    Isoform A: inactive in stimulating c-Src/MAPK signaling on hormone stimulation.
    Isoform 4: Increases mitochondrial membrane potential and cellular respiration upon stimulation by progesterone.

  • Sequence similarities

    Belongs to the nuclear hormone receptor family. NR3 subfamily.
    Contains 1 nuclear receptor DNA-binding domain.

  • Domain

    Composed of three domains: a modulating N-terminal domain, a DNA-binding domain and a C-terminal ligand-binding domain.

  • Post-translational
    modifications

    Phosphorylated on multiple serine sites. Several of these sites are hormone-dependent. Phosphorylation on Ser-294 occurs preferentially on isoform B, is highly hormone-dependent and modulates ubiquitination and sumoylation on Lys-388. Phosphorylation on Ser-102 and Ser-345 also requires induction by hormone. Basal phosphorylation on Ser-81, Ser-162, Ser-190 and Ser-400 is increased in response to progesterone and can be phosphorylated in vitro by the CDK2-A1 complex. Increased levels of phosphorylation on Ser-400 also in the presence of EGF, heregulin, IGF, PMA and FBS. Phosphorylation at this site by CDK2 is ligand-independent, and increases nuclear translocation and transcriptional activity. Phosphorylation at Ser-162 and Ser-294, but not at Ser-190, is impaired during the G(2)/M phase of the cell cycle. Phosphorylation on Ser-345 by ERK1/2 MAPK is required for interaction with SP1.
    Sumoylation is hormone-dependent and represses transcriptional activity. Sumoylation on all three sites is enhanced by PIAS3. Desumoylated by SENP1. Sumoylation on Lys-388, the main site of sumoylation, is repressed by ubiquitination on the same site, and modulated by phosphorylation at Ser-294.
    Ubiquitination is hormone-dependent and represses sumoylation on the same site. Promoted by MAPK-mediated phosphorylation on Ser-294.
    Palmitoylated by ZDHHC7 and ZDHHC21. Palmitoylation is required for plasma membrane targeting and for rapid intracellular signaling via ERK and AKT kinases and cAMP generation.

  • Cellular localization

    Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Nucleoplasmic shuttling is both homone- and cell cycle-dependent. On hormone stimulation, retained in the cytoplasm in the G(1) and G(2)/M phases; Mitochondrion outer membrane and Nucleus. Cytoplasm. Mainly nuclear.

Question

Vielen Dank für Ihre schnelle Antwort auf meine Anfrage! Leider ist die vollständige Aminosäuresequenz des Fusionsproteins in der Literatur nicht zu finden.

Der Beschreibung nach handelt es sich um Cre-Rekombinase (AS-Sequenz: http://www.uniprot.org/uniprot/P06956 ?) kombiniert mit einem „nuclear localisation signal“ (Pro-Lys-Lys-Lys-Arg-Lys-Val).

Hinzu kommt eine mutierte Form (hPR891) der „hormone-binding domain“ (HBD; aa 641–891) des humanen Progesteronrezeptors, bei welcher die C-terminalen 42 Aminosäuren fehlen. Diese hätte also vermutlich folgende AS-Sequenz:

FNKVRVVRA LDAVALPQPV GVPNESQALS QRFTFSPGQD IQLIPPLINL LMSIEPDVIY AGHDNTKPDT SSSLLTSLNQ LGERQLLSVV KWSKSLPGFR NLHIDDQITL IQYSWMSLMV FGLGWRSYKH VSGQMLYFAP DLILNEQRMK ESSFYSLCLT MWQIPQEFVK LQVSQEEFLC MKVLLLLNTI PLEGLRSQTQ FEEMRSSYI

Unter diesen Voraussetzungen, wäre es Ihrer Einschätzung nach sicherer einen der vorhandenen Progesteronrezeptor-Antikörper zu verwenden, oder einen Cre-Antikörper? Der Antikörper soll zur immunhistochemischen Färbung von cryofixiertem Gewebe transgener Mäuse verwendet werden.

Haben Sie herzlichen Dank für Ihre Unterstützung!


Mit freundlichen Grüßen

Answer

Vielen Dank für diese zusätzliche Information.

Leider haben wir keinen Antikörper den ich für die Detektion Ihres rekombinanten Proteins garantieren kann. Ich habe drei Antikörper gefunden die vielleicht für Sie in Frage kommen und die Sie sich genauer anschauen sollten.

1. https://www.abcam.com/cre-recombinase-antibody-723-ab24607.html

Immunogensequenz ist das gesamte native Cre Rekombinase Protein. Die Sequenz sollte daher mit der Sequenz in dem rekombinanten Protein übereinstimmen.

2. https://www.abcam.com/cre-recombinase-antibody-ab137240.html

Bei dem Immunogen handelt es sich um ein rekombinantes full length protein des Bacteriophage P1 Cre recombinase.

3. https://www.abcam.com/progesterone-receptor-antibody-alpha-pr6-ab2765.html

Die Immunogensequenz dieses Antikörpers ist leider nicht näher bestimmt. Der Antikörper wurde gegen das gesamte Hühnchen Progesteron gerichtet hergestellt. Die Hühnchensequenz verglichen mit der zur Verfügung gestellten Progesteronsequenz des rekombinanten Proteins weißt eine Uebereinstimmung von 78% auf. Die Detektion eines Proteins werten wir als wahrscheinlich, wenn eine Übereinstimmung von etwa 85% besteht.



Der ab24607 ist unter diesen drei Möglichkeiten der mit den meisten Referenzen und eingereichten Abreviews und daher am besten charakterisiert. Ab24607 wurde schon für IHC-Fr in Maus verwendet und zwei Abreviews speziell hierfür wurden verfasst.

Ich hoffe ich konnte Ihnen etwas weiter helfen. Es tut mir Leid dass ich Ihnen in diesem Fall kein perfektes Produkt anbieten kann.

Sollten Sie sich dafür entscheiden einen dieser Antikörper zu kaufen, möchte ich Sie noch auf unsere RabMab Aktion aufmerksam machen. Bitte lesen Sie mehr über diese Aktionhttps://www.abcam.com/index.html?pageconfig=resource&rid=15447.

Bitte zögern Sie nicht sich wieder bei mir zu melden, sollten Sie weitere Fragen oder Probleme mit unseren Produkten haben.

Answer

Thank you for your enquiry. I am sorry to hear that you have been experiencing problems with ab2675 in western blot. Often it is possible to make suggestions that help resolve problems. We will happily offer technical support and in the event that a product is not functioning in the applications cited on the product data sheet (and the problem has been reported within 90 days of purchase), and if it appears that the antibody is at fault, a credit note/refund will be offered. I have looked through your protocols and they seem perfectly fine to me. However, I have a few questions that I hope you can answer so that I can understand the problem better. 1) I might not know much about this field but is the expression of progesterone receptor found to be high in the kidney cortex? I would assume that the bands you observed are non-specific. Please try using a positive control like oviduct of chicks with your samples. You can also refer to the references found on the datasheet of this product for more information. 2) Can you please confirm the species from which you are extracting the kidney cortex protein from? This product has only been in tested in Human, Rabbit, Rat, Mouse, Cow, Guinea Pig and Chicken. 3) What was the amount of primary antibody you used to incubate the blot? We would normally suggest 1:300-1:3000 but it is up to the end user to optimize the results. Also, what was the buffer you used to incubate the primary and secondary antibodies? 4) You can also try using a lower percentage gel, like 8-10%, as the protein size of this antibody is expected to be around 99kDa. 5) You mentioned that you used reduced condition. Can you confirm that you also included SDS and beta-mercaptoethanol in the buffer and at what concentration? If the above suggestions did you help you resolve your problem, please get back to me with an image of your immunoblot and purchase details (lot number, shipping address, etc). Should you require any further information or assistance, please do not hesitate to contact me.
