Product Specifications

Immunogen

This affinity purified Mer2 [p Ser30] Antibody was prepared from whole rabbit serum produced by repeated immunizations with a synthetic peptide corresponding to amino acids 26-35 of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mer2 protein. (Uniprot: P21651)

Modification

p Ser30

Specificity

This affinity-purified antibody is directed against the phosphorylated form of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mer2 protein at the pS30 residue. The resultant affinity purified antibody was then cross-adsorbed against the non-phosphorylated peptide to remove any unwanted reactivities.

Clonality

Polyclonal

Host

Rabbit

Isotype

IgG

Description

This affinity-purified antibody is directed against the phosphorylated form of Saccharomyces cerevisiae Mer2 protein at the pS30 residue. The product was affinity purified from monospecific antiserum by immunoaffinity purification. Antiserum was first purified against the phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. The resultant affinity purified antibody was then cross-adsorbed against the non-phosphorylated peptide to remove any unwanted reactivities.

Store vial at -20C prior to opening. Aliquot contents and freeze at -20C or below for extended storage. Avoid cycles of freezing and thawing. Centrifuge product if not completely clear after standing at room temperature. This product is stable for several weeks at 4C as an undiluted liquid. Dilute only prior to immediate use.

Scientific Data Images for Mer2 [p Ser30] Antibody

Western Blot: Mer2 [p Ser30] Antibody [NBP1-77754]

Western Blot: Mer2 [p Ser30] Antibody [NBP1-77754]

Western Blot: Mer2 [p Ser30] Antibody [NBP1-77754] - Detection of phosphorylated Mer2 in whole cell extracts. Cells were either wild type (+) or contained mer2 deletions (D). Extracts were prepared from cells 4hr after initiation of meiosis. Proteins were obtained using TCA precipitation. The primary antibody was used at a 1:7,500 dilution. Secondary antibody was used at 1:5,000 dilution.
Western Blot: Mer2 [p Ser30] Antibody [NBP1-77754] - Detection of phosphorylated Mer2 but not phosphatase treated or mutant cells. Lane 1 contains Mer2-myc protein detected in wild type cells after first immunoprecipitating the protein using anti-myc antibody. Cells were harvested 4 h after the initiation of meiosis and therefore contain mostly phosphorylated Mer2. Lane 2 contains the same preparation after treatment with phosphatase. Lane 3 contains Mer2-S30A protein as a phosphorylation control. This antibody appears to be specific for phosphorylated Mer2 at the S30 position with negligible cross reactivity against unphosphorylated protein. The primary antibody was used at a 1:5,000 dilution.

The primary antibody was used at a 1:7,500 dilution. Secondary antibody was used at 1:5,000 dilution. Personal Communication. Michael Lichten, NIH, CCR, Bethesda, MD.

Applications for Mer2 [p Ser30] Antibody

Application
Recommended Usage

ELISA

1:5000-1:25000

Immunoprecipitation

1:100

Western Blot

1:1000-1:10000
Application Notes
This affinity purified antibody has been tested for use in ELISA and by western blot. Specific conditions for reactivity should be optimized by the end user. Expect a band approximately 50 kDa in size corresponding to phosphorylated Mer2 protein by western blotting in the appropriate cell lysate or extract. Less than 2% reactivity is observed against the non-phosphorylated form of the immunizing peptide. This antibody is phospho specific for Mer2 phosphorylated at the pS30 residue. Preparation of extracts from cells 4hr after initiation of meiosis is suggested.

Background: Mer2

Mer2 (also known as meiotic recombination 2 protein) is a chromosomal protein that is critical for meiotic recombination and progression. It is phosphorylated at two serine residues, S30 and S271 by the yeast Cdk1 cyclin- dependent kinase homolog. This phosphorylation is S-phase specific, and thus has the potential to be a specific assay for S-phase cyclin-dependent kinases. Moreover, there are hints that the phosphorylation may be a mark of replication fork passage, which would indicate that S-phase CDK associates with the replication fork.
