Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: TRF-2 Antibody [NB110-57130] - HeLa cells were fixed for 10 minutes using 10% formalin and then permeabilized for 5 minutes using 1X TBS + 0.5% Triton X-100. The cells were incubated with antibody at a 1:200 dilution overnight at 4 degrees Celsius and detected with DyLight 488 (Green) at a 1:500 dilution. Alpha tubulin was used as a co-stain at a 1:1000 dilution and detected with Dylight 550 (Red). Nuclei were detected with DAPI (Blue) at 2.0 ug/ml in 1X PBS. Cells were imaged using a 40X objective.

Application Notes
In Western blot, a band at approx. 56 kDa is seen. In ICC/IF, nuclear staining was observed in HeLa cells. In IHC, nuclear staining was observed in xenografted human breast cancer tissue. Prior to immunostaining paraffin tissues, antigen retrieval with sodium citrate buffer (pH 6.0) is recommended.

In Simple Western only 10 - 15 uL of the recommended dilution is used per data point. Separated by Size-Wes, Sally Sue/Peggy Sue.

Background: TRF-2

Originally discovered as part of shelterin complex, telomeric repeat-binding factor 2 (TRF2, also called TERF2 or TRB2) is a ubiquitously expressed nuclear protein (55-60 kDa) involved in telomere homeostasis. TRF2 contains an N-terminal GAR domain, a central TRFH dimerization domain, and a C-terminal SAND/MYB-type DNA binding domain. Trf2 RNA has 10 exons and alternative splicing in rodents produces a truncated form, TRF2-S, which lacks the DNA binding domain and nuclear localization signal (NLS) (1).

Both TRF2 and TRF1 bind to telomeric double stranded 5'-TTAGGG-3' DNA repeats, then recruit RAP1, TIN2, TPP1, and POT1 for the assembly of the shelterin complex. The telomeric association of TRF2 is greatly increased in the S phase of the cell cycle (2). Loss of TRF2 leads to telomere shortening, the DNA damage response, chromosomal instability, and replicative senescence. Interestingly, the contribution of TRF2 to telomere shortening via a telomerase-independent mechanism has also been reported (3). In conjunction with the exonuclease, Apollo, TRF2 protects telomeres during replication and negatively regulates the accumulation of DNA topoisomerase (TOP1, TOP2A and TOP2B).

TRF2 has been implicated in cancer, shown to be a major oncogene in telomerase-deficient mice. A link to Werner syndrome, a premature aging disease caused by the loss of WRN, has been reported based on TRF2 recruitment of WRN for processing of telomeric DNA (4). TRF2 expression is increased during human embryonic stem cell differentiation and has been shown to interact with Repressor Element-1 Silencing Transcription Factor (REST), protecting it from proteasomal degradation (5).
