Western Blot: Ubiquitin Antibody (Ubi-1) [NB300-130]

Western Blot: Ubiquitin Antibody (Ubi-1) [NB300-130] - Ubiquitination of PML in response to As2O3. PML-/- MEFs were transiently transfected with the empty vector (EV) or PMLIII (left panel) or contructs encoding PMLIII, PMLIII-SIM or PMLVI (right panel). Two days later, they were treated with As2O3 for 1 h. The cell extracts were immunoprecipitated with rabbit anti-PML antibody and the immunoprecipitate was analyzed by Western blot using anti-ubiquitin and anti-PML antibodies.

Immunocytochemistry/Immunofluorescence: Ubiquitin Antibody (Ubi-1) [NB300-130] - Study of mutant BRAF protein found within the inclusions. BRAFV600E/ubiquitin double-IF labeling. A nucleus with a large inclusion is shown with positive immunoreactivity for both mutant BRAF (red staining) and ubiquitin (green staining); the merged color yellow (arrow) points out the co-localisation of BRAFV600E and ubiquitin in the same inclusion.

Western Blot: Ubiquitin Antibody (Ubi-1) [NB300-130] - Analysis of HEK293 cell lysates using mouse mAb Ubiquitin, dilution 1:1000 (Green). [1] protein standard (Red), [2] cells maintained in normal medium, [3] cells treated with 10uM of proteasome inhibitor lactacystin (Lc) for 16hrs. Lysed cells were electrophoresed on 4-20% SDS-PAGE and transferred to PVDF membranes. The smear detected above the 200kDa standard represent accumulation of ubiquitinated proteins in proteasome inhibitor-Lc treated cells. The prominent band at 8kDa corresponds to monoubiquitin. Rabbit pAb to HSP60, dilution 1:5000 (Red) was used as a loading control.

Background: Ubiquitin

Ubiquitin is a highly conserved protein of about 8.5 kDa molecular weight, which has a normal role in the targeting of proteins for proteolytic degradation. To perform this function, the protein to be degraded is first covalently attached to the C-terminus of ubiquitin, and the ubiquitinated complex is then recognized by a complex of degradative enzymes. Interestingly, ubiquitin also becomes covalently bonded to many types of pathological inclusions, which appear to be resistant to normal degradation. Therefore, ubiquitin antibodies are very useful for studies of these inclusions. For example, the neurofibrillary tangles and paired helical filaments diagnostic of Alzheimer's disease, Lewy bodies seen in Parkinson's disease, and Pick bodies found in Pick's disease are all heavily ubiquitinated and can be readily visualized with ubiquitin antibodies.
