  • 特異性

    In immunofluoresence, this antibody detects the expected discrete nuclear structure that is termed the PcG body, corresponding to the known localisation of PC2. The antibody has been successfully used to detect FLAG-tagged transfected hPC2 (see picture). It detects a weak band that probably corresponds to endogenous PC2, however, a strong secondary band is also seen at 50kD in all cell lines thus far tested. This suggests that the antibody also reacts with another ubiquitous highly expressed protein.

  • 特記事項


    PC2 and other members of the Drosophila Polycomb group gene family are part of a cellular memory system that is responsible for the inheritance of gene activity by progeny cells.

    The Life Science industry has been in the grips of a reproducibility crisis for a number of years. Abcam is leading the way in addressing this with our range of recombinant monoclonal antibodies and knockout edited cell lines for gold-standard validation.

ターゲット情報

  • 機能

    E3 SUMO-protein ligase which facilitates SUMO1 conjugation by UBE2I. Component of the Polycomb group (PcG) multiprotein PRC1 complex, a complex required to maintain the transcriptionally repressive state of many genes, including Hox genes, throughout development. PcG PRC1 complex acts via chromatin remodeling and modification of histones; it mediates monoubiquitination of histone H2A 'Lys-119', rendering chromatin heritably changed in its expressibility.

  • 組織特異性

    Ubiquitous.

  • パスウェイ

    Protein modification; protein sumoylation.

  • 配列類似性

    Contains 1 chromo domain.

  • 翻訳後修飾

    Phosphorylated on Thr-497 by HIPK2 upon DNA damage; which enhances E3 SUMO-protein ligase activity and promotes sumoylation on Lys-494.

      Immunofluorescent imaging of human cells (U2OS) with ab4189 reveals the expected discrete nuclear structure that is termed the PcG body corresponding to the known localisation of PC2. This corresponds to results seen in Satijn et al.

      IF was performed with a standard paraformaldehyde technique (fixed in PBS buffered PFH 4% for 5 minutes, permeabilised with 0.5% triton-PBS for 5 minutes, blocked with 5% milk / 0.2% tween for one hour.  Primary antibody used at 1/200 in 5% milk / 0.2% TWEEN for one hour, secondary antibody for 30 minutes.  All blocking and incubation steps carried out at 37 degrees C. Nuclei counterstained with Hoechst stain (blue).

      All lanes : Anti-CBX4 antibody (ab4189)

      Lane 1 : HEK 293 lysate over-expressing DDDDK tagged hPC2
      Lane 2 : HEK 293 lysate

      Predicted band size: 61 kDa
      Observed band size: 75 kDa why is the actual band size different from the predicted?
      Additional bands at: 30 kDa (possible non-specific secondary antibody binding), 49 kDa (possible non-specific secondary antibody binding), 65 kDa (possible non-specific secondary antibody binding)



      ab4189 specifically recognises over expressed DDDDK tagged hPC2 in HEK293 cells (lane1). The lower bands are assigned to degradation products.

    Question

    BATCH NUMBER -- NOT SPECIFIED -- ORDER NUMBER -- NOT SPECIFIED -- DESCRIPTION OF THE PROBLEM Non-specific staining. I get mostly cytoplasmic staining rather than nuclear staining. SAMPLE U20S osteosarcoma cell line. PRIMARY ANTIBODY PC2 (ab4189) / 1:200 dilution/ 1 hr incubation. Three 10 min. washes with PBS. SECONDARY ANTIBODY Alexa Fluor Anti-Rabbit in 5% milk and 0.2% tween for 30 min. / 1:600 dilution / Three 10 min. washes with PBS ANTIBODY STORAGE CONDITIONS -20 degrees C FIXATION OF SAMPLE 4% Paraformaldehyde. PERMEABILIZATION STEP 0.5% Triton for 5 min. BLOCKING CONDITIONS 1 hr. with 5% milk/ 0.2% tween. HOW MANY TIMES HAVE YOU TRIED THE APPLICATION? 2 HAVE YOU RUN A "NO PRIMARY" CONTROL? No DO YOU OBTAIN THE SAME RESULTS EVERY TIME? Yes

    Answer

    I'm sorry to hear you are having problems with ab4189, I would like to suggest a few modifications to your protocol: -try a different fixation step, I would suggest a 10min acetone or methanol (ice cold) fixation, it can be a very good fixative in ICC and can also help the permeabilisation to promote penetration of the antibody into the nucleus. -block the cells in 5%BSA in PBST (triton 0.3%) 30min-1hr -incubate the primary antibody overnight at a 1:200 dilution in PBST (triton 0.3%) -make sure the cytoplasmic staining you see is not caused by the secondary by omitting the primary antibody. The Alexa fluor antibodies are very powerful, you may wish to try more dilute antibody (1:1000, 1:2000) and incubate longer (1hr). I hope these suggestions will help, please let me know how you get on and do not hesitate to contact us again if you still have problems,
