Beschreibung
|
"HMGNs are proteins that bind chromatin effectively reducing the compaction of the chromatin fiber and enhancing access to DNA regulatory sequences. Members of this family have a conserved chromatin binding domain which is phosphorylated during mitosis. The sequence immunized is conserved in several species. As such, this reagent is designed as a “universal” reagent for the detection of all phosphorylated HMGN proteins. The High Mobility Group (HMG) proteins were originally isolated from mammalian cells and were named according to their electrophoretic mobility in polyacrylamide gels. HMGs were arbitrarily classed as a specific type of nonhistone proteins based on the observation that they are ubiquitous to mammalian cells, that they share certain physical properties, and that they are associated with isolated chromatin. HMG proteins and are now subdivided into 3 families: the HMGB (formerly HMG-1/-2) family, the HMGN (formerly HMG-14/-17) family, and the HMGA (formerly HMG-I/Y/C) family. Each HMG family has a characteristic functional sequence motif. The functional motif of the HMGB family is called the ""HMG-box,"" that of the HMGN family, the ""nucleosomal binding domain,"" and that of the HMGA family, the ""AT-hook."" The functional motifs characteristic of these canonical HMGs are widespread among nuclear proteins in a variety of organisms. Proteins containing any of these functional motifs embedded in their sequence are known as ""HMG motif proteins."""

Spezifität
|
This affinity-purified antibody is directed against phosphorylated human HMGN protein at pS20 and pS24 residues (other HMGN proteins have this conserved sequence but at other residue positions). 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-phosphoryl-ated form of the immunizing peptide. Reactivity occurs against human HMGN pS20/pS24 proteins and the antibody is specific for the phosphorylated form of the proteins. Reactivity is seen against HMGN1 and HMGN2. HMGN3 is also likely reactive although not tested. Reactivity with non-phosphorylated human HMGNs is minimal by ELISA. A BLAST analysis was used to suggest cross reactivity with HMGN proteins from Xenopus, chicken, mouse, bovine, dog, orangutan, rat and swine based on 100% homology with the immunizing sequence. Reactivity against homologues from other sources is not known.
