Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-S6 Ribosomal Protein (Ser235/236) Antibody detects endogenous levels of ribosomal protein S6 only when phosphorylated at serine 235 and 236. This antibody does not detect ribosomal protein S6 phosphorylated at other sites.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic phospho-peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues surrounding Ser235 and Ser236 of human ribosomal protein S6. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from 293 cells, untreated or treated with 20% FBS for the indiccated time, using , Phospho-S6 Ribosomal Protein (Ser235/236) Antibody (upper) or Phospho-S6 Ribosomal Protein (Ser240/244) Antibody #2215 (lower).

Background

One way that growth factors and mitogens effectively promote sustained cell growth and proliferation is by upregulating mRNA translation (1,2). Growth factors and mitogens induce the activation of p70 S6 kinase and the subsequent phosphorylation of the S6 ribosomal protein. Phosphorylation of S6 ribosomal protein correlates with an increase in translation of mRNA transcripts that contain an oligopyrimidine tract in their 5' untranslated regions (2). These particular mRNA transcripts (5'TOP) encode proteins involved in cell cycle progression as well as ribosomal proteins and elongation factors necessary for translation (2,3). Important S6 ribosomal protein phosphorylation sites include several residues (Ser235, Ser236, Ser240 and Ser244) located within a small, carboxy-terminal region of the S6 protein (4,5).
