Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.
Specificity / Sensitivity
4E-BP2 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total 4E-BP2, independent of phosphorylation. This antibody does not cross-react significantly with 4E-BP1.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues at the carboxy-terminus of human 4E-BP2. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from A673 cells, untreated or nocodazole-treated (100 ng/ml,16hrs), using 4E-BP2 Antibody (upper) or 4E-BP1 Antibody #9452 (lower). Extracts were treated with lambda phosphatase NEB#P0753 (10,000 U/ml for 1 hour) to dephosphorylate both proteins.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of bacterially expressed GST-4E-BP1 and of extracts from NIH/3T3 cells, using 4E-BP2 Antibody and 4E-BP1 Antibody #9452.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human colon carcinoma, showing cytoplasmic and nuclear localization, using 4E-BP2 Antibody.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human lung carcinoma, using 4E-BP2 Antibody.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human follicular carcinoma (thyroid), using 4E-BP2 Antibody.
Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometric analysis of HeLa cells, using 4E-BP2 Antibody (blue) compared to a nonspecifc negative control antibody (red).
Background
Translation repressor protein 4E-BP1 (also known as PHAS-1) inhibits cap-dependent translation by binding to the eIF4E translation initiation factor. Hyperphosphorylation of 4E-BP1 disrupts this interaction and results in activation of cap-dependent translation (1). Both the PI3 kinase/Akt pathway and FRAP/mTOR kinase regulate 4E-BP1 activity (2,3). Multiple 4E-BP1 residues are phosphorylated in vivo (4). While phosphorylation by FRAP/mTOR on Thr37 and Thr46 does not prevent the binding of 4E-BP1 to eIF4E, it is thought to prime 4E-BP1 for subsequent phosphorylation at Ser65 and Thr70 (5).
4E-BP2 and 4E-BP3 share high sequence homology with 4E-BP1, including conservation of the major FRAP/mTOR-dependent phosphorylation sites. Preliminary data suggests that phosphorylation of 4E-BP2 is regulated in a similar manner to that of 4E-BP1, although phosphorylation of this protein has not been as extensively studied (6).
