Phospho-(Ser/Thr) ATM/ATR Substrate (4F7) Rabbit mAb #2909

Applications Reactivity Source Isotype
W All Rabbit IgG

Applications Key:  W=Western Blotting
Reactivity Key: All=All species expected

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-(Ser/Thr) ATM/ATR Substrate (4F7) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of proteins containing the ATM/ATR substrate motif. This antibody preferentially binds peptides and proteins that contain phospho-Ser/Thr preceded by Leu or similar hydrophobic amino acids at the -1 position and followed by Gln at the +1 position. The antibody does not cross-react with corresponding nonphosphorylated sequences or with other phospho-Ser/Thr-containing motifs. (U.S. Patent No's.: 6,441,140; 6,982,318; 7,259,022; 7,344,714; U.S.S.N. 11,484,485; and all foreign equivalents.)

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing rabbits with synthetic phospho-ATM/ATR substrate peptides (KLH-coupled).

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa cells, untreated or treated with γ-irradiation, using Phospho-(Ser/Thr) ATM/ATR Substrate (4F7) Rabbit mAb.

Background

Ataxia telangiectasia mutated kinase (ATM) and ataxia telangiectasia and Rad3-related kinase (ATR) are related kinases that regulate cell cycle checkpoints and DNA repair (1). The identified substrates for ATM are p53, p95/NBS1, MDM2, Chk2, BRCA1, CtIP, 4E-BP1 and Chk1 (1,2) The essential requirement for the substrates of ATM/ATR is S*/T*Q. Hydrophobic amino acids at positions -3 and -1, and negatively charged amino acids at position +1 are positive determinants for substrate recognition by these kinases. Positively charged residues surrounding the S*/T*Q are negative determinants for substrate phosphorylation (3). The complex phenotype of AT cells suggests that it likely has additional substrates (3). To better understand the kinase and identify substrates for ATM and the related kinase ATR, CST has developed antibodies that recognize phosphorylated serine or threonine in the S*/T*Q motif.
