Species cross-reactivity is determined by western blot. Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology.
Protocols
Specificity / Sensitivity
Phospho-Aurora A (Thr288) (C39D8) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of Aurora A only when phosphorylated at Thr288.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues around Thr288 of human Aurora A.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from hydroxyurea or nocodazole treated HeLa and HT29 cells using Phospho-Aurora A (Thr288) (C39D8) Rabbit mAb.
IF-IC
Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of mitotic HeLa cells during metaphase (left) and anaphase (right) using Phospho-Aurora A (Thr288) (C39D8) Rabbit mAb (red) and Phospho-Histone H3 (Ser10) (6G3) Mouse mAb #9706 (green). Blue pseudocolor = DRAQ5® #4084 (fluorescent DNA dye).
Background
Aurora A (AIK) is a cell cycle-regulated serine/threonine protein kinase that is overexpressed in many tumor cell lines (1-3). Phosphorylation of Aurora A at Thr288 within the kinase activation loop results in a significant increase in its activity and may target the protein for proteasomal degradation during mitosis (4). The closely-related kinase Aurora B (AIM1) has been implicated in multiple mitotic events (5) and siRNA silencing of Aurora B expression results in reduced histone H3 phosphorylation, aberrant chromosome alignment/segregation and altered survivin localization (6).
