Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-ATM (Ser1981) (10H11.E12) Mouse mAb detects endogenous levels of ATM only when phosphorylated at Ser1981.

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing mice with a synthetic phospho-peptide (KLH-coupled) corresponding to residues around Ser1981 of human ATM.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from M059J cells, untreated, treated with doxorubicin, or treated with bleomycin, using Phospho-ATM (Ser1981) (10H11.E12) Mouse mAb.

Background

Ataxia telangiectasia mutated kinase (ATM) is a serine/threonine kinase that regulates cell cycle checkpoints and DNA repair (1). Activation of ATM by autophosphorylation on Ser1981 occurs in response to exposed DNA double stranded breaks. ATM kinase regulates a number of proteins involved in cell cycle checkpoint control, apoptosis and DNA repair. Known substrates include p53, Chk2, Chk1, CtIP, 4E-BP1, BRCA1, RPA3, H2AX, SMC1, FANCD2, Rad17, Artemis, Nbs1 and the I-2 regulatory subunit of PP1 (1,2). Mutations in the corresponding ATM gene results in ataxia telangiectasia (AT), an autosomal recessive disease characterized by uncoordinated muscle movement and neurodegeneration. Cells from AT patients display defective DNA damage-induced checkpoint activation, sensitivity to radiation and a higher frequency of chromosome breakage (3,4).
