Protocols
- 4802:
- Western Blotting
Specificity / Sensitivity
SMC1 Antibody detects endogenous levels of total SMC1 protein.
Source / Purification
Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with synthetic peptides corresponding to residues near the amino terminus of human SMC1. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from 293 cells, untreated or UV-treated, using Phospho-SMC1 (Ser957) Antibody #4801 (upper) or SMC1 Antibody (lower).
Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometric analysis of HeLa cells, using SMC1 antibody (blue) compared to a nonspecific negative control antibody (red).
Background
Structural maintenance of chromosomes 1 (SMC1) protein is a chromosomal protein member of the cohesin complex that enables sister chromatid cohesion and plays a role in DNA repair (1,2). ATM/NBS1-dependent phosphorylation of SMC1 occurs at Ser957 and Ser966 in response to ionizing radiation (IR) as part of the intra-S-phase DNA damage checkpoint (3). SMC1 phosphorylation is ATM-independent in cells subjected to other forms of DNA damage, including UV light and hydroxyurea treatment (4). While phosphorylation of SMC1 is required for activation of the IR-induced intra-S-phase checkpoint, the precise mechanism is not well understood and may involve a conformational change that affects SMC1-SMC3 interaction (3).
