Specificity / Sensitivity
Non-phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr46) (87D12) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of 4E-BP1 only when dephosphorylated at Thr46. The antibody cross-reacts with 4E-BP2 and 4E-BP3 dephosphorylated at equivalent sites.
Source / Purification
Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Thr46 of human 4E-BP1.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from COS cells, treated with λ phosphatase or 20% FBS as indicated, using Non-phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr46) (87D12) Rabbit mAb (upper), Phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr37/46) Antibody #9459 (middle), and 4E-BP1 Antibody #9452 (lower).
Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometric analysis of COS cells, untreated (blue) or λ phosphatase-treated (green), using Non-phospho-4E-BP1 (Thr46) (87D12) Rabbit mAb compared to a nonspecific negative control antibody (red).
Background
Translation repressor protein 4E-BP1 (also known as PHAS-1) inhibits cap-dependent translation by binding to the translation initiation factor eIF4E. 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 at 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).
