Protocols

Specificity / Sensitivity

Phospho-p90RSK (Ser380) Antibody detects endogenous levels of p90RSK only when phosphorylated at Ser380. This antibody does not recognize p90RSK phosphorylated at other sites. It shows some cross-reactivity with RSK2 and RSK3 when phosphorylated at the homologous serine residues.

Source / Purification

Polyclonal antibodies are produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic phosphopeptide corresponding to residues surrounding Ser380 of human p90RSK. Antibodies are purified by protein A and peptide affinity chromatography.

Western Blotting

Western Blotting

Western blot analysis of extracts from HeLa and C6 cells, untreated or TPA-treated (200 nM), using Phospho-p90RSK (Ser380) Antibody (upper) or control RSK1/RSK2/RSK3 Rabbit mAb #9355 (lower).

Background

The 90 kDa ribosomal S6 kinases (RSK1-4) are a family of widely expressed Ser/Thr kinases characterized by two nonidentical, functional kinase domains (1) and a carboxy-terminal docking site for extracellular signal-regulated kinases (ERKs) (2). Several sites both within and outside of the RSK kinase domain, including Ser380, Thr359, Ser363, and Thr573, are important for kinase activation (3). RSK1-3 are activated via coordinated phosphorylation by MAPKs, autophosphorylation, and phosphoinositide-3-OH kinase (PI3K) in response to many growth factors, polypeptide hormones, and neurotransmitters (3).
