Species enclosed in parentheses are predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology. Species cross-reactivity is determined by Western blot.
Specificity / Sensitivity
4E-BP1 (53H11) Rabbit mAb detects endogenous levels of total 4E-BP1 protein.
Source / Purification
4E-BP1 (53H11) Rabbit mAb is produced by immunizing rabbits with a synthetic peptide (KLH-coupled) derived from the sequence around Ser112 of human 4E-BP1.
Western Blotting
Western blot analysis of extracts from various cell lines, using 4E-BP1 (53H11) Rabbit mAb.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human breast carcinoma using 4E-BP1 (53H11) Rabbit mAb in the presence of control peptide (left) or 4E-BP1 blocking peptide #1053 (right).
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human hepatocellular carcinoma, using 4E-BP1 (53H11) Rabbit mAb.
IHC-P (paraffin)
Immunohistochemical analysis of paraffin-embedded human lung carcinoma, using 4E-BP1 (53H11) Rabbit mAb.
Flow Cytometry
Flow cytometric analysis of COS cells, using 4E-BP1 (53H11) Rabbit mAb (blue) compared to a nonspecific negative control antibody (red).
IF-IC
Confocal immunofluorescent analysis of HeLa cells, using 4E-BP1 (53H11) Rabbit mAb (green). Actin filaments have been labeled with Alexa Fluor® 555 phalloidin (red). Blue pseudocolor = DRAQ5™ (fluorescent DNA dye).
Background
Translation repressor protein 4E-BP1 (also known as PHAS-1) inhibits cap-dependent translation by binding to the eIF4E translation initiation factor. 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 on 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).
