Product Information

Product Usage Information

For optimal ChIP results, use 10 μl of antibody and 10 μg of chromatin (approximately 4 x 106 cells) per IP. This antibody has been validated using SimpleChIP® Enzymatic Chromatin IP Kits.

Application Dilution
Western Blotting 1:1000
Chromatin IP 1:50

Storage

Supplied in 10 mM sodium HEPES (pH 7.5), 150 mM NaCl, 100 µg/ml BSA, 50% glycerol and less than 0.02% sodium azide. Store at –20°C. Do not aliquot the antibody.

Specificity / Sensitivity

SSRP1 (E1Y8D) Rabbit mAb recognizes endogenous levels of total SSRP1 protein. This antibody also cross-reacts with protein of unknown origin at 140 kDa in some cell lines.

Species Reactivity:

Human, Mouse, Rat, Monkey

Species predicted to react based on 100% sequence homology

Chicken

Source / Purification

Monoclonal antibody is produced by immunizing animals with a synthetic peptide corresponding to residues surrounding Val145 of human SSRP1 protein.

Background

Suppressor of Ty-16 (SPT16) and structure-specific recognition protein-1 (SSRP1) are subunits of the facilitates chromatin transcription (FACT) complex that is essential for transcription elongation (1,2). FACT facilitates RNA polymerase-dependent transcription of chromatin templates by destabilizing the nucleosomes within the open reading frames of active genes (3-5). FACT destabilizes the nucleosomes, which would otherwise act as barriers to RNA polymerase transcription activity, by disrupting histone-histone and histone-DNA contacts that lead to the eviction of the histone H2A-H2B dimer (2,3,6). FACT may also function as a histone chaperone to reassemble nucleosomes after RNA polymerase passage (7). In addition to transcription, FACT activity has been shown to have a role in DNA replication in yeast and in DNA repair by contributing to the activation of p53 by CK2 and by facilitating histone H2AX-H2B exchange upon DNA damage (8,9).

Species Reactivity

Species reactivity is determined by testing in at least one approved application (e.g., western blot).

Western Blot Buffer

IMPORTANT: For western blots, incubate membrane with diluted primary antibody in 5% w/v nonfat dry milk, 1X TBS, 0.1% Tween® 20 at 4°C with gentle shaking, overnight.
